My guess is that the microphone cable is acting like an antenna, and the circuit in the camera is more sensitive to that than in the other cameras.

The work-around could be a simple matter of adding a small clamp-on toroid to the cable. Or putting a few turns of cable around a ring toroid. Easy for me to say, because I'm a ham radio operator and I have some lying around in my shack. If you know any hams, ask if you can borrow one.  Many vendors sell toroids online.
