Do not get this camera if you are looking for the best image quality. That is simply not its purpose. The other reviewers who complain about the lens and the video quality do not seem to understand this equipment's place in their tool arsenal. Think of the Zoom Q8 as a four track recorder with a camera. The built in mics are great, and it has two XLR combo jacks in addition. It even has phantom power for external condenser mics. The audio is superb. The ultra wide lens may not give you the prettiest scene compositions, but it lets you place the built in XY mics *very* close to your sound sources and keep the gain down. This allows you to record the parts you want without background noise interfering. You will definitely need a windscreen. The condenser mics are quite sensitive wind noises. If this broke, I'd get another. I know of no other camera in the price range with such good audio.Read full review
