Sony PD170, Z1, V1. Panasonic DVX 102BEN, HVX200. Canon XL2, HV1. JVC 100, 101. All these have XLR. However, most prosumer models does have a mini jack mic input.

thanks tommon for your prompt reply. By the way, you know any brand/model microphone that is compatible with those brand you provided?

Any good brand is ok. Shure, AKG, Senheisser, Audio Technica, Sony, etc. It should cost about $150 or more for a simple Dynamic Cardiode. Unless you are refering to shot gun mics then it will cost from $500-1000 depending of brands. Don't use karaoke stuff, you sound will suffer. Check out the brands' website for various models and recommended usage then go down to Sim Lim area and check around for pricing.
