[BellatorParanormal]

[TheBipolarOctopus]

[Anarchyffan]

Can it take photos?

[cp1422]

alien laser gun. nough said

[WretchedDrummer]

it's only $200 now, the $300 is ZOOM Q3HD

for the high definition.

There was an update released for the Zoom q3 though, concerning the lighting.

overall i'm happy with my Zoom Q3 except i think i will jump to the Zoom Q3HD

[MrLukasDiSparrow]

zoom has the worst designers! FIRE THEM ALL!!! as good as they got quality, the design sucks!!!

[lovellespice]

they look like geiger counters

[nitinvirat7]

Please reply if nebody hav an idea about dis recorder....

[Calabria9023]

I would buy it but it looks retarted.

[moosewing2]

@Calabria9023 What about the Q3HD?

[dudewhosaysarrh]

@moosewing2 The Q3HD Irons out most of the Q3 weaknesses, it has better picture quality and is a lot better in low lighting. The sound quality is awesome.

[ROCKO633]

i like this product but i dont wanna upload straight to youtube i wanna edit it first,...something tells me most users are using a MAC computer, how do I convert the formate. or do i have to upload to youtube then get download it from there with realplayer sp? and convert it from there.?

[dudewhosaysarrh]

@ROCKO633 I have the Q3HD and the thing records in .mov format. you can simply download a cconverter program convert the files inti wma or whatever and edit them or you could search for a freeware editor for quicktime. You don't have to upload the vids to youtube first, the upload is optional.

[garciawr2]

just buy the line 6 ux1 if you whant to record sound only its 149 dolars and has best sound quality ive ever seen

[razorkick4321]

i will just buy a flip ultra hd with a zoom h1 when its released

[celtik74]

Is the software Mac compatible?

[trombone7]

I think she's a male bag.

[TheDggroove]

Just got mine too... It's AMAZING!!!

[guitwizzz]

Just got mine... The audio is amazing... the video is good enough. Can't stand all the stupid vids with horrid distortion. The vid quality is WAY better than what anyone had 10 years ago, so all you techy nerds, put the gripes away...

[Hotolive626]

Just ordered mine today!! Can't wait to record my band and shoot neighborhood kids!!! MMWWWAHAHAHAHA!

[phillydwight]

@Hotolive626 just dont record yourself shooting neighborhood kids....can be used against you in court of law

[joseluis1201]

@joseluis1201 HAHAHAHAHAhahahHHAHAhaaa

[tehjrsax]

@joseluis1201

Thanks for the laugh!!

[daddlepops]

@joseluis1201 lmfao

[SuperAwesomeParty]

[AltarCallTV]

YUKKKK

[UK2AK]

Donald, this was a perfect review for us. We are looking for something to use in college classrooms to capture lectures and need great sound...

But if we aren't going to be able to capture the power points and white board sketches clearly, then maybe this isn't for us after all.

Thanks again. Great job.

[StupidMunkey7]

AFRO

[70CarpeDiem]

Best software to edit MOV files from the Q3?  I'd rather not have to convert to avi or wav files . . .

[GerEgerton]

Check out my solo's with the Q3

[Lowdenjim]

This rig has probably been aimed at Youtube musicians - it's great on sound recording and "adequate" on video. Camcorders are usually good on video and barely adequate on sound.

[50N50C]

Looks Like im going to buy this thing.

It only depends...

Can you take only audio? without the video?...

Lets say, i want to recor myself singing, can i take only audio?...or is it always audio&video?

[OnlyOmari]

@50N50C yes you can. there is a switch at the side where you can just record audio.

[50N50C]

@OnlyOmari Cool. very cool indeed. thanks for the info mate. im off to shoping!

[deadendkid1968]

The sound codec that works with the HD files is different than the ones that are produced using the field recorders...they would fare a bit better if they had essentially made a Kodak Zi8 and found a way to mount a Blue Mikey on it.

Blue should make a mic for pocket HD cameras.

[flux302]

anyone have an idea on a recorder that takes a line input so can jack into my studio board and record direct from it?

[cdc7891]

can anyone who owns a Q3 tell us about the battery life pls? are they rechargeable?

[MannyBlue65]

I'm going to wait until Zoom improves the video quality which I think is just as important as the sound quality.

[key2kingdom]

Wish I'd waited. The sound is great, but the video is terrible. My vids look as though they're recorded in a dark cave. I ended up getting some OK-ish vids, but only if I use a 200W light bulb above me, and another lamp shiining in my face. I also have to wear light clothes, and throw a white blanket behind me, to get anything resembling a half-decent vid out of this product.

[TheSchoolsux345]

do the chords to hook it up with a tv and stuff come with it, and btw how much time to you get on one set of battery, can you use rechargable bateries? is there a power supply? HELP MEEEE

[key2kingdom]

no power supply. The cords for the TV come with it. I think you can probably use rechargable batteries. But the picture quality is very poor, the aperture is probably too small. The zoom's ability to see in low light is terrible. Considering it's mainly for musicians, this is a fundamental flaw.

[stephencoxbass]

what's the battery life like?

[xhaloplayerx]

249$!!!! look worth buying though...

[ebildude123]

.....cool but expensive

[passion4drums]

@ebildude123 it's 200 dollars... that's fucking nothing dude. jesus.

waaaay cheaper than other camera's especially for the sound quality you're getting with this.

[crazzer123]

Wow. I haven't that that before (Joke)
