(MP3, WAV)Cons:*Drains Batteries Quickly*An annoyance to reset date and time every time you

The built in speaker is HORRIBLE in both volume and sound quality to the point of being useless for any environment except for the perfect quiet of my office; any time with background noise such as coffee

On top of that, while recordingit makes annoying high-pitched noise many times even though the recorder was set on cushiony material on top of the table.

if I had to do it all again, I would have a hard time deciding

i swapped out the battery 3 different times, but it still didn't work

it only supports one battery, which limits recording time.

I would have given an excellent review but it only worked 4 times then died!

works great every time. arrived in 2 days.

I'm Having a hard time with it.

It also has a hard time separating sounds meant for one side.

I watch and read many reviews and even then still have a tough time pulling the trigger

The timing on the two is accurate enough that I can synch the Zoom sound with the Flip video in iMovie, and it stays synched longer than my typical clips.

Every time I use it (once a week) the battery is dead

If that's the case, just connect a lav mic (buy RODE, don't waste your time with anything else if you plan to use it more than 3 times in a year), and the talent can keep the Zoom H1 in their pocket

The body of this recorder is plastic built so it may break any time

Works great every time!!!

When you change the battery, you lose the date and time, which then must be reset.

This thing has come in handy so many times.
