(WIRED http://xrl.us/ZoomQ3 ) The rise of tiny, easy-to-use
video cameras like the Flip has been a boon, but the
sparkly hi-def video is accompanied by lo-fi audio that
would make any self-respecting sound editor scream. Shoot
in a slight breeze, and the resulting footage howls like a
sandstorm. Not so with the Zoom Q3 videocam (Amazon.com:
http://xrl.us/ZoomQ3A ). It's the first of its kind with
serious audio cred: Maker Samson specializes in music-
recording gear. The Q3 captures 640 x 480 video, but its
crowning achievement (excuse the pun) is the top-mounted
mic. Swiped from the company's pro-grade voice recorder,
the condenser captures sonic waves in stereo and stores
them on an SD card as MP3 or linear PCM files. Haters may
mock you for having what looks like an air filter atop your
rig, but you'll have the last laugh—and it'll be loud and
clear.
