Used since May 2010 to replace a stolen H2.
This is clearly the best gear.

The H4 H4 seemed like the best value for this pric kind of tool. I know a little like Tascam and Sony and is kif-kif it seems.

I love its versatility and price.
2 2 (mics + mic / line) is great for capturing a live band eg.
And USB interface mode is ultra convenient when you are walking with your laptop, you can maquetter comfortable.

I do not like the fragility of the buttons above the wheel "menu" to be the weakest link so it is biased and so it did not look solid.
Microphones also naked not look very sturdy.

Converters cashing although their saturation is sometimes nice.

I would do this choice if real glue Zoom buttons above. But for 250euro new (at the time) it's pretty amazing what you pay for.
