Looking for suggestions of cameras that can shoot HD video and have an Audio-In jack.
At the moment I shoot YouTube videos on my Nex5N but have to record audio into computer then match up the two in Premier afterwards which obviously adds time to the process.
Not looking for anything expensive.
Suggestion could even be a camera years old I could pick up ebay.

Using a zoom is also a good option
Because the lower end DSLR camera's tend to stop filming after 12mins or do (depending on your SD Card) and you have to hit record again.
Having something like the zoom means the audio is always recording, so you can just edit the footage around the audio and work around the visual cuts.

Also, for a cheap option, most of these work fine for YouTube stuff. One of them and a T3i would be my choice.

SOrry, should have said that im not after a microphone im looking for an audio-in as I'll be taking a feed from my mixer straight into the camera.
(going into the mixer would be mic, synths, computer etc).

I think the Lumix GH4 has audio inputs. I shoots nicely for sure, I have the GH2 (hacked).

I would suggest to get a a gopro, they are fun, record amazing videos (in good light) and good sound and you can plug in an external mic with an adapter.
there is also the zoom Q4
or the Sony HDR-MV1 Music Camcorder
depends on what kind of video you want to make, but it sounds like you could use one of those...otherwise virtually any hd-camcorder has a mini-jack input, so you can get any that matches your budget.

I'd still go Canon T3i and just get Desk out converters to mini jack if you really couldn't be bothered to import the audio after
But if you have a mixing desk, most prob a good Mic then it would make no sense putting the signal into a Camera with a basic audio interface that prob has limited sample rates etc.
You should just get an SSD or more RAM to speed up your computer and figure out a new work flow. Then you could grab great audio from your desk into your audio interface and great video with a good camera and enjoy the best of both.
Rather than using converters (which subtract from the signal) and basic audio inputs on a Camera.
Its I was told many years ago "No point having great speakers, great amp and shit cables"
