Default Zoom Q3 (not the 'HD' model)

Anyone have one of these: A small video recorder with supposedly excellent audio and OK video? They're selling for $200 (soon to be discontinued?).

Anyway, seems to be a good relatively inexpensive choice for for capturing rehearsals, gigs, and maybe even doing YouTube submissions.

Does anyone have experience with these units? Thanks!

I had one but I gave it away. The audio quality is pretty good, but the video is between bad and horrible. If you have plenty of light, it does make a pretty good YouTube recorder though.

Recognizing that differences exist between the HD an original (I have the HD), I have been very underwhelmed with the video quality compared to my older Flip. And, frankly, the audio isn't as good as I expected it would be given how great it is on the H4n. My assumption would be that the Q3 wouldn't be an improvement over the newer model.
