Records up to 24bit/96kHz audio, is lightweight and a great feature is that you can record a backup track at a lower input setting in case your original audio clips

A few notable advantages:-Dual recording: This is by far one of it's best features

Nicest feature is the ability to record stereo at two different levels to assure a track with no distortion

It's loaded with great features

It really possesses impressive features for a little recorder

Good quality sound and good features.

I spent many months researching the various options, and for play-by-play sports recording, the DR-40 offers an exceptional feature set at the price.

Another great feature is the ability to simultaneously record 4 audio tracks - built in mic left and right, and then the 2 inputs

The XLR inputs with phantom power available area great feature for a portable recorder, for sure

I liked the features this recorder

I love the safety track feature just in case you set the levels a bit high

Of course, this would also be a valuable feature for other recording situations where the unit is up on stage (and thus would not be accessible during the performance).

This has superior recording capability and features for between $150 and $200 (depending on rebates, deals, etc).

it just does the job .. features and reliability have improved over the years too.

Read the information on the product, it will explain all the features well

The duel audio recording is a great feature as it allow you to use its multitrack recordings capabilities to record at different levels so it can save audio that peaks out

Great features and device quality but must use digital menu instead of analog buttons and wheels like in previous models.

The feature set on this recorder is decent

In general, the features are immense and theres a lot you can do with this little thing.

The locking combo XLR/quarter inch inputs are another nice feature

Adjusting the mics from X/Y to A/B automatically brings up a message asking whether to reverse the mics for L-R input which is a neat feature

Absolutely great recorder with awesome features.

All the audio quality and a fancy features in the world are irrelevant if I end up with nothing but silence!

Good features for sportscasters

It works great, and I love the SD card feature.

It is EXTREMELY flexible and has a nice peak-limiting feature that sets the input levels really nicely

Pros:-Good/plentiful features-PreAmps are

I love the features and sound quality and simplicity of use

The best feature so far is the dual record feature, we'll place the tascam close to the Dj's speaker at a wedding or event (during the toast for example) and set it to record 2 different levels of audio, a Hi and a Lo and in post we'll pick the track that sounds best for that scene.

easy to use, great features, XLR inputs and 1/4 inch to!!

So there was a bit of distortion with my first run, but still FAR better overall audio than using audio straight from a camcorder, even with a camcorder hooked to a RODE audio shotgun mic ($160 mic).One truly awesome feature of the recorder (which made my audio usable despite the high input levels) was the 'Dual Recording' mode

Probably will not use it much that way, but it is a great added feature from a musician's point of view.

Looked at and considered other but the value this offers -- extraordinary features at this price point & reliability of the brand sealed the deal for me.

In short, the DR-07mkII is a fine recorder, but for just a little more money you can get this unit with the very useful dual level recording feature that will make your life much easier.

It is the actual audio quality, the most important feature, that is really poor

Lots and lots of great features to produce high quality audio in the field

Get the audio right first, then add cute little features

because: Much cheaper, bettery battery life, same level of audio quality, + some cool features not seen on the zoom

it records very well and clear, all the features are easy to use and work well.

There are many other excellent features that you can read about in the product description.

Only one simple feature missing... a 3.5mm input for stereo

I also do not like when the advertisements or bandwagon people involved in the hype talk emphasize all of the convenient features that it has like a tuner or prerecording

mikes worked well, many well designed features and real XLR inputs with Phantom power

Some other cool features is the support for a wired or wireless remote control (same remote, just tether/untether).Very easy to use, I figured out most of the functionality by just playing with it for a few minutes in the car, and flipping through the manuel for a few terms i couldnt guesstimate (like how dual mode worked).Battery life is good in dual mode (havent tried others yet), takes 3xAA batteries, new batteries lasted >4 hours of recording, and still had plenty of life left

I like the ability to switch from A-B to X-Y mic placement and the multiple choices of bit rate and file format (MP3/WAV).The dual XLR/Line inputs are a great feature, especially for recording demos on the go

I love the dubbing feature too, have laid down double tracks

because: Much cheaper, bettery battery life, same level of audio quality, + some cool features not seen on the zoom

I use the recorder to record with the internal mics as well as to connect to other XLR microphones.

Works exactly as I expected it to.

Works great for field recording as well as for recording the sermons I preach for uploading online

If you're doing recording on those neat U-shaped rigs, this mounts nicely on top to capture that sweet audio.
