I really like the Rode Videomic Pro+, usb rechargable, plug and play, solid audio.
I was able to have audio from interview subjects in loud crowded areas too.
Interview lav situations, I use the DJI Mic 2. User friendly interface and holds a great charge like the Videomic Pro+
My main camera is a canon 550D. It's ancient, but it's what I have and have dew lenses and a variable nd filter
I have another small ancient canon powershot for in pocket b-roll when I walk the dogs or on the road
Got a Rhode video mic pro for sound and a Zoom Hn2 for voice overs
Have a small manfrotto be free and some old other tripods and a broken gorilla pod.
For a small moment, I tried filming a bit with my Samsung m13, but I don't like the video, so use the small powershot instead
5.5 jack but there are 3 and 4 pin cables to plug into the camera. I'm guessing the camera has a 3 pin jack and takes a three ring plug.the cable for the micro may be a 4 pin/ring 3.5 plug. The 4 pin ones are designed for phones that have 4 pin Jack's.

I don't have a snap-8, but research here says the sound is not great. I have a dslr and a rode video mic. There's a second question about powered mics vs non powered and whether the jack supports uncovered mics. Campsnap would know about that, especially if they are going to market their own mics
