Subject: RE: Tech: Zoom H2n - buy now ? - low UK price !!!
I retired my old H4>/b> for studio use only, and bypassed the H2n for the H1 as my field-recorder of choice. So far so very splendid! AND it fits snugly into a £2 sunglasses case with all the gubbins (tripod / headphones / spare battery / wind shield*).

The only thing I don't like is the micro-SD card, but I'm getting used to it. Oh, and the crappy plastic modelling too which has always been an issue with Zoom stuff in general despite otherwise excellent products. Our main machine in the studio these past few years has been an R24.

* A tip for all Zoom H series recorders: for out-door recording stuff the whole thing into a condenser mic pop shield. The H4 fits very snugly into those made for large diaphragm models which would take the H2 very nicely too. I use a smaller one on the H1. The old H4 came with a foam plastic black clown-nose which was neither use nor ornament...
