We love pocket camcorders. The Flip, Vado and Kodak minicams make video blogging a joy, but in the stampede to get down the front at the Hi-def Leppard gig, the issue of sound quality gets trampled underfoot. Enter audio specialist Zoom, holding aloft the Q3, crowned by a set of directional stereo condenser mics. Visual meters are on hand to set optimum recording levels, capturing sound at up to 48kHz in 24-bit with video, 96kHz in audio-only mode, or any of a number of compressed formats. Video is snaffled onto SDHC card at 640x480, 30fps and can be viewed on the 2.4 inch screen.
Now, what on earth do you suppose that could be used for?
