I would recommend a larger SD card and the Zoom Dead Cat to reduce wind noise when using this outside

I only suggest you also purchase the wind cover and a dead cat mic cover

Coincidentally I watched a 12-piece orchestra perform at the Fat Cat in the West Village NYC last night, and guess what the maestro mounted and started recording with for their performance?

introduces tons of wind noise, so a 'dead cat' windscreen is practically obligatory, as is a shock mount.

Outdoors, use a 'dead cat'.Pros:1.Excellent sound.2.Excellent battery life, even with a AAA (saves a couple of ounces travel weight).3.It just works

Dead-Cat is needed.

Definitely going to need a dead cat because the slightest air flow will be disruptive.

The Zoom H2 is only $30 more ... could someone comment on any advantages and recommend a selection?Thanks!

it came with and the audio is quite clear as long as it is pointed in your general direction, but not as good as with the lapel mic

audiophile-grade playback gear and the 96kHz LP rips I make on the H1 still sound about as good as those made on any other ADC I've got

Technically it is as good as without the tape hiss, weighs less than one mike and carries in my pocket not my car trunk

The built in auto level doesn't work as well as I would've hoped

The quality of recordings seems to be as good as with the higher priced units.

I advise getting a strong windscreen because the one sold in the accessory pack did not work as effectively as I would have liked.
