This is going to be cool. Zoom is coming out with the Q3 in September - the first ever pocket-size, semi-professional audio and video recorder to hit the market. Zoom is announcing the street price to be around $250. The Q3 will definitely help tons of bands get their live-gigs uploaded to Youtube. Can’t wait to get one myself. Read more about it in the great music/tech blog Create Digital Music.
Woof!
The $250 price point is nearly unbelievable. Many of the portable digital audio recorders live at well above that price point.
yea. I was really thinking the same thing. my zoom h2 cost me $200 , et the q3 supposedly has the same microphones than the H4…
It depends on the quality. I still love my Edirol R09 recorder and it would take some significant advantage to get me to switch.
(But I will admit it cost a lot more than $200 at the time.)
The Edirol R09 looks very nice. Had never come across it.
