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. I personally checked the camcorder and checked the owner's manual and could not find one.

Unfortunately Sony did not have the foresight to add an external Mic port. However, it DOES have dual Stereo speakers/microphones in the front directly below the lens. I was fortunate enough to buy three of these before the price became astronomical. Excellent sound, even without the external mic!!!

Yes there is a built in mic it cannot record without one. However; I think you can even plug in an external mic also.

No not even headphone jack. However the microphone built in the camcorder is very well at capturing sounds.

Yes. On top of the camcorder there is a small lid; open it and you will find a hot shoe where you will be able to connect the external light.

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.

Most cameras usually have an auxiliary port for external microphones. If your camcorder does, you will need to buy an XLR-to-AUX converter cable separately.

There is no external audio input. I just use a separate audio recording system and sync it back into the video during post production. Unfortunate, but at this price? It's worth it.

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

Elizabeth, Go Pro makes a mic adapter to allow using an external microphone - there are a few good videos on YouTube that explain how to use one.

This camera does indeed have both an external mic port and a headphone jack.

It has an external mic jack but no headphone jack. It has an AV jack that a headphone jack would work with an adapter.

Yes to the HDMI. External mike -I don't think so. The built in mike works great. Overall I've found this camcorder to be superb. Very easy to use, with responsive controls. I use a 32GB card in mine and when we're at the beach I set it on a small tripod to film our outing and the kids playing.
