Review on 📹 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 Ross Decoteau

Fisheye is really annoying. The non-detachable wide-angle lens adds a noticeable curve to all images captured. This effect can be reduced with digital zoom, but the already dubious video quality deteriorates noticeably with digital zoom at the lowest level. like a webcam). Again, the wide-angle is a weak point, because in small spaces or situations where you want to get closer, it's difficult to position your subject so that your subject takes up the entire screen (like a tabletop full of devices) without the camera having to be close enough to physically affect the performance. I'm keeping it because it meets certain needs, but it would be much better if it was just a little bit different. My advice is if you plan on shooting something like a wide scene with it, or if you need a streaming camera, you'll probably be fine. However, if you're trying to get crisp video for a polished, well-designed YouTube channel, or if wide-angle lenses just irritate you, you'll probably like a Roland Go mixer connected to your smartphone and a phone clip on a tripod.
