Does it come with an input for an external microphone? Is a memory card included for one hour of video recording?

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.

It only comes with recorder, sample sd card and 2 batteries. Have to buy ac adapter separately.

yes, it has a built in, rechargeable battery that will last for approximately 1 hour of video recording.

I know there's a microphone jack on the camera. It's just an RCA plug. Has anyone used a separate mic with the camera? If so, where did you find the microphone? I've been looking on the web. I'm glad that some things are included in the box. From the description, it seemed that there was nothing in the box but the camera -- not even a battery!

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.

No it does not. This camera was not made for that type of purpose.For an external mic input, I would like to recommend Panasonic GH series.

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").

It has a mic input and a headphones jack. There's a slot for an sd card but it has a good sized internal memory.

No built in microphone. Camera has a small pigtail cable for power and video only. You will need to provide your own cable run however long u need it.

Mike, I checked the owners manual. A mic input is not mentioned in the index or the parts of the camera listing (23 parts listed). I hope this helps. Tom.

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 mic. But I wouldn't buy it again. Find anything but a Pioneer.

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