Mic jack? Does the Panasonic TA-1 have a jack for an external microphone?

From my research, it does not have an external microphone jack. Some reviews I've found: http://www.t3.com/reviews/cameras/camcorders/panasonic-hm-ta1-review

Hello there! These two way radios do come with a external jack that is compatible with the use of headsets.

No, not that I see in the online manual, plus I don't see connectivity on the camera for an external mike. http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/4424086131/EN/contents/02/index.html

There is a built in condenser mic as well as a 3.5mm jack for an external mic if you wish to use that instead. From the manual: "You can also use commercially available microphones. Connect the external microphone to the MIC terminal. Use commercially available condenser microphones with their own power supply. You can connect almost any stereo microphone with a 3.5mm plug but audio levels may vary."

No, it doesn't appear to have an external mic jack, but that hasn't been a problem for my purposes. It picks up sound very well. It has two mics (stereo) on the front under the lens.

Yes, it does have an input jack for microphone in addition to the internal microphone.

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

No as you can see from the hi detail images I up'd there are no mic jacks as mentioned.

Try radio shack, the mic jack is probably similar to headsets and should be easy enough to locate.

Yep it has a microphone input in a small compartment on the right side. I believe it's a standard 3.5 mm jack though I haven't actually tested plugging in anything yet.

No -- you can plug in other microphones (high impedance types that use the mini-plug). The problem is that you'd likely want a way to mount the microphone to the camera...however the hot shoe (often used for external mic's like a shotgun mic) is occupied by the SEMA-1 itself. Some have modified theirs to stick a cold shoe on top (some pre-drilling and very small screws). Or perhaps using a bracket that attaches below the camera (with the tripod mount) could work. For my video work, I've taken to just using the SEMA-1 with the included mic to have an audio track to sync an external recorder (like a Zoom H4N) to the video. That way I can use (relatively) inexpensive condensor mic's with xlr cabling. Like the Marshall MXL 603s's I just found on ebay.

No. It does have a Microphone-In jack, but the audio must be monitored in post.

No, is does not have a microphone jack, but the microphone is very good and picks up clear sound from a good distance. I have never used it in a crowded or noisy situation. It's a good camera, I have been happy with it. I've used it for many recordings.

There is no microphone jack. The camera has a very useful microphone built in however. I have 3 of these cameras.

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.
