What is your budget range? Is the built-in projector important to you? If not, and if you must have a Sony, then consider the Sony 32GB HDR-CX430V HD Handycam Camcorder. The CX430V has microphone and headphone inputs. Personally, I think having an external mic option is important and the ability to monitor sound through a headphone is important as well. Another good option might be the Canon VIXIA HF M500 Full HD Camcorder.
