Yes. The Sony I got has a proprietary hot-shoe for Sony-only accessories, including microphones, but they don't seem to offer any that aren't rigidly mounted to the camera (weird). For a very brief time, B&H was selling a Sony adapter that had a standard 1/8" input on it, but that's become discontinued and is unavailable. I missed the window on that by about a week, it seems.
