ZoomF3, Grey

Q: Are the preamps comparable to the f6/f8?

Seems like it. I had the F6, returned it for the Tascam X8, mostly for price, but then when the F3 was announced, I pre-ordered it and returned the X8, which I wanted to love, but didn't. I'm finding the sound quality to be the same as the F6. My first job using the F3 went flawlessly. One mic, solo shooting, no opportunity to adjust anything during the event, five speakers back-to-back. Easily adjusted for very different speaker volumes in post.

Q: If I use the line out to a camera will it output the 32 bit floating audio?

NO - From what I tested - I was able to set the levels of the output to the camera when I change the size of the waveform of the F3. However, the audio that was recorded into my camera was standard 24bit audio as if I used a mic directly to the camera. This makes sense to me because the audio coming out of the F3 is analog at that point which doesn't carry over the 32-bit technology. The wave file recorded to the SD card inside the F3 is where the digital 32-bit float format is created/captured.

Q: When plugged into your laptop or tablet by usb-c, can the zoom f3 be powered as well by the usb-c or must it always run on batteries?

It does not need batteries to run when plugged in via USB. This was a big point for me as I'm using it on a camera rig so didn't want the extra weight of batteries.
