IronFilm Report post #2 Posted April 10 A Zoom rep is here in this video talking about the Zoom F8n, a "sneak peak": The recorder is still a few months away ("July"), and details are not yet concrete (price is looking to be twelve hundred dollars). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Feeley Report post #5 Posted April 12 That's Samuel in the video in post #2. He sometimes posts here as ZoomOfficial. Today's the last day of the NAB trade show, but perhaps in a few days before he can fill us in a bit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
efksound Report post #6 Posted April 12 I'd bet anything that, the supposed F8n inside the display cabinet , (that probably no one was allowed to touch during NAB) is just a normal F8 with some different firmware loaded, and displaying some fancy new screen :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donald Kauffman Report post #7 Posted Wednesday at 02:03 PM Are they seriously going to release an updated model that still has consumer level line outs?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronFilm Report post #8 Posted Thursday at 10:36 AM Where did they say they won't? There are more things they'll change than just what they've said so far. Maybe they'll change that. (fingers crossed) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacob Gustavsson Report post #9 Posted Thursday at 05:39 PM I hope the iOS app gets updated too. I wrote Zoom an email a few weeks ago with some thoughts: Quote Hey there! I've been using your Zoom F8 app for various film productions, and have some thoughts and questions. I really like being able to remote control the F8 through the app. But it's very annoying having to disconnect the app to be able to edit scene and take of a file, which also means having to type it in via the rotary controller on the F8 instead of the virtual keyboard in the app. It can break the flow of production. Some features I would like to see in the app: 1 - Editing scene and take of a file in the finder. 2 - Shortcut to recording or getting to the home screen from the finder/menu. 3 - Confirmation on the app (not just on the F8) when pressing false take/increment scene. 4 - Track naming and display on the mixer. 5 - Track coloring on the mixer (for matching color coded receivers/actors). Will there be any updates to the app? And will there be an android version? Good wishes -Jacob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did a shoot a few weeks back with the F8, and the app is cool indeed, just felt like they could do so so much more with it! (such as why not playback over bluetooth?!)
