Still vouching for the Zoom stuff - there is a new H4n that adds some features (um and is more expensive)

Just about to release album comprised fully of binaural field recordings from a Zoom H2, so repping for that. Lent it to a friend also who got good results for recording some interviews.

zoom still wins price/performance battle hands down imo

which one, h2 or h4?
― am0n, Saturday, 13 March 2010 21:30 (fourteen years ago) link
both really, just depends on what your needs are

H2: Better in built mics, smaller, cheaper, can record surround sound.H4: Works as a four-track recorder.

the new edirols are nice. seems like the same thing as the zoom.
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 18 March 2010 11:38 (fourteen years ago) link
except twice as expensive. not heard about quality comparisons. could the edirol really be twice as good?
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 22 March 2010 18:14 (fourteen years ago) link
still interested in H2 vs Edirol

so i actually have a film project that will require a field recorder. collaborator has an H1, and we're both shooting video on GF1s (because that's what we've got). it's cheap, it syncs well with video apparently, and i guess maybe there's something to be said for keeping our equipment consistent? basically tell me why i ~shouldn't~ get the H1?

H1 is fine for a basic hand held stereo recorder. If you want more features, ability to use powered electret condensors, record in 48/24 (or even 96/24) etc I'll continue to recommend the H2. Mine (mentioned upthread) is still going strong.
