This compares the quality of Zooms new Q8n-4K camera (which is not good) to the previous Q8 video camera from Zoom. The video quality in lower light settings (where music is typically performed) is mega grainy and unusable. Wasted 25 dollars return shipping to the seller because it wasn&technically defective. The previous Q8 model is much better and cheaper. I&sticking with the two Q8s I have for recording good quality video. The new Q8n-4K needs direct sunlight too look even average. In my opinion the only step forward for the Q8n-4K is a lessening of the fisheye effect (although not totally eliminated). Sound quality is about the same. Features that took a step backward are video quality (very grainy almost unusable in anything less that sunlight), screen is smaller and no longer angles or flips, touchscreen function completely removed and the TRS inputs that were within the XLRs on the Q8 are not present on the Q8n-4K. Only the XLRs remain. As far as the ability to control remotely you must buy an additional blue tooth receiver from Zoom for $39.99 and its out of stock everywhere. So, it¬ "out of the box" functional to be controlled remotely. My final verdict is "do not buy the Zoom Q8n-4K".
