I use it for 6 months after comparing with different models such as the version before (zoomH2 has seen mind blowing the important preamp, if you do catch the sounds of nature).

They have been corrected a little on the H4N, but it's still not the top (compared to the couple microphones recorder. For cons with a couple added the 2 xlr, it sounds more like it!)

The quality / price is good and I think again this election, it is very convenient if you need to record a sound on the fly.

After that depend on the user, if it is to catch sound at concerts or register to play at home, no problem. If it's for film shoots, but it also happens to have a professional look, I think we should go see the lines above (eg HDP2 Tascam, Fostex FR-2 ...)

As guitarist too, I wanted to test the effects, well, personally, they are not great ...

I think I made the turn ... if need more information, contact me
