Purchased early-September 2008; good use since (at least 4 hours of taking the week)
"I used the H4 for 8 months before.
- Excellent price / quality ratio ... In this price range, is the first time I can say that the device fits perfectly with the use I want to make (electronic components, radio art, sound taken to the corporate).

The "+":
- The converters are so much fun!
- The mics are very acceptable for many applications
- Finally a real wheel preamps gain for a small device!
- The windshield (on request, a bit pricey, but good) ... the windshield, then, is quite the mini-Rycote Windjammers of
- Well, of course, the 24bit-96kHz
-Can connect a remote control. Convenient to control the PCM-D50 with a field mixer (gall mixer) connected in mini-jack. Can thus be used with the mics and quality 48v, my faith is very good (I know, with a preamp Denecke which would return to the digital PCM, it would be better ...)
- Oh ... there is also the possibility of "splitter" (cut "into two files, reading as during recording ... really pratiquepour separate distinct periods in a sound recording)

The "-":
- No XLR input, for sure, but it really is cheaper and more portable than a Sound Devices, right?
- Being able to use the SD memory as it would have been nice from the guys at Sony ...
