Inactivesqueeks,
Sometimes, even though a camera has a hot shoe, it doesn’t mean that they will support everything that there is such as an XLR adapter. I took a few minutes and did some digging and I did not find… nor did it say that the DCR-HC96 supports a XLR adapter. It does support a few of Sony’s shotgun stereo mics and flash units but that’s it.
All is not lost though, there is a company called BeachTek that make XLR adapters that will except XLR connectors. You plug the XLR mics into that unit and from that unit there is a plug that you just plug into your 1/8 pin mic input. See link below:

RAM – that model doesn’t have a mic input.
I think he’s stuck with the proprietary Sony mics for intelligent hot shoes.
:-// OUCH! I actually assumed that for a camera that runs around $700.00 that there would be a mic input.
Sorry about that!
Well "squeeks" like my man said, the only option other then the onboard mic would be the attachable Sony mini shot guns.

ParticipantThat’s odd – I have a two year old, $500 HC40 and it has a mini Mic input jack.

ParticipantSqueeks, what kind of mic do you have for your HC96? There are two that I know of:
ECM-HGZ1 Shotgun Microphone
ECMHST1 Stereo Microphone
I bought the stero mic and both are being delivered today. I didn’t realize how important a mic and headphone jack were until AFTER I ordered these items. Do you like the camera? Pluses? Minuses?

I’ve got the HDR-SR1 and it has the 1/8" mic input. I am looking at getting a beachtek xlr adapter. Is it worth it to get the phantom power?
I have one of those shotgun mics from sony. I agree the onboard is better in most cases. Less noise!
