General

Zoom's Q8 doesn't only shoot high-definition video, its audio is also of an outstanding quality. As such, the recorder is ideal for capturing concerts. The Q8 records video at a resolution of 2304 x 1296 pixels, while a digital zoom function and a 160-degree wide-angle lens ensure an impressive range. Featuring a detachable capsule microphone and two XLR/TRS inputs, it offers plenty of audio options too.

The Zoom Q8: Versatile and User-Friendly

A large touch LCD display allows you to quickly and easily adjust the camera settings of the AV recorder. The Q8 has a headphone output so you can monitor your audio, and two XLR/TRS inputs to accommodate external microphones. A built-in speaker allows for effortless playback, and the camera can be connected to your computer by means of its USB output.

A Multi-Purpose AV Recorder

Thanks to its X/Y configuration, the MSH-6 MS capsule microphone that is included with the Zoom recorder is able to capture a wide stereo image. Use an SD, SDHC or SDXC card to store your recordings. The audio/video recorder is fitted with a lithium-ion battery that can be recharged via an AC adapter or USB. A full battery allows you to record for over two hours. With the Q8, Zoom has issued a versatile camera that can be used for a wide range of applications.

Zoom Q8 Audio Video Recorder
Wrote the following about Zoom Q8 Audio Video Recorder
Ik ben heel tevreden van de camera! Het geluid is echt top, dus naast de microfoon die erbij zit, heb je eigenlijk geen andere nodig. Het enige wat ik minder vind, is het beeld. De kwaliteit is niet super en zoals ik al wist voor ik bestelde, heeft het een fisheye lens. Daar ben ik persoonlijk minder fan van. Als je genoeg inzoomt, valt het op zich wel mee.

Ik heb hem echt voor het geluid gekocht en je kan ook audio opnemen. Voor het geluid is deze écht een aanrader!

Ik vond het meteen wel een tegenvaller dat er geen oplaad-adapter bij zit, en de optie met laden via USB kabel is niet altijd handig en duurt erg lang. Verder oogt de camera nogal kwetsbaar, en beeldkwaliteit valt tegen.

Geluid en beeld zijn voor mee meer dan voldoende. Zeker als je hem gebruikt op een driepoot.

Ik vind het wel een gemis dat er geen afstandsbediening bij zit, als was het alleen maar voor het starten en stoppen van de opname. Desnoods via een draadje. Er heen lopen is lastig.

Geluidopnamen zeer goed. Video iets minder, maar zeer bruikbare kwaliteit. Je kunt er prima opnamen mee maken voor eigen gebruik of YouTube. Als je maximaal uitzoomt dan krijg je dat Fish-eye effect. Maar meestal zoom je toch in tenzij je een heel breed opnameveld wil.

Goede prijs/kwaliteit. Vooral de microfoons doen hun werk prima.

Vindt de camera enigszins tegenvallen. Geen stabilsator dus schokkende beelden als je geen standaard gebruikt. Zoom onvoldoende. Geluidsopname is goed.

Geluidskwaliteit top! Met de ingebouwde microfoons en de 2 XLR/jack ingangen kun je prima audio opnemen/mixen. Beeld is ok voor HD beeldformaten, maar zoom bereik echt te weinig. Zowieso de firmware updaten naar 2.0 voor meer lichtinstellingen

Fantastisch apparaatje. Neem je video op en zet het meteen online. Goede geluidskwaliteit, met 2 inputs voor een mic en instrument. Enige nadeel is de fish eye lens, ik zoom in zodat je daar niets van ziet.

Handzaam apparaat met uitgebreide functies betreft audio ingangen en plugins (limiter, compressie, etc). Beeldkwaliteit is echter zeer matig, mijn Sony telefoon maakt mooiere beeldopnamen.

Een fantastisch klein apparaatje waarmee prima beelden worden gemaakt. Groot voordeel zijn de XLR ingangen zodat externe profi microfoons aangesloten kunnen worden. De lens is ok, maar met de HD aspiraties de neiging tot fisheye-effect. Met zoominstellingen is dat goed tegen te gaan. Moet je wel even op de downloadpagina van Zoom de nieuwe software 2.0 downloaden.

Mét de nieuwe software beschik je ook over een rijke serie voorgeprogrammeerde scenes waarmee het filmen zowel overdag als 's nachts altijd ok is. Verder is de Q8 erg gebruikersvriendelijk met handig touchscreen. Kortom, goede koop en aanrader.
