Yes, the camera has a 3.5mm mic input. You would need a mixer for multiple mic inputs.
I recommend against microphones with 3.5mm outputs, however. If you run them for more than 10 feet, they're subject to to RF interference and hum.
If you want high quality sound from mixing a couple of lavs into a single input, I recommend you buy decent mics with XLR outputs (e.g., the [$88 Audio Technica Pro70] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CITVNQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001CITVNQ&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)) plus a low noise mixer/preamp or recorder attached to the bottom of your camera (e.g., a [$199 Tascam DR-60D Mark II] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OOGLZ5A/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00OOGLZ5A&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)).
With this setup, you can run XLR cable as far as you need to without worry about RFI or hum.
Again, hope this is helpful.

Oy. Well, the boom probably isn't really an option that will lead to any better sound than what I've got so far.
So that leads me back to the lavalier, then, doesn't it? What do you think of this one from Audio-Technica?

Seems well-reviewed, price isn't too high... the mic doesn't detatch, though, which could be a problem if I ever want to check out options for a headset mic. The concept of getting a beige headset mic is very appealing, as it would be much less-conspicuous than the clip-on, but my initial searches for good-quality aren't coming up with matches that are in a reasonable price range.
>You need to spend at least 200 on a decent lav,
not true. I have used this mic in many professional settings. It will do fine for amateur podcasts.
