Compared with the fifth-generation iPod Nano (which now includes a video camera), the
Zoom Q3 doesn't have a whole lot going for it. The Q3 is more than twice as large, costs $100 more, and captures video at identical resolution. The only things working in the Q3's favor are the built-in USB cable and, of course, the vastly superior sound quality. Put another way, if sound quality doesn't matter all that much to you, there are better, less expensive camcorders than the Zoom Q3.
