Is there an input for an external mic?

No, there is not an external mic input; however, I haven't felt a need for one. The audio quality of the recordings I have done has been excellent. I also use an Edirol R-09 audio recorder and the Zoom's audio is as good as the Edirol. You can also adjust the directionality of the mic from 30 to 150 degrees, which helps a lot with crowd noise suppression.

Not really, there is an aux in which you could find an adapter for but it is line level not mic level which are 2 different things. You could also use a headphone amp to raise the mic level to line in level but the short and reasonable answer is no.

Im no expert but this does have a mic input that you can use, I use it and it worked out fine once I figured out how to connect everything...what helped me was I did a search for this model to find out the how's and what's-- it would be capable of. They also have a website which if you google the model you can find loads of info that will be helpful, thats how I did my research, good luck hope my answer helped you out

I believe it is designed to accept an external microphone but I have only used the built-in microphone for my use.

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

There is no external audio input. I just use a separate audio recording system and sync it back into the video during post production. Unfortunate, but at this price? It's worth it.

Yes, you can just use one of the built-in mics and it will take up less space. You can also use one built-in mic and one external input.

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

There's a microphone input jack that for an external microphone. I haven't used it yet, but that's what it's for. Enjoy your camcorder.

You could use the analog adapter, and pick up a stereo mic mixer. That's the only thing that comes to mind.

Yes it does. Theres an available plugin for the external microphone. I have not purchased the mic but it is definitely there.
