Camera VS External Recorder

 What are the benefits of recording audio on your camera vs. an external recorder?  Why would you want to use one verses the other?

Not all cameras are created equal when it comes to recording audio for video. For example DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras don't allow you to have much control over your audio. Cinema cameras usually have XLR ports though. If you're someone who requires a simple setup, recording directly on your camera could be very beneficial to you. Your audios already synced to your video, and it makes editing easy. You may want to use an external recorder though, if you need more control over what's being done to your audio, or if you need to use more mics.
