The Q2HD from Zoom , however , is designed to record ( and stream ) in full HD regardless of the context .
The Q2HD is a laurel wreath - sized camcorder packed with every feature a citizen diarist could need . It captures up to 40 minute of picture in 1080p H.264 on the included 2 GB Mount Rushmore State card . It also boasts onboard 24 - bit/96 kHz Mid - Side stereophony recording , which combines a unidirectional front mic and a bi - guiding side mic . By adjusting the level of the side mic , you could essentially tune the distich to pick up from a 30 - degree to 150 - degree belt of stereophonic field of view . This results in clear , more focused audio recording . What ’s more , when the Q2HD is tether to a laptop ( Mac and Windows likewise ) , it can circularize live using many of the pop streaming curriculum uncommitted like Skype , UStream , or Flash Media Live .
The Q2HD will retail for $ 200 when it is turn later this month . But if you ca n’t waitress that long , do n’t despair , we ’ll have a hands - on review next week . [ ZoomviaSamson Tech ]
