I'm sorry if this seems a silly question, but is this the same camera as the XZ-2 iHS? Does it have the external microphone jack?

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.

Dear customer, Thank you very much for you inquiry. It does not have an external microphone terminal. Thank you very much. SHOP TAKAM JAPAN

I believe this is iHS. There was no indication on the packaging or on the camera, but I think all xz-2s are iHS. According to Olympus you can use an Olympus Sema-1 Microphone Adapter Set through the accessory port.

This is simply a different color version of the black xz-2. The only way either of them have an external audio input is through the SEMA-1 adapter the goes into the accessory port and flash shoe mount on the top.

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: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-VIXIA-Camcorder-External-Microphone/dp/B00CDY5DMG/ref=sr_1_12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1407768189&sr=1-12&keywords=external+microphone+canon+vixia+hg20

Yes, this camcorder has an external mic input, Stereo Mini jack, and a headphone jack.

Hi Amazon Customer, the camcorder does not have a mic jack. You can only record audio with the built in stereo microphone. Thanks_Mitch

No, not that I see in the online manual, plus I don't see connectivity on the camera for an external mike.http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/4424086131/EN/contents/02/index.html

Sadly no. The camera does not have a mic input jack, but even after I bought an adapter, it did not work

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.

There are two small jacks on the back side (holes). As looking at theback, the right one is power (marked), the right one is speaker jack. Simply plug a small jack into that port and there ya go. The camera it'self has a built in microphone.

I know that Sony sells a separate microphone and that is considered the external mic. This unit records perfectly without it.

no it is not. the d3100 does not have a mic input jack.. I learned this after I got this product.. the input jack is for headphones.. if you need a microphone I suggest getting a digital recorder then matching the sound with the video in whatever editor you use

It's the same as an audio input that many larger DSLRs have, yes. The mic is optional, quite cheap and bad quality especially compared to any zoom recorder.

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.

Hi, currently we have 2 types of wireless microphone. One is ECM-W1M that uses multi-interface shoe for its main unit and the other is ECM-AW4 that uses microphone jack. However, this camcorder HDR-CX210 doesn't have a multi-interface shoe or mic in jack. -Ely

From what I understand, there is no microphone input jack for this camera. I've had the camera for a while now and I've wondered if it had this feature. What kind of microphone do you use for your other cameras?

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.

The ZS25 lacks several of the flagship ZS30 features. Wifi, GPS, and just one mic for mono audio recording.The camera comes with a lower price. A great shooter if you don't need these extras.
