Tiny T6 Microphone
"Is there anyway to hook up an external microphone on the Canon Rebel T6? Whether you have to use an adapter or something.."
Hi Mal,
Thanks for your question about shooting video with the Canon 6t.
Unfortuneately, Canon made a big mistake in not including a jack for remote sound recording while shooting video with your Rebel t6. The tiny condensor microphones just don't do a good enough job for sound quality unless your voice, right next to the microphone, is all the sound you need.
I contacted my support friends over at Canon USA to confirm this and there is no work around. I really wondered why Canon designed the T6 as they did. I know the T6i is such a better camera (at twice the price). The t6 sensor is the older 18 MP and the processor is only a digic 4+.

The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 outsells them all, so is 50mm f/1.4 version worth it? My review with sample images. Is the Canon 50mm f/1.4 Lens Any Good

If I wanted to have my 6d refurbished, what kind of cost am I looking at. It works fine but, I still want it brought up to as much excellence as possible!
