can i use an external mic with this camera

Yes you can...With excellent results. ..The R300 may be the least expensive camera which allows for that. ..you also have the ability to simultaneously use on board and external mics and have balance controls. ...pretty sweet!

Yes you may, provided that the mic has a 3.5 mm stereo or mono connector. You can get those from electronic shops that sell music stuff.

Has built in microphone, volume can be a adjusted 1-13 in settings. Not sure what a external mike input needs but there is no jack or plug in on the camera body or in the waterproof access port area.

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

Most cameras usually have an auxiliary port for external microphones. If your camcorder does, you will need to buy an XLR-to-AUX converter cable separately.

The only external ports are HDMI, USB, AV, DC. I will have to check the manual for external mic connections, but there are 2 mice on the front of the lens.

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

Yes you can. The camera does not have a speaker so there is no audio playback. Not a deal breaker. Audio comes out fine on desktop playback.

Yes you can, there is built in web server but i strongly advise you get some software and set up external to camera.

Yes you can use this setup to record right to the camera, or you can use an external recorder like a Zoom H4N etc.

From what I can tell, there is no external mic input on this camera. It only has AV outputs, HDMI output, and USB output. You can only use the internal mic. That being said, the internal mic is pretty good, and even gets decent sound when I record my band with it, at high volume levels. It doesn't overload the mic, which means it has some kind of good auto level control.

Kevin W., I just double-checked this specific videocam again. There is no way to connect an external mic. There is 1 slot labeled "AV", but this is merely for playback purposes. The included cord that fits into this slot has at its other end the typical 3 jacks, colored red, yellow, and white.

The HDR AS30V does have an external mic input, however I have never used it so I can't rate it.

Elizabeth, Go Pro makes a mic adapter to allow using an external microphone - there are a few good videos on YouTube that explain how to use one.

It does not come with an external microphone. Like most camcorders, it has a built-in microphone. But, there are a few external microphones for this camcorder model for sale on Amazon. Here is one: Canon VIXIA HG20 Camcorder External Microphone

Yes you can but it is little complicated, need to be wired not wireless and you need to a small speaker, both conections are in the back, mic is built in the camera.
