In the news, this device is persistently called a camcorder or compact video camera with improved recording quality. However, in reality Zoom Q3 is rather a good microphone with video recording capability.
The maximum resolution of the videos that Q3 can shoot is only 640x480, but the stereo sound is up to par. Who can use such a device? First of all, to journalists as a video recorder. The text is much more convenient to shoot when you see gestures and facial expressions of the interlocutor. In addition, Zoom Q3 definitely will appeal to music lovers (which sound is often more important than the picture). It’s no secret that at most major concerts and festivals without accreditation, semiprofessional and professional cameras are not allowed, but nobody can make a video with a good dictaphone. To achieve high-quality stereo sound, the Q3 is equipped with two X / Y configuration microphones. Audio files are recorded at a frequency of 44.1 / 48kHz in 16/24-bit linear PCM WAV quality. ')
