So Zoom also has a video version of their handy recorders.
I'm not sure how long it's been around...

Has anybody used one? Seems like a neat idea: sort of like
a Flip with really good audio, I think. Though, the user interface
on the H2 is less than stellar, so I wonder if it's a hindrance on
the Q3 with the added problem of video settings.

Re: Zoom video recorder
I have one. delighted. sound quality excellent super easy to use video is fine. I dont use my H4 hardly now. the q3 stands in. Im planning on doing a whole bunch of you tube clips over the winter.
its not much as a video camera, zoom is noisy but it works. and cost SFA. excellent for my purposes.
recomended

Re: Zoom video recorder
Thanks, fw. Is there a mode to record audio
without video (i.e., just use it as an audio
recorder)? Might be nice if you don't need
video and want to save file size.

Re: Zoom video recorder
There is a dedicated switch for it.The Q3 is the only portable camcorder that allows you to turn off the video and record audio only. As a high-quality linear PCM audio recorder, the Q3 supports audio recording at 96kHz / 24-bit resolution which is superior to CD quality. You can also record in MP3 format for handy uploading to your website or email.

Re: Zoom video recorder
Its a great improvement to the H4 for ease of battery and card access. different tool of course not a comparison on any other level really. I got it xat free from the states... camera stand attachment is simpler and an improvement over the H4. I never tried a H2 .The H1 is out so I reckon that is probably the cheapest yoke 4 sessions now, just a guess. Anyone tried it?
