    Generally (and there's always exceptions)

    Line might come from a mixing board or anything powered and already amplified. The line input on the camera will not supply any signal boost.

    Mic would come from...a mic. The mic-in connection on the camera might supply power and/or a signal boost/amplification.

    Further, line would be consumer unbalanced high impedance similar to the red/white audio jacks on all consumer audio or video products. External mic levels for camcorders do not match pro mics or computer mics in most cases. You should get a mic designed for consumer camcorder use.
