2 years later....... thank you Tyler, you make more sense than any other of the 20 videos I've watched searching for answers on Zoom recorders. I'm 81, Classical guitarist playing Latin music, my kids and two followers demand I leave them something of myself when I kick the bucket, so thanks for helping me out here. Cheers, greetings from Down Under and BTW your singing is pretty cool, you're playing the right chords and your guitar's in tune too. Take care. P.S. Love the doggie shots.

Great Video. I have had the Q2N HD camera for over a year. in fact 6 of them for shooting bands. They came out with the 4K of course when I invested all the money in the 6. Now I have 5 of the 4Ks. I love using them for music and me the only camera man with a wide camera and a cutaway close up camera. Works out well. Thank You for your time making comparisons.
@Shelsight2 жыл бұрын
Same here! The 4K came out just after I got the Q2N to record guitar lessons. But no regrets. Love it for the audio I could send to my teacher in lockdown, and for recording my own lessons to see if I’ve improved. Teacher thought the audio was terrific compared to those other students sent from phone mikes. Picture not as good but he could see enough to critique my technique properly… ;) My other half tried it as a webcam during lockdown but it wasn’t great due to battery life. But it’s main gift is audio and it excels there. And is so cute we just chuck it in the backpack when we’re out and want to video w/o draining phone battery.

Quick comment. This is a really good camera for recording a live music performance because of the awesome mic system. The fish eye lets you get the the unit really close and still pick up everyone, or just you. So, if you are doing a music page or music blog or recording live music for whatever reason, you probably want to check this out. Good purchase for the money.

Not to mention filming it that late at night with an early morning flight and not having packed lol sounds like something dumb I would do lol But ya this is incredible the level of detail you go into and comparisons with video and audio is just beyond awesome! Not to mention all your comments and points you make. I do the same for private videos and capturing memories all the time like you said of old stories so you have them.. was laughing at those parts and super awesome you put the space it takes for files sizes and lengths. Also laughed about the hour long videos and whatever camera cutting it up in 10 different files dump into software smash together upload.. Been looking for a camera that shoots in one continuous shot so that is awesome to hear! One question I have how long can you shoot one continuous video for before the file cuts off? Does it go until the battery dies or is there any limit 2 hours etc ...? Anyways amazing review energy and time into this. Watched entire review and you just earned a well deserved sub! Thanks again cheers mate!

For me, I was doing my research about this mic/cam precisely for music, and I loved how it sounds quite condensed, I think it'll sound great for my voice!
