is there a microphone jack on this camera, some jack to plug in a microphone?

No Tom unfortunately there isn't a microphone jack. There is a jack for HDTV and a jack for TV & of course your USB Port.

Hi david, no, it doesn't have a microphone jack. THe camcorder can only record audio using the internal mic. Thanks_Mitch

No not even headphone jack. However the microphone built in the camcorder is very well at capturing sounds.

The simple answer is you can't, at least not one with a 3.5 mm jack. It's the reason I returned my camera and swapped it out for a different model. I liked the camera, but for my purposes, I needed a mic input. This one didn't have one. Sorry.

Though I no longer own this camcorder, to answer your question, the answer is yes it does have a jack for external mic. Great camcorder while I had it; shoots great videos in low-light conditions. Hope this helps.

No, it can plug into anything that has a normal audio jack. just make sure you camera says mic and not headphone, cuz the jack is the same.

yes it does. it's located on the top of the camera next to the hot shoe. You can also plug in an external mic into the terminal on the side of the camera. Great camera. Takes great pictures. I'm very happy with mine.

No, it does not have a mic jack. There is a built in mic on the front of the camcorder.

It does NOT have a mic jack. Unfortunately I'm not able to return now since I've had it over a month. Very disappointing.

Hi, yes you may be able to connect an external microphone to this Sony camera. This unit has microphone jack (stereo mini plug). -Ely

Yes.The camera comes with a 'stereo' mic jack for external mics (next to an accessory terminal).

no. the only way i know of to use an external mic with this camera is to sync some separately recorded audio using editing software (you can do this by looking at the visual image of the recorded sound). But for many purposes it would be much easier to just buy a camera that has a mic jack.

Yes, there is a microphone jack on the camera and you may use an external mic.

Yes there is but you need a 3.5 mm jack cable that converts in to RCA cable. It should come with it.

No, there is not. It's a very short aux cable attached to the mic. You could buy a separate mic with a longer aux cable and be fine.

No... It only has XLR(Microphone cable) or 1/4 jack connectors. I run into a sound card that has those kinds of inputs..
