Any help would be appriciated

What is your budget? You can get anything from a Canon MV890 (the cheapest with mic in) at £170 to pro models costing many thousands.

Thanks for the reply, I want to spend around £200 - £300 but it needs to have an audio in socket so we can plug in an external microphone.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Canon is the best for offering mic inputs in it's entry level cams. Canon MV890 or MV901 both have a mic input, and are very good for the money, and cost under £200.
Better are the Canon MVX450/460, but they are very hard to find.

or the new Canon MD101 which is now available; £200

The MD101 is effectively a replacement for the MV890/MV901; I haven't seen it reviewed or in action but I would expect it to be as good or better than the older models.

Thanks Mark

I will be sure to check these products out, alot of the websites I have been on dont seem to list if the camcorder has a mic input or not. I am thinking Jessops will have them in stock.

Thanks again for the help, very much appriciated!
