Of the two Top ZOOM models, I selected the H4n.

I applaud Zoom for providing a great Auto Level Record mode, which means that for non-critical situations, I can just hit Record and go, while at the same time this instrument can be used in demanding situations that require manual settings

The Zoom H4N works very well and perfect for making movies with audio.

Zoom has been making fantastic all-in-one pro-level portable audio recorders for a long time, and their products seem to keep getting better

The zoom is amazing

There are many sound recorders out there and my research told me that the Zoom was a lot easier to learn than most of the others

The Zoom H4n exceeds my expectations, is smaller than expected and frankly is built better than many published reviewer's report

Not enough gain for a usable recording and so much his when the gainis at 100% that it sounds like a ocean in the background!Did you notice Zoom left out ALL specifications regarding single to noise ratios

And Zoom went even further and added a plastic carrying case (for those of you worried about dropping it)

the zoom is amazing i love it so much it picks up noise acceptably well and with great quality too

this great new Zoom

The MAIN ting that sold me on the H4n over the cheaper but equally awesome zoom products is the XLR inputs that are phantom powered if you need it for condenser or other high-end microphones

I recommend this product and you can buy my Zoom H1 if you like lolol

The Zoom records great quality, and has a ton of features I haven't even used yet

Zoom really seems to have listened to the reviewers of their previous models (both here and in the music magazines and websites), and improved the product with this new model

The Zoom seems to have more gain in the mic amps- both can work well for this, but I prefer the Zoom for the higher gain and possibility of 4channel recording.

My friends from the film school prefer the zoom, but they don't question my D-40 mounted to my DSLR.

Maybe in year 2030, the quality of the Zoom Portable Recording devices are on the same level as studios today

My Zoom H4N is perfect for my application and is much better than the Win 7/Adobe Audition method I was using to record audio.

Love my Zoom!!

The first unit shipped had a problem - a mechanically faulty control - but Zoom was very responsive and replaced it immediately

A whirring noise in the internal right MIC, reported also in internet by other users and so far with no solution reported, has made my newly bought Zoom H4N almost useless

a couple 32GB cards and the Zoom didn't want to boot up with them, but it has worked fine with a 4GB and a 16GB

Zoom has an almost non-existent support

How ever if this is a little steep for our I would recommend the Zoom handy recorder

I've used the Zoom H4N to record some music presentations and practices, and it works quite well.

I definitely like the pocket-size of the M-Audio MicroTrack/MicroTrack II, but zoom definitely achieves a much higher level of quality (the important thing

Zoom has an excellent reputation and they are a very innovative company

i borrowed the Zoom H4n from a friend and loved how this thing just works

Zoom includes a free copy of Cubase LE but it works just fine with regular versions of Cubase

MULTIPLAYER MIC-RECORDERI love my Zoom h4n

The Zoom ZH4N Handy Portable Digital Recorder is a well-built, easy to operate machine which will satisfy most users who wish to make an audio recording 'in the field' where studio recording is not appropriate

I love my zoom it really come in handy

i right?])Some things I would buy along with this ZOOM H4n- Dead Kitten Windmuff (good for outdoor shooting.

It is easy to bring my extremely portable Zoom recorder and hook the sound booth's XLR and quickly record a nice broadcast quality audio file without using the tv studio resources

Zoom knocks it out of the park with this one, and it's affordable too

If you want to learn and appreciate the Zoom H4n's capabilities and options and you are not an experienced audio engineer these two products should be purchased together

I knew going in that this would not be as compact and simple as the Zoom H1 that I am familiar with, but I was a little overwhelmed with all the features

Did lots of research on the Internet and found a site that recommended the Zoom

I called Zoom NA Support about the jack and they answered right away, confirmed the problem, and offered options to fix or replace it

My M-audio 410 which works
