Do you need to buy an external mic for the bluetooth talking or does it come built in with one?

It comes with a wired mic that you plug into the back of the unit. The wire is long enabling you to have optimal placement. I placed mine at the top of the molding next to the sunvisor on the drivers side in my car. When I talk to people most of them don't realize they are on speaker because of the placement.

It comes with a built in mic, but it also gives you the option to ad an external mic for better voice pick up.

It does have a built in mic and as a speaker phone it self its pretty good. I haven't personally tried using it as a mic while audio out is connected to the car yet.

It does not have a mic but let me assure you that, for the price and quality, it is 100% worth purchasing and buying a separate microphone/headset along with it. One of the perks to this is that it does have speakers built-in and a microphone slot right in the back.

No, it doesn't have input for external mic. Also, please see my review for the camera. We had a problem with ours in that the battery didn't hold charge more than 30 minutes. I actually returned these and bought some panasonic cameras which did keep battery charge and came with AC adapter, everything.

It comes with an external microphone. The mic works well as long as it's close to you; I actually fed it through my driver-side column and clipped it at the top so it's close to my face. Works great that way.

Yes it does have an external microphone and yes it is built-in for bluetooth calls. It works perfectly fine with my Nokia phone.

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

It comes with a wired external mic. Mic placement is key. I've found the best place is on the instrument cluster as it's away from road noise and the recessed cluster catches your voice. You'll have to adjust mic gain for the best sound quality.

No, sadly it does not come with an external microphone. You have to do all the ajustments by yourself. There are other brands that do have an external microphone, like Pioneer which has a Customized Home Theater System (I think they call it "Pioneer Auto MCACC Room Calibration").

Dose not have a auxiliary input jack for that, just the connection for the external mic.

no. the only way i know of to use an external mic with this camera is to sync some separately recorded audio using editing software (you can do this by looking at the visual image of the recorded sound). But for many purposes it would be much easier to just buy a camera that has a mic jack.

No microphone. Some cables offered have mic wire for external mic or different model.

Yes it comes with a mic, unfortunately it's so weak that I've never had it work successfully to have a conversation with.
