Even a crummy 1/8" tape-recorder jack is better than nothing! My mid-level Panasonic GV-400 has no audio input (or output, for that matter) except the fixed microphone above the lens. This does not make for good sound. Cheers! Al B.

They still aren't very cheap. Peter and I have a container all labeled, full of all our old episodes and shorts. Yeah, plus there’s the actual cost of Mini-DV tapes. They still aren’t very cheap.
