Hello, i have a question to the lucky D-Lux 7 users. Is there a possibility to use an external microphone on the camera?

Nope

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Not good.

I'm a bit late to this discussion but... you can indeed use an external microphone with the D-Lux 7.  Not in the plug-and-play context but in the traditional video production / audio capture perspective.  You can use any number of external audio recording decks and synch them in post-production.  Best of both worlds.

Just remember to do something at the begining or end (or preferably both, in case there is a mismatch of speed) that synchronises vision with audio similar to a clapper board - at the beginning, do it the right way up and at the end, hold it upside down. Possible non-technological solutions include a single clap or hitting something in-shot that makes a noise (not the director 😉
