Zoom Q2N - Handy Video Recorder for Musicians

Zoom announced today the Q2N Hands Video recorder specially for musicians. The interface and design is well done and has a 720p and 1080p video quality. Additional to the video quality, you can record your sessions also with higher quality than with a traditional camera. I hope that the promises from Zoom are right that musicians can now film with a good quality your sessions and concerts. I see this as good solution for filming and recording audio because you can turn off the camera and use only the build in micro. I try to get one to test it for you. Not sure but maybe in future a review about this device.
