Re: zoom Q3
I have the h2 as well and like what it does (and how it does it) quite
a lot.
The cheaply made plastic housing has been a bother though.
The tripod mount fitting has busted out twice - metal threaded ring
broke out of the flimsy plastic around it.
Not totally impressed with that.
It' epoxied back together okay though and I hope to get a Flip camera
sometime soon.
All I can say is watch out for the flimsy plastic housings.
Best,
T®K
