One thing, Sue, is the Zoom doesn't offer ToD stamp on the recording unless it's been upgraded. My Edirol R-09 gave me that from the start and it can be pretty important. I am using 2G memory cards for either my Zoom or Edirol and the Time of Day Stamp gives me important information on when/why it was recorded without the need to listen to the recording. It's a bit more expensive. Check Zoom to see if they've made any updates. Should do that myself! 8-)
