ZOOM needs to understand that the bar starts at low light capability with any new camera. We can pay a little more, but have no use for something like this in bar, club or any other low light venue. Our eyes can no longer tolerate grainy noisy footage. That being said, this is perfect for any daylight outdoor sessions.

SOLD!!!!!! I didnt even go past 5mins in this video and I already KNOW I want and NEED this! I was going to get a Canon or Sony something but NOPE!! From drum covers, to vloging, to gathering sounds from outside. This is SUPER up my alley!!! I love this company!

Best video demo'ing a product w/this type of quality has me completely sold. Wow. The XLR ports sold me. I do think it's priced too high (by $50), but other than that, I'm sold that this is the camera to have hands down. Extremely feature-rich. I've honestly never sat through any product vid's like this without swiping to look at something else with a few seconds. Quality, no fluff presentation, right to the point. Impressed. I'm liking & subscribing at 4:47am CST. Thank you.

Wow, I’m amazed that it recorded all of the different instruments in that orchestra so well! You can hear them all very clearly!

finally I found a review of a product which I have looked for a long time, thank you very much!

Been looking forward to this camera coming out for months. SO excited for this. Also great video, super thorough.

Thank you for the perfect presentation!!!

I actually managed to get my hands on one of these a week ago, and it is phenomenal so far. I had tried the Q8, and its video quality was terrible. While the video quality of the Q8n-4K suffers a bit in low-light, it is a substantial improvement. I also wish the XLR inputs were combo-jacks instead, since it would make my synth gear easier to hook up. Instead I hook it up directly to my mixer, and use the mic capsule to talk about whatever. It is fantastic!

Do you know if it's better in low light than the Q2N 4K? I have one of those, and am not happy with performance in low light environments (like jazz clubs).

Sooo cool!!! Blows my mind this quality!

Excellent video on the Zoom Q8n-4K. The only webcam I've ever had is a $30 webcam someone gave to me. I've been researching the Zoom Q8, and I was hoping for an updated version, and my wish came true. The resolution on the Q8n is much improved, and the Zoom Q8n-4K is the webcam I will buy. Perfect for me as I'm in the never ending process of improving my fingerstyle, and music ability with my acoustic guitars. Recording myself on guitar is something I've never done, but I've heard doing that is a great learning tool. I'm impressed with the Zoom Q8n-4K, and I think and know Zoom listened to the comments online about the Zoom Q8. So they improved the webcam.

Great video, thanks for the review! I have two Q8 and now I will buy the Q8-N.

Thanks for the review. I really like this video recorder. I think the selling point is the great audio quality. Some people may be complaining about the quality of the video but I take it as a great 1080 video quality although is 4k. As a Keyboard player I wander if I can take the sound from an audio interface into the video recorder? Once again thanks for the awesome review.

A really helpful look at this camera. Many thanks. Can I ask about exposure? Are there just three brightness levels or is that just for the display and the camera does it automatically? It obviously copes with wide ranges of brightness, from that dark concert hall to outdoors, but I’m wondering how it does it. I’m about to review it myself and am very curious how it does it.

Very well done. Thank you!

As a sound engineer who is now pivoting into setting up streaming concerts for clients, I cannot think of a better product! Also - the image quality itself is really excellent for the price as well! I've also been a pro cameraman, and using DSLR while getting a shallow dept of field for a blurry background might sounds cool, but it's *not* something you want when broadcasting (or streaming, which is the same thing, only to the internet instead of a satellite network and everyone can do it). Actually, if you compare the video quality to your average broadcast concert you can see on TV, you'd see that they are *scarily* similar :O

Agree that it's great, but if I want to use it for green screen video, I have to get very close with the camera - the angle of view is wide as if it were an action camera and it can only be changed at the cost of a loss of resolution quality. And everything that is not completely in 4K, KZread simply converts to FullHD.

Thanks !! I’m going to buy one now. Nice camera, and nice video of you explaining how to use this camera. Thanks !!

Thanks for showcasing this device in various environments. The ensemble recording shows how important is the room acoustics; you can then use almost any good mic. That windscreen was not enough for wind suppression 🙀 And one thing spoils a bit the quality of your video: there is too much distortion in your voice recording.

Pretty cool!! People don't realize that audio is more important than video...you can have GORGEOUS video but, if people can't hear what you're saying, it won't matter! Just looked the thing up and, 400 bucks? That's it? That's a really useful, really cool piece of gear for only 400 bucks. I thought it'd be WAY more!

Very good review ;)

As I have used the Zoom Q2n-4K, and yes it’s a fine unit for what it is cost wise. And this unit does seem to be superior in a number of ways, however, it would be a good sell if you could zoom in manual rather than step through levels of zoom settings. The audio improvements are great. Hope this one’s better on the power as the Q2n eats power like it’s there is no tomorrow. But I’ll have to research this more for the purchase. Granted streaming looks ok. But I thought I notice some lag.

Brilliant video. I think its awesome u did a drum video (since this is what I'm looking out for). My question is. For the audio of any drum cover I'd record, would u recommend I use the audio of the Zoom Q8n 4k or use an addtional Yamaha EAD 10 or drum triggers through a module or a combination of th3 Yamaha EAD10 & a set of drum triggers . I'm thinking along the lines of recording drum tracks for covers and for songs in the making. Waiting to hear from u. Cheers

Thanks for the Zoom Q8n-4K review. Wondering if it will be like Zoom Q2n-4K, great with audio... not so great with video, seems it had the same or similar lens, but not sure if you compare them side by side to see if there are improvements on the video side, specially as a webcam?

Gracias por esta review tan completa. Entonces por las entradas xlr puedo conectar directamente mi multiefectos de guitarra para que grabe directamente el sonido de éste? Es una line 6 Helix...un saludo

I am going to be getting this camera for the paranormal. can't wait for the ambiosonic attachment.......great video, thank you!!!!!

The Power Bank idea is brilliant. Last night my battery died after 1 1/4 hours of recording. It took hours to recharge in-camera. As a result, I just ordered a spare battery, external battery charger plus AC power adapter. With the power banks I completely forgot about, I have all bases covered. The angle of the built-in mics is pretty drastic. For anyone recording a single instrument using just those mics, you'll want to get the Q8n-4K as close as possible.

Thanks for the review I like the camara and will definitely buy one in the near future

Thank for the video. Can i use Zoom Q8n-4K Handy Video Recorder for live streaming ? does it have clean HDMI? Does it overheat or what's the temperature ?

Cool camera

This was a fantastic video! Do you have a video explaining how I can use this camera with my Yamaha Cvp- 809 keyboard? Thanks!

Everything looked really good except the webcam was very grainy and the color was more saturated than the video captured to microSD. This would most likely be due to low light and ISO being bumped up, however some of the other video seemed to be in low light too, so I almost think it is compression on the HDMI out or an issue with the QuickTime settings. Having such a large depth of field works well for instances where you need everything in focus, but not as good when you need to bring just a single subject into focus while making the background blurred out like when vlogging. This could also be a very good interview camera especially for remote live streams. I wonder how well it would handle two SM7Bs in that situation and if there would be any overheating issues. I'm intrigued especially since it only costs a little more than a H4n.

Thanks a lot for this review ! May i ask you what gear did you use to create this video ? Is it a q8n4k ?

Greta video, thanks. I am a Drummer: have you tried using the 2 XLR mic inputs for a kick and snare mic and the others as over head mics?
