Is the recording side black as well?

Yes, the recording side is an all-black side. The labeling side has a black outer edge with five different color centers to write on.

Yes it is. Optical zoom is amazing but when u zoom in or out while recording there will be no audio ..

I don't think there is a blue light on the XLR version of this mic. Are you sure you are not talking about the USB version?

According to the timer on the screen, it appears to be recording even when the room is dark and there is no one there but I'm not sure because I usually stop looking at the recording when the timer is still going and there is nothing but darkness on thescreen.

Yes it records in Color if there is enough light, when light is low it records in black & white....

I've never encountered your situation, but it seems to me that any signals that enter the recorder should record ... if you have a cable that goes from HDMI to RCA. Good luck!

Yes, but it's not noticeable, really, at least not distracting. It's red, at first, to indicate recording, then it fades to a muted blue color. I bought this to record meetings where people lie through their teeth. They have no idea I'm recording and are dumb enough to lie again, even after I used the first recording against them. I can keep it in my hand, pocket, or purse and it still records well. I have used it to record 10 hours, so far, and haven't charged it yet, so I can't speak to the 150 hours claim, but I don't know when I'd ever need it that long. I like plugging in to my computer to download the files right away, just in case. It's worth buying this fun little gizmo. :) Yes, but it's not noticeable, really, at least not distracting.

Nope. The recording is dependont on the computer. The device only supplys the decripted video.

I don't think in records audio, but I have only used the Pictures mode not the video mode as it eats up too much battery life.

Hi again. Just tried mine out while recording a video and zooming in and out just as you asked, and it's silent. Sorry -- it does seem that you've got a lemon.

The one I got was 720x480 only, and it arrived broken. Recording time is zero! Believe the negative reviews.

T3i specs say it records in stereo as well as the mic. Don't know why you would only get the left side working. Could be a cable issue or camera issue. Sry I can't be more help. I use a 7d so its never given me any issues.

It really is an issue. It takes several seconds to determine distance and volume level before starting the recording. You never really know when the recording is kicking in.

Not at all. This is all digital. Just turn it on, and start recording. Best little digital recorder I have ever had.

There is a small recording light on the side (not on the front) when it is recording. It can be covered with a small piece of tape.

No...Like any other machine, you have to hit play or record with it in the correct mode. The instruction book is very clear.
