Summary: H2 for the gig
Comment: A fellow musician brought a Zoom H4 to our gig, and effortlessly recorded the session. The results, to my ear, were amazing, prompting further research for applicability to a solo piano venue. The performance specifications for the Zoom H2 seemed to fulfill the proposed use criteria. Results from a month of use have far exceeded my expectations.

Summary: Great sound recorder
Comment: The Zoom H2 produces excellent sound quality. I really like the functionality it has in connection with editing a sound clip. Don't worry about trying to start and stop the recorder precisely at the beginning and end of an event -- just turn it on and let it go. The H2 lets you divide a clip so you can easily eliminate the parts you don't want. It also allows you to convert easily to mp3 format. Renaming clips in the recorder is a bit cumbersome, but you can avoid this by connecting to your pc via the supplied usb cable and rename the files using the keyboard on the pc. If you also purchase and 8gb SD memory card, you can record over 12 hours.

Summary: Excellent recorder at a decent price!
Comment: I was in the market for an R09 and stumbled upon the ZoomH2. After reading a few reviews and vising the products website I was sold. At half the price of the R09 how could I not try it out. I tried it out by recording a friends band in a small venue. I wanted to see just how well the internal mics worked. The recording turned out very good! I was shocked at how well the ZoomH2 did on its own. Then (luckily within the first 30 days of owning the product) I tried using the line-in jack with a set of my usual recording mics/batt box. To my surprise only the left channel would record. So at first I figured something in my setup had gone bad. So I tried another rig, same thing. I then tried hooking up a 3.5mm to RCA (Y-Adapter) to my stereo and again only left channel. So I had gotten a defective item right out of the box. I had first contacted the ZoomH2 support. They gave me some odd quote of parts + $27.50hr labor. I then contacted amazon who sent me a replacement overnight and paid for the return package! Now that was customer service. I have since checked the new one I got and it works perfectly! I am planning on recording another couple bands on Jan 30th so we will put it to the test again. As of now I am very satisfied with my purchase and would buy another any day!

Summary: family recordings and interviews
Comment: I bought this for making family recordings.I think the grand kids open up more to this than a video camera. Easy to use if you study the directions.The recordings sound excellent. The price was great. Something like this would have been on my wish list forever because i really wanted the Sony.This has been a lot of fun i have made a lot of great recordings just make sure you have reading glass while you use it.

Summary: H2 better than H4...
Comment: The H2 recorder has the same condenser mics as the H4, and has 4 of them rather than 2. The ease of use, compact size, being able to mount it on a mic stand, having its own little stand attachment as well...90, 120, and 360 degree recording, makes it so versatile. Its more basic, no 4 track, no effects etc., but if all you need is super easy, high quality recording on the fly, in many levels from wave to mp3, (for half the price of the H4), the H2 is an awesome recording tool.

It's a simple idea: provide brilliant stereo recording in an easy-to-use, ultra-portable device. The H2 is the only portable recorder with 3 mic capsules onboard for mid-side recording. A directional mic is in the center (mid) and two directional mics (side) are positioned left and right. The audio is decoded instantly, bringing these three signals together for unparalleled stereo imaging. One button recording, gain controls on the side and an intuitive user interface mean you can always capture the moment. Set your levels, push record and go. The H2 records on Secure Digital (SD) media and a 512MB SD card is included. With a 4GB SD memory card, the H2 provides up to 2 hours recording at 96kHz, 6 hours at 44.1kHz, or up to a staggering 138 hours in MP3. Play your recordings on your home audio system with its 1/8" stereo output or listen to your masterpiece with headphones. Or, use the H2's USB interface to move your recordings to your Mac or PC to listen, edit and share. 512MB SD memory card included; Accommodates up to 4GB SD optional memory cards Auto Gain Control (AGC) for pristine recordings Auto Start function means you're always ready to record Low-cut filter eliminates wind noise On-board chromatic Guitar/Bass tuner Two standard alkaline AA batteries will give you 4 hours of continuous operation and a backlit display means it's always easy to use in any situation Pocketable - Weighs only 4 ounces
