Zoom’s much anticipated, Flip-like Q3HD camcorder is now available. You can find it at B&H Photo here.
The Q3HD shoots 1080p at 30 fps or 720p at 30 and 60 fps. The big news about the Q3HD, however, is the inclusion of the same mic capsules used on the H4n, along the the capture of 44.1/48/96kHz 16/24-bit WAV audio files.
Additionally, a mini plug line-in jack lets you capture audio from an external mic, and a mic gain switch lets you choose between low, high and auto. You also get a visual reference for audio levels in the form of on-screen meters as you record/playback. The presence of a line out mini plug suggests that you may very well be able to monitor audio as it is captured as well.

The NEX-VG10 can accept Sony’s DSLR A-Mount lenses courtesy of the LA-EA1 adapter, which has previously required manual focus operation only. However, this new firmware update will allow autofocus communication through the adapter.
The firmware update is available via Sony UK’s website.

Zoom, maker of the popular H4n and H1 audio recorders, has launched the Q3HD pocket-sized camcorder. The Q3HD shoots 1080p at 30 fps or 720p at 30 and 60 fps.
The big news about the Q3HD, however, is the inclusion of the same mic capsules used on the H4n, along the the capture of 44.1/48/96kHz 16/24-bit WAV audio files. Additionally, a mini plug line-in jack lets you capture audio from an external mic, and a mic gain switch lets you choose between low, high and auto. You also get a visual reference for audio levels in the form of on-screen meters as you record/playback. The presence of a line out mini plug suggests that you may very well be able to monitor audio as it is captured as well.
The Q3HD records to SD and SDHC memory cards for up to 7 hours 720p capture time with a 32GB card, and is powered by 2 AA batteries. It will set you back $299 and should be available this Fall. Check availability on Amazon.com.
