I use it for two months and it's a great recorder, good ergonomics and quality of the converter to the height of the studio equipment!

NIMH on internal autonomy is not very long but just in a lot of cases but I prefer it and have the sound quality! The other defect is that it is a cumbersome but can not super heavy.

The internal preamp is bad? Here are two excerpts that I do with old Sennheiser and more with a converter P48 to T12 which does not help her at:

So not a big sensitivity preamp though they were there can almost half of the race but no breath either and made a nice dynamics!

Although sour with a preamp or a mixer with a good range, it improves things, but it cost the price of FR2 at least

It seems fragile but it is only an appearance (except the display which can scratch a force).

I wanted a Sony PCM-D50 but in some cases, I fear that it hours is not easy to use (eg filming or sound recording, the FR2, the preamp has a separate level of level of converter input). Yes, I would do without hesitation that choice!

The headphone output is actually not unusual for a breath she can but it works anyway and with a mixer, it's not needed.
