- How long have you use it?

About a year to record live performances, dialogues and scenes for short films, sometimes simple musical configurations (eg guitar / vocals) etc ...
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

It is easy to implement, and what had seduced me most is the possiblit for this tariff to connect two external microphones with 48V phantom. I only use very little internal microphones, I prefer to choose my directivity and my placement. But that is where the problem lies for me, I use it almost exclusively with small membranes need supply 48, and this time was the breath! The breath is when even one of the worst defects that can be found on a recorder ... Once the H4 branch of the industry is much better, but exterior filming example is impossible.

On the other hand pramps are low.

The windshield serves almost nothing to me, I'll make one true because I can not save the ds that has breath a little.

Functions such effects, sim microphones etc ... I never use it, I seek rather the cleanest and be neutral grip. So I can not judge.
- How do you report qualitprix?

Interesting from the perspective of having an audio memo pad, a trslger system to make reprages. I envisaged to overcome his flaws not to use it as a digital recorder that adding a small mixer with phantom but I prefer not to start this kind of Expense to me lead dpenser the price of a better recorder! (Although ART has released a dual preamp with phantom, reduces size and runs on 9v, given the price I'll test their products sometimes surprised me ...)
- With the exprience, you do again this choice ...?

I do not think, I would expect to have more to offer me a Sioux recorder with preamps / converters / power supply circuit of the best quality microphones, or so between digital recorder with which j 'go to a portable mixer of quality.
