I experienced the same battery drain issue others have refered to.

I'm hoping that the next firmware addresses this battery drain issue.

: Make sure you download the firmware update = fixes the battery drain issue.

I contacted the vendor about this battery draining issue, but no response

noted:- None of our units exhibit the battery drain issue

The first unit I received had the battery drain issue that others mentioned, where a fresh battery was dead after a day or two even without any use.

so I'm now confident the battery draining issue has been resolved.

I was hoping to have that functionality.--- SamsonTech replaced my unit problem and the battery drain issue was completely gone.

Pros:- Microphones are clear with a wide field and well-separated between L/R- Easy to set up - not too many things to

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.

Awesome recorder get it u won't be disappointed
