Yes, it has a 3.5 mm external mic jack. You will not be happy with the sound using this mic jack unless you use a preamp such as a Beachtek or Juicedlink.

I have not had the opportunity to use it but, yes the camera does have an external microphone jack.

No mic jack. There was a built in mic I never used. I would not recommend the item in any case. The sliding tuner was undependable, and the sound was poor.

no the usb cord does, but if you buy a mic I'd think that it would come with it's own.

Yes it does have an external microphone and yes it is built-in for bluetooth calls. It works perfectly fine with my Nokia phone.

No it doesn't, but it was able to purchase an external one very inexpensive from Amazon. This is a Christmas gift so I haven't tried it out yet

No microphone. Some cables offered have mic wire for external mic or different model.

Hi Ron, My husband has used it more than I have. He says it does have a port to hook up an external microphone as well as the built in one. Hope this helps. It has worked well for the purpose we bought it for.

Yes it does, but it is on the left side of the unit. It's a powered jack if you need it. I use the Sony ECMCS3 stereo lav mic with great success. The top jack is for headphones.

I have not tried it, but a mic with a mini-USB plug ***might*** provide external microphone capabilities.

Does not need an external plug in mic. It has 2 internal ones built into the top of the device

Not sure. If this is the same model I bought it doesn't. In the description, it should say if it has a mic jack. If it doesn't, no. I ended up buying a second one that had a mic jack. This one, however, does a good job of recording in person.

YES yes it does.with an adapter to plug it into the mic port of your desktop or laptop

No external mics included, you have to buy a kit that contains 2 external mics. Which is what I did.

Yes it does, I have mine with an external microphone (I bought it separately)

It's hard to find out, isn't it? I believe we are talking about the same camera. It appears the external microphone jack is an accessory that somehow fits into the shoe on the top of the camera.
