“Excellent Audio. Did several recordings straight out of my mixer into the XLR/TRS inputs of the camera. Every bit as good as any Zoom Audio product. Video is secondary, but with good lighting and not using the digital zoom, the quality is very good”.

“So far so good. A new purchase so again. we will see how it stands up to the test of time. This is not a plug and play. read the directions. Records well and portable. My issue is the file formats. Nothing on my PC cares for it. Windows Movie maker and DVD maker are ok with the formats. But if you want to use a True Pro video editing app like I do (Adobe Fan) then you need to spend money on getting a supporting one like Quick time Pro that I don’t have. Adobe not compatible Had a lot of trouble learning how to convert the videos to even burn a DVD with windows let alone upload any quality to the web. It’s not the product, it’s the supporting applications”.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing audio
Recorder|Verified Purchase
“I am blown away by the quality of the audio on this thing. I’m not too tech savvy and it’s fairly easy to use. But I highly recommend reading the instructions all the way through. The only thing I don’t like is that you can’t use it while it’s plugged in. I’d imagine it’s a safety feature due to the possibility of the lithium battery overheating/catching fire so I didn’t mark it down for that.
I’ve only used it twice with the external mics but plan on plugging directly into the camera jacks to see if there’s any difference in quality. Very happy with this camera”.
