Q8 : Very good camera with OK video

6 years ago

This is an excellent option for musicians, drummer in my case, that want a good solution for their live recording needs.

The sound quality is top of the line, specially in very noisy scenarios. I can mount it next to the hi-hat! and still does not clip, provided you set up correctly.

The video is OK, nothing spectacular, but is good and the lens is pretty wide.

The battery life is around 4 hours of continuous recording and the X-Y microphones are just a beauty.

Its small and super portable.

Little bit pricey but I think it pays for itself in terms of usability, portability and quality.

Recommend it fully with all my heart.
