Microphone jack Does this model have a microphone jack to connect an external microphone?

I've spent hours on google trying to figure out whether various camcorder models have microphone jacks. It is never in the description. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can Google "(model number brand) microphone jack" and find a review which specifies. I'm pissed off. It shouldn't take this long to shop for a camera.

I totally agree.If it is there,surely it is an extra bonus to be advertised in the manufactures advertising.

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

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

not a mic input jack, but the unit has a built in microphone, this little unit works amazing. Would highly recommend it.

It's hard to find out, isn't it? I believe we are talking about the same camera. It appears the external microphone jack is an accessory that somehow fits into the shoe on the top of the camera.

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.

Yes, it does have a microphone. Not sure of the difference between those two models.

Microphone not included, and no, I dont recommend that microphone model. I recommend you get a more expensive one, since it would be made with better material and quality

Mine did not come with an external mic nor does it have a place you can connect an optional external mic. It does though have exceptional audio receive. I find the built-in mic has great quality.

I have not tried it, but a mic with a mini-USB plug ***might*** provide external microphone capabilities.

Yes, it has a 3.5 mm external mic jack. You will not be happy with the sound using this mic jack unless you use a preamp such as a Beachtek or Juicedlink.

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

Hi, yes you may be able to connect an external microphone to this Sony camera. This unit has microphone jack (stereo mini plug). -Ely

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.
