From my research TestFreaks.co.uk looks quite useful for aggregating
reviews from elsewhere.

From what I can see the Panasonic SDR-S26 looks quite promising (about
£181) but no sign of an external microphone hole. ??
Camcorders - SD Camcorders - SDR-S26 - Specification - UK & Ireland

The Samsung VP-MX20 also looks quite promising (£132) but again no
sign of any way of connecting an external microphone.
designed to perform VP-MX20 - flash camcorder - camcorders | SAMSUNG

Gads - don't most camcorder even allow external microphones?

My rule of thumb is not to expect a mic input connector on any
camcorder under US$500. Expecting high-end features like mic
connectors on very low end camcorders is just fantasy.
