First time I saw it, I thought the Q4 was a lame practical joke, and that there would be a punch line somewhere in the text. Not. So, in the search for practical advice, the sound will probably be good, but has anybody seen any video from the camera?

I surrendered to the urge to buy the Q4 just before we left for an extended stay in Hawai`i. After we got here I shot some comparo type clips.

I got a lot of use shooting "look at me (or my friends) play guitar" videos with my Q3HD. I'll probably put my Q4 on Ebay when I get home and round up all the packaging and accessories.

I guess the GH3 has pretty much spoiled me for image quality. I'm pretty comfortable syncing audio in post but I've even gotten pretty decent audio out of the Lumix by feeding the mic input from the right sources.

Well, back in the day I had a 'fro that was pretty close to Jimi Hendrix but I never went for the upswept look. The wind sock actually does a pretty nice job, though.
