Does the in-camera video playback have sound? (IOW, is there a speaker in the camera, or only a microphone)?

Yes it does have sound and when i play back a video, the sound isn't very loud. On the back of the camera, there is little icons on the right side of the screen. The first one is a garbage can, where you can delete pictures. Press the second button below the garbage can and a screen will come up with Date & Time. Scroll down to the bottom and it will say " Camera Sounds " Press OK and then you can set your camera for whatever volume you want. I hope this helps you out.

Yes-get a cheapy weatherproof speaker at Radio Shack or the like. The camera has a built in microphone, but no speaker. I have not tried it yet so I don't know how loud the speaker may be. The sound through the microphone is very good. You may want to try computer speakers when you first get it just to experiment.

This is a couple of videos I recorded with this camera. One of them has music, so maybe it's not available where you are or it might be muted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p0A7PTH4Is and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS50oNKP9Vg&feature;=youtu.be

Hi Sflight, this camera is without audio, you could connect a sound pick-up to collect sound, Thank you.

Allegedly there is, but I could not get the camera to function at all (I returned it) so I can't verify if the audio works.

yes, there is a microphone and all video is recorded with sound. there is no speaker, so no intercom function.

Yes...records audio; however, I would look for a different camera. I have 3 and have had trouble with two of them. One broke right at the end of the warranty, and the company will not work with you. The support is outsourced and they are very difficult to understand. The other one has worked on and off, after replacing the cards several times.

Does it take still pictures? Yes. There are seperate buttons for s.till photographs and live movie recording. Does it record audio only (such as music)?? As far as I am aware, it does not do that as a user selected item. I would be happy for someone to correct me if I am wrong. All the same, one could simply record video without any video input, and then turn that video file into audio only (after the recording is made) by using a program to strip out the audio only into its own mp3 file. Only takes a minute.

Thanks to your suggestion I plugged a Logitech camera/microphone into one of the usb ports (the one on the left side) and sound tested ok as did camera. That should rule out some parts of the machine (like the sound card I think). Anyone able to do this as well?

Yes, the camera records audio in movie mode. There are two small microphones on the front of the camera, just below the LCD display. There is a wind-noise reduction option you can enable in the movie settings menu. The manual goes into detail on what functions might add inadvertent noises to your recording such as the optical focus and zoom motors.

Thank you! My mom has this camera and has been visiting, taking pics and video of grand kids. The sound that used to be there for playback seemed to have disappeared. Thanks to your tip, we got the sound back and my mom is delighted! We had checked the volume and sound in settings, but you have to complete this step while the video is in playback. This is not mentioned anywhere in the instruction manual.

It says it does but I don't hear any sound when I play video back on my computer. I don't know if it's defective or I'm doing something wrong. Pictures are very good.

It has a camera, which I have never used, and other reviewers were not crazy about.Sorry, I don't know about video recording.I just play music in mar, which works fine (but battery life is only a couple of hours.

Yes it has a camera and a microphone. The sound is pretty bad. I usually use earbuds or a USB speaker if I can't hear whatever I'm listening too.

Yes it does. It even records sound WITH the camera, however, the sound of the props overwhelms any other sound around. Not a bad camera though. I'm impressed!

I don't think in records audio, but I have only used the Pictures mode not the video mode as it eats up too much battery life.
