Zoom Q3HD Handy Video Recorder: Review and comparison with iPhone 4 video | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog - 0 views

imt122 group assignment Samson Q3HD review

shared by Ruth M. on 01 Oct 12 - No Cached
  • Recording video with the Zoom Q3HD is quite easy. Press one button on the side of the device to power it up, press the large red record button on the back of the device once to start recording, then press the record button again to stop. Playback is equally easy, with a play button conveniently located just below the display.
  • Update: Several commenters noted that the audio is out of sync with the video on both Zoom videos. This is not the case with the original files, and appears to be a problem with the way that YouTube handled the uploaded file. Zoom is looking into the situation and I will update again as soon as I hear more.
  • In the end, it's all going to boil down to two things: whether you have the money to buy a secondary video camera such as the Zoom Q3HD and if you truly need the extra video quality of this camera for your needs

  • For other Mac users, the Zoom Q3HD might be an excellent way to capture HD video at a relatively bargain price of $300 compared to higher end dedicated camcorders.

group assignment imt122 Samson Q3HD

shared by Ruth M. on 01 Oct 12 - No Cached
  • The Zoom Q3HD gets the balance right, shooting HD video while capturing audio with two terrific microphones
  • Video quality is what you’d expect from a pocket cam, which means it’s adequate
  • We just wish the documentation did a better job of explaining all these choices.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • A built-in USB plug transfers recordings to your Mac with or without the pointless software bundle.
  • you can’t use an attached Q3HD as a live mic or camera for your Mac
  • The weak battery life—we got fewer than 90 minutes of recording time per set of AAs—will make you fearful that they’ll run out in the middle of a shot. And the plastic device even includes a plastic tripod adapter; that’s cheap.
  • . The Q3HD pairs decent image quality with uncommonly good audio. It’s easy to overlook this pocket shooter’s shortcomings once you hear the difference. Product  Q3HD Handy Video Recorder

  • he $299 Q3HD Hand Video Recorder's video quality doesn't measure up to its competitors,
  • geared toward the music industry
  • , isn't quite as strong the more affordable, Editor's Choice Sony Bloggie Touch 8GB ($199.99, 4 stars)
  • Subjects must be at least 3.3 feet away for the camera to capture them sharply
  • Video is captured as .MOV files
  • Samson incorporates a ton of connectivity options into the Q3H
  • Unfortunately, the Q3HD cannot recharge over USB, unlike most camcorders. Instead, it is powered by AA batteries, which is a rarity in this field—most include a rechargeable lithium ion battery, which is preferable.
  • If you don't have high-definition video editing software, the camcorder includes a simple editor called HandyShare
  • The lack of built-in storage on the Q3HD is a huge oversigh
  • The $299 Zoom Q3HD Handy Video Camcorder delivers high quality video, unmatched audio, and loads of audio recording options

  • As individuals and members of organizations, we’re already choosing between desktop applications and cloud applications when it comes to e-mail, RSS, file storage, word processing and other simple applications. Sooner or later we’ll have to make this choice for mission-critical enterprise applications too
  • Libraries may soon be building and managing their own data centers.

Academic Search Engine Spam and Google Scholar's Resilience Against it - 0 views

IMT122 Reading List Supplementary Reading Week 04 Google Search Topic 04 IMT122 How Google works

shared by Joanne S on 11 Sep 12 - No Cached
  • Web-based academic search engines such as CiteSeer(X), Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search and SciPlore have introduced a new era of search for academic articles.
  • With classic digital libraries, researchers have no influence on getting their articles indexed. They either have published in a publication indexed by a digital library, and then their article is available in that digital library, or they have not
  • citation counts obtained from Google Scholar are sometimes used to evaluate the impact of articles and their authors.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • ‘Academic Search Engine Optimization’ (ASEO)
  • Citation counts are commonly used to evaluate the impact and performance of researchers and their articles.
  • Nowadays, citation counts from Web-based academic search engines are also used for impact evaluations.
  • Most academic search engines offer features such as showing articles cited by an article, or showing related articles to a given article. Citation spam could bring more articles from manipulating researchers onto more of these lists.
  • It is apparent that a citation from a PowerPoint presentation or thesis proposal has less value than a citation in a peer reviewed academic article. However, Google does not distinguish on its website between these different origins of citations[8].
  • Google Scholar indexes Wikipedia articles when the article is available as PDF on a third party website.
  • That means, again, that not all citations on Google Scholar are what we call ‘full-value’ citations.
  • As long as Google Scholar applies only very rudimentary or no mechanisms to detect and prevent spam, citation counts should be used with care to evaluate articles’ and researchers’ impact.
  • However, Google Scholar is a Web-based academic search engine and as with all Web-based search engines, the linked content should not be trusted blindly.
