How many times have you seen families at the zoo using an extrenal mic and wearing headphones to check noise levels? It's all down to expected market. Why add a fiver to the cost if the intended market won't ever use it?

Well I could understand that as a case for not including a mic input, but you'd think a headphone socket would be pretty standard. If only for listening back to it after you've recorded it. But I've actually found more with a microphone socket and no headphone socket than the other way round, which is also bizarre to me.
