=== Video+audio recorders ===
Recorders that record video typically also record audio as well. However, the audio does not always meet the criteria of minimal needs and recommended best practices for language documentation (uncompressed WAV format, 44.1khz, 16-bit), and is often not useful for linguistic purposes such as phonetic analysis. Many video devices record instead to a compressed audio format such as AAC or MP3, which is combined with the video stream in a wrapper of [[Digital video#Storage formats|various kinds]]. Exceptions to this general rule are the following Video+Audio recorders:
The [https://www.zoom.co.jp/products/field-video-recording/video-recording Zoom] series, particularly the [https://www.zoom-na.com/products/field-video-recording/video-recording/zoom-q8/specs Q8], [https://www.zoom.co.jp/products/field-video-recording/video-recording/q4n-handy-video-recorder#specs Q4n], and [https://www.zoom.co.jp/products/field-video-recording/video-recording/q2n-handy-video-recorder#specs Q2n], which record to multiple audio formats, including WAV (44.1/48/96khz, 16/24-bit).
