    it looks like a sound recorder that happens to capture some moving pictures as well. $250 is a lot to spend on something that has no redeeming value other than to blind kids. great, now i feel bad for saying blind kids.

    i've had a Zoom H2 audio recorder for a year and a half and i love it. i use it to record live music and use my canon g9 to record video at the same concerts.

    the q3 has roughly the same audio recording capabilities as the H2, plus all the video capability that i need.

    will definitely look at picking one of these up when they ship!

    Could someone educate me a little on the physics of electricity? My understanding is limited, but even if the microphone had been grounded, wouldn't he still have been electrocuted by providing another ground path for the current with all those wet conditions?

    @closhedbb:
    It shouldn't have. Electricity will take the path of least resistance, which should be the proper ground. His body would have provided much more resistance, so he wouldn't have been shocked. It's the same reason why birds on a power line aren't zapped-- the wire underneath their feet provide less resistance than their bodies.

    @MarvinDog: You were doing great right up until the birds.


    Basically, the birds don't get zapped because they aren't completing a circuit. Ok, technically they could, if you count wire --> birds --> dry air --> ground as a circuit with almost infinite resistance.


    @closhedbb: See above. Also, many of those power lines don't have any insulation on them. That's the reason for the insulators (the funny stacked doughnut-looking things) at the points where they hang from the pylons.

    I don't know... I've been shocked pretty good by ungrounded mics before (coincidentally while singing backup). Those things get pretty nasty when someone decides to (mis)use one of those 3-to-2 prong adapters and remove the grounding altogether.

    @dkeen: Back in my college days at NYU, the four hot girls across the way thought that you could just rip out the grounding prong to use a 2-prong adapter. They also thought you could plug any number of things into one outlet without any problem.


    Fortunately, more students at Hayden Hall died of blunt force trauma (from jumping out windows) than fire.

    I kept thinking something like that was going to happen on American Idol last night, as the judges did everything they could to eliminate the muppet. (not that I watch American Idol or anything).
