No zoom.Yes Mick is built in. Don't know about the megapixels. Can work on any computer. hope this helps :)

No. Yes the mic is fine. I don't know but the quality is low, and this model is outdated. It should work with almost all computers.

As far as i know and noticed its a regular portable mic, works with any camera, no special settings, and on and off switch built on it

The built-in mike is fine for what it's designed for: Family get-togethers, reunions, your kid's sporting event, graduations, and the like. Loud, steady noise (like what you'd get at a concert) can get kind of mushy, and trying to shoot speaking people in a noisy environment is a dice throw. It does have a stereo mini-jack for using an external mike--and there are some pretty decent mini-jack mikes out there to choose from. To be fair, however, using such a device takes away from the portability and "run and gun" aspects of a camera such as this. I haven't used an M500, but from what I've read on them, I would be surprised if the microphone is set up any differently. I would imagine the experience would be the same.

Check out their website. I think the addition of a speaker Mic is addressed there. Sorry, but i don't remember the details.

Hello. First of all the camera cannot do 24p, it has an effect that makes it sorta look like film but it still records at 30fps. The onboard audio is about as good as onboard goes, but there is no audio hookups for external gear such as a real boom mic. I've purchased both the sony mini boom mic and the stereo mic that can work on the camera, they work alright - but aren't anywhere near audiophile quality. You may want to checkout the Sony ECMHW1 Bluetooth Wireless Microphone if you decide to get this camera..

I got 2. One on home PC that works great on Skype -- picture quality great and audio perfect. Work laptop I use one also for Jabber video conferencing with colleagues in US - very good also. I would recommend.

It does not have a mic but let me assure you that, for the price and quality, it is 100% worth purchasing and buying a separate microphone/headset along with it. One of the perks to this is that it does have speakers built-in and a microphone slot right in the back.

The quality of the mic is very good the volume rocker on the side helps for the cobition of the background noise from outside , ive used it for videos, voice over the quality is very good if you are starting with the podcasting industry , upgrading will be needed as the quality of sound may be desirable with a little more expensive mic , I would suggest a Blue microphone or the Mammoth brand more expensive but the quality if the best

I use it for Skype. The zoom is constantly changing. Big disappointment to have the zoom changing from near to far. UGH!

Hey Keith, Sure. Plug it into your system using a USB cable and then make sure it's selected as your systems mic in webex and you'll be good. I actually use Adobe Connect but they are very similar. Works well for a group around a table or the like. The biggest mistake you can make is plugging it into your computer but then not selecting it as the active mic. Cheers.

YES IT DOES. I was surprised to see that considering the price. I talk to my wife in Vietnam from the West Coast of the US and her video is about 4-5x better than using the 1.2mp camera on her laptop. Also, the mic picks up very clearly. I'm ordering two more...both for my home use. great product for the price!

Thanks for the info Corey! I agree that zooming during recording can get a bit nauseating if done too much/too fast but it is a nice feature to have in certain instances. At least the zoom works before/after like it does on my old 3.2MP Cyber-shot. Thanks for clearing that up.

The microphone works great. It works in conjunction with the MP3 player and is stored in the SD card. I have a 32 gig card. I have about a 1000 songs on it and I am always recording something on the radio. I have only used the mic once but when two people are talking it sounds like stereo. Anything that is saved to the card will create its own unique file; radio1,mic1, songs rock etc . The interface takes a little getting used to but all and all i really like it. I have the ccrane recordable MP3 player also and the sangean is much better. Hope this helps and have fun with it,Mike.

It has a 0.9m webcam and inbuilt dual mic. Here is a helpful review - http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/asus-vivobook-x202e-dh31t.aspx
