avimuno -> Zoom Q3HD video recorder... (Jun. 2 2011 17:00:09)

Hi everyone,
There has been some interest on the foro concerning Zoom's recording devices, hence me posting this quick review.
I received Zoom's Q3HD a couple of days ago... here's a link to it:

My first impressions are very positive... it definitely is a unit designed for musicians. The video quality is ok, but it's definitely not its best feature. The HD definitely allows some good definition but the image tends to react a bit slowly when moving the Q3HD around (I don't know how else to describe it).
The main reason for me getting this little device was to record the guitar lessons I am currently taking in Seville, as well as the gigs I go to... just to have a nice 'music video library' of my trip here.
And I must say that this little device really delivers the goods! As I said, it was designed with musicians in mind, and although the video quality could be better, the sound quality is surprisingly really good.
The two condenser mics really deliver... the sound is clear, rich and is never distorted due to some automatic gain setting.
It's also easy to use... I recorded today's lesson with it and now I'm going throughthe different exercises and falsetas my teacher showed me... really a great tool.
At € 275, it was not cheap... And on the con side, it does feel a bit cheap (not very heavy, and the plastic could have been of better quality) but I am loving it so far and it's turning to be an invaluable tool to work with. Definitely a good product for musicians.
The options of editing videos etc also seem pretty cool, but I haven't gotten into any of that yet.
I'll post some videos soon.
Saludos!
