I have one of those pocket camcorders. I use it to record videos. I want it to record the audio of my friend talking a few meters away from the camcorder. Obviously, it can’t pick up clear sound a few meters away. Is there a way that the camcorder can pick up my friend’s voice?

Note: My camera does not have a mic input
Also note: I don’t want to go through the process of recording using an audio recorder and adding the voice later during editing

I am trying to find a camcorder that has a mic input on it, but can not afford $800 for the Canon HV-20. Are there any other camcorders that cost less? It does not need to be HD.

Thanks!
