Does it have a jack for a microphone? Can you recommend a microphone? Does it also have a built in microphone? Thanks for your help with this.

This particular camera does indeed have an input jack for an external microphone. That's what I love about this camera. Not only does it have a microphone jack but it also has a built in mic. Depending on what you want to use the camera for, that may be enough for you. Me, personally, I needed this camera to do small interviews that could be uploaded to social media. For this task, and after a lot of research, I went with the Audio Technica ATR288 VHF Battery Powered TwinMic Microphone System. It comes with two lapel mics, one hand held mic, a receiever and a transmitter. I love the fact that the receiver can attach itself to this camera. I also bought the Must Have Accessory Kit for Canon. The kit comes with everything you'll need, including an external microphone that can be attached to the camera itself. Hope this helps...:-)

It does have a built in webcam. I am not sure about microphone. I use a headset for my work. Otherwise it's a beautiful machine! I bought 2 of them!

+++ CORRECTION +++ this camera has both mic/headphone capabilities, it's just that it only has 1 jack, so it's either a mic, or a headphone - NOT BOTH... it does have an 'on board' speaker w adustable volume, so u dont really need t plug in the headphones, but you are 'not able' to monitor the recording, as a result... and so, in the past, i've just recorded a sample, and played it back. p.s. i own 7 of these now, for my biz, and am acquiring more... best 'cheap' hd cam out there, w a dedicated mic input - HIGHLY DESIRABLE!!! i try not to pay more than $120 shipped...

There is only the standard, small-sized jack for a microphone. No extras included. Other jack for Headphones. And another for DC 3V cord. That's all. It's VERY basic.

It has a built-in microphone, but you can also opt to use whatever recording devices you have. For example, I found the mic quality of this camera to be awful, so I use the microphone with my Logitech gaming headset when talking to people.

Yes there is a built on microphone. Callers have told me that they can hear me clearly; no issues with my hearing them. I have had these headphones for over two months, use them regularly. I think they are a great deal for the price. The cord is very short which I like when using a armband, but I lost the extension cord that comes with the headphones and it has limited their utility until I locate a cord to extend.

Thank you for contacting us. The item you are inquiring about does not come with a port to plug in 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

Yes it has a microphone jack on the side and the accessory shoe on the top can accept proprietary accessories including zooming microphones or a wireless receiver for multiple microphones. The built in microphone is a surround sound microphone. I would recommend the zoom microphone for events you are not involved in planning. If you have input and can have the persons you want to record use your microphone I would use the wireless remote.

Yes, it does come with a mic. But it does have 2 mic plug ins, so I also bought an additional mic.

The unit does not have a built in microphone. It comes with a wired microphone that plugs into the unit and had a pretty lengthy cord allowing for mounting it in many locations.

No Tom unfortunately there isn't a microphone jack. There is a jack for HDTV and a jack for TV & of course your USB Port.

Yes, has a built-in microphone. I played with it a little bit, but have not used it and have not had a conversation with someone to tell you about the call quality or the clarity.
