Zoom Q3 Handy Video Recorder
You may already be familiar with Zoom's successful Handy Recorder line - portable audio recorders that offer great quality sound and a wide array of features. The Q3 is the latest addition to the series, and the first to add video recording into the mix. Sure, a portable audio/video recorder isn't a new concept - camcorders have been around for quite a while now - but you've never seen a camcorder that sounds this good. Featuring the same microphone capsules as the popular H4n model for studio-quality audio, the Q3 is perfect for recording live music performances, interviews, conferences, video podcasts, journalism, weddings, sports... anything where high quality audio and video are a must.
If that isn't enough, the Q3 also comes with everything you need to make your own movies right in the box. You'll get HandyShare software for editing and a 2GB SD memory card for up to an hour of recording. If that isn't enough space for you, the Q3 will accept SD cards up to 32GB for a whopping 16 hours of video footage. Then just pop out the memory card or connect the built-in USB cable to your computer and you can get started editing and sharing your video clips and movies right away.
