I'm looking for a camera that has good audio system and extremely good autofocus.

I don't mind buying a separate mic jack, but it would be better if i find one that comes with the camera.

I want to buy a Nikon, Canon or Sony. So it would be great if you can tell me if any of these brands have a camera with external mic jack.

A camera is an optical device. Do not expect it to be good in the audio department.

The t3i($800) t2i($500) 7d ($180), 5d mkii ($2000). The 5d is full frame so it's more expensive (the image sensor is bigger than the crop sensor slrs)
