Does this camera have the ability to hook up a mic/boom for better audio coverage?

It does not, unfortunately. Nor does it have a headphone jack. I am a professional videographer and have found it is a great 2nd/3rd camera for multi camera shoots. For casual single cam shoots, the built in mic does a good enough job. It has a setting so that the mic "zooms in". The camera also has manual iris and manual focus adjustability, although those are all via the menu system (not a separate button) so a little clumsy that way. For the price a great little camera.

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.

No. It has a P2 audio output jack and you will have noise and problems with audio. If your audio is captured other way, so use HDMI conector. But this camera is not full hd.

Yes.The camera comes with a 'stereo' mic jack for external mics (next to an accessory terminal).

no - but it sounded like a newer version of the same thing could do it when I talked with tech people. It might be possible to get a cord that's a headphone cord and split it to an iPod and the mic, though.

Yes. It has both a built-in Web Cam, built in speakers and a built in microphone.

It would if you mount it on a boom. This is the worse on-camera microphone I've ever bought, and of course I returned it. You would do best to get a boom and mic for 18 feet, otherwise you will be picking up so much ambient noise that you will never be able to filter the noise out with any software.

No. Here's a link to a video of probably the loudest event I've shot with it- so far. It may not seem that loud now, but I had to wear earplugs. What it will do is reveal weaknesses in the PA system and sound mix. In other words, if the sound is bad, it'll record it just like it is. If it's good, like in this video, it'll sound good later on playback. One of the main reasons I bought this camera was to record bands, and so far, so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvLGa96YMLU

The camera does have audio pickup from a microphone on the side. It works well across the room. Don't know about the pixels, but the perceived visual acuity is very good.

Sorry No, you can buy these things and external mic if you want extra. the camera is really a great little camera. I use it for bike rides attached to the side of the helmet and it does a great job. (low profile)

yes there is a mic connection. I am using a lapel wired mic with the camera.

Unfortunately no. There is an auxiliary jack in the back, but it is for incoming audio.... I tried it out.

According to the instructions, it has that capability, the mic is on the unit. I have not used that feature.

You might have to do some tricky routing if you want to use the flat microphone but this model comes with a boom Mic. I thought that this sena. Model came with some generous wiring. Give it a try, it is a really awesome gadget.

Yes, it has sound. Just set the camera to video mode, like any other camera.

Yes. It records both, and you can hear it immediately after you record it (in the "review mode"). (some cameras you can only hear audio once it's connected to the computer...not with this camera.)
