Value For Money : Excellent
I use Zoom for 2 months.

I am Students in ethnomusicology, I use it mainly for field recordings, but also to record reptitions or concerts of my group.

So in the recording mode Stereo gnral I need, and for that he trs fine. The four track mode is optional for me, I have also not yet learned to use it well. With regard to the Stereo mode, it is very easy to use.

Until I made my first on K7 records and then MD and I must say that with Zoom was a big step in the ease of use! The USB output makes me normment life, and by the way, I bought the zoom also numriser all my K7 and my MD (converters are better than on the line between 'computer). Compared to the MD is much better, if only for the ease of transfer, but also in sound. The cassette compartment, you lose the warmth of analog, but you lose the breath as well, so even if I am a bit nostalgic for my tape recorder, I do not poses the question of what more I will use recorder.

Some highlights:
- Lightweight, convenient, portable.
- Long battery life with 2 batteries LR6
- Choice of recording format useful.
- Couple of studio microphones, your exact trs is really good, the pickups Intgr however, are not bad either.

Some point ngatifs:
- No potter rgler for the recording level, you have to go through the menu and use the buttons.
- Design and plastic look bad. When I leave the gear everybody wonder what it is, it really looks like a UFO.
- Support USB flash drive not very practical: still requires a computer with you to TRANSFR sounds (recordings lasts about 2 h to wav, depending on quality chosen).
- I think the pickups Intgr give me too much bass recording (although it is better to have too much than not enough, since it is always possible to play on frquences post ).

Report qualitprix excellent! With the 320 euros was possible to make recordings of any quality is acceptable.

I do not regret purchasing this hardware and I highly recommend it.
