If you have 20 minutes to kill, you might want to sit through breakfast with me.  Expect nothing special - just  my way of saying "good morning" to you.

I wanted an excuse to test the interview functionality of Zoom's little Q3HD camcorder. 



This has little  to do with law, but it has plenty to do with making an audio/video record of events.  Unlike smartphone cameras, Q3HD gives near-studio-quality audio.

I can use it for interviews, commentaries, seminars, musical and stage performances, including court performances where permitted, city council/ county commission meetings,  I can become an excellent tool for journalists and political/legal activists. 

Compare it with similar devices.  Sonic Sense gave the best price I could find.

Specifications. Q3HD accommodates SDHC flash memory modules up to 32G, has built-in USB plug, A/V and HDMI jacks for TV, additional Microphone in,headphone out, and AC adapter jack. A pair of AA batteries power it.  The review screen gives a beautiful icon menu that lets you set video/audio and other options.  Sensible buttons provide power on/off, record, playback, delete, menu, volume, file select, menu option select.  The 1080p, 720p, and lower resolution .MOV files upload easily to youtube.  And the 120 Degree XY stereo microphone array detects crisp sibilants in the input audio without distortion 3 feet and farther in front of the camera.  The lightweight camcorder fits easily in a shirt pocket, purse, etc.

Accessory. Zoom makes an accessory kit available with the necessary cables, AC adapter, wind muffler, small carry case, and mini-tripod.
