Default Review of the Zoom 3Q-HD-video recorder

I just got one of these and am really impressed. I did this video pretty much right out of the box, plug and play. It is really simple to use and download to your computer. The dual on-board mics do a great job of sound, as this is pretty much the same audio set up of the other Zoom recording devices. No way to balance the mics, so if you want more voice, raise the unit closer to you mouth, more guitar, then lower. Thought I'd post a youtube upload as an example

There are more (and better...lol) examples of the Zoom 3Q-HD on youtube. I'm pretty amazed at the HD video and the sound quality. Price is VERY competitive when compared to the Canons and Sony HD units, AND much easier to use. I recommend this one!
