Does it have a "microphone in" for recording from outside sources?

As I have said before, this is not what I got, even though it has the number for this item on the package. I got a radio.

Does it take other microphones to make the quality of the recording better. If it does, what works?

No. However from the audio input panel of your computer sound card, you can choose the audio from a different source than the built in mic on the camera.

Yes there is an internal microphone. And WebCam. Great machine and I am glad I purchased it.

Yes, it has built in microphone that work quite well. We video taped our band and the mix off the camera was even better than the sound directly recorded from the mixing board due to the spatial ambience of the arena we were playing in.

Yes it has a microphone - i'm not sure, however if it has speakers as the sound routes thru my desk top speakers.

I do not know because I have never used it for outdoors recording. But it (the mic) appears to be very sensitive. I suggest you read the literature regarding the recorder.

No audio on the cameras, but the recorder does have a microphone input that would allow recording audio if you place a compatible microphone with a camera and connect it to the recorder.

Yes, it has a microphone, but not a particularly good one. There is very little noise cancellation and really seems to be desiged for a brief conversation, say for taking a call during a workout.

Yes to both questiosns. It has an external MIC port and a AV Out port (for headphones).

If by "direct recording" you mean a plug for an external microphone, yes it does have one. Otherwise I don't understand what you mean by "direct recording"

not that I know of...but I only use the device occasionally. I attach it to headphones and listen while it records though sometimes...

Sorry but no. Like most similar recorders, plugging onto one of the connectors from an external source disables the built-in mics. To do what you are asking requires an external mixer.

HI, It does NOT have an external stereo microphone or headphone mini-jack, ...

No. It doesn't have a built in microphone. It does have a great deal of memory space for videos, music, and pictures. I have 8 CDs and 4 playlists, and it still has lots of space.

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.

No microphone and I don't believe it's noise cancelling in the "Records sounds and plays back inverted sound waves to cancel out said sounds" sense but it did block out most noise naturally.

The unit does not have a built in microphone. It comes with a wired microphone that plugs into the unit and had a pretty lengthy cord allowing for mounting it in many locations.
