Review on πŸ“Ή Zoom Q8 Handy Video Recorder with 3M High Definition Video and Stereo Microphones, Dual XLR/TRS Combo Inputs, Four Tracks of Audio Recording – Ideal for Recording, Music, YouTube Videos, Livestreaming by James Vachon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little recorder that

Great camera and voice recorder for what it was designed for. However, when you start comparing it to other options that cost a lot more, you might start to find limitations. The Q8 is designed for killer sound and three-angle video performances (intimate, normal, stage). Excellent for capturing auditions at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated capture device (like the Zoom H6) versus a DSLR for video. Don't expect the Q8 to produce stunning, cinema-quality video clips - it's not made for that. The controls are easy to use and the audio recording features are familiar, especially if you're already a Zoom fan. I bought a semi-hard case and am very happy with it. Unless you have a few extra batteries and need to record all day, skip the extra charger.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • So far so good
