H2 Handy Stereo Field Recorder - ZH2

I'm a guitar player and I have heard about the H2 on some of the guitar bulletin boards. It sound kind of cool but I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money to get one. I made some recordings using my webcam and the condenser mic that came with it. Darn, there was a clicking sound in the recording. I listened to some other players using an H2 and they sounded like they were close to pro quality recording. I decided to shop around and after pricing recorders I found the H2 was the winner on QPR. Other recorders offering similar quality were significantly more expensive. I decided to buy and I found that the H2 is pretty easy to use. There are a lot of features I have not explored and I do think that some of the settings are not really needed. Overall, it's easy to use and makes quality recordings. If you want to record music or podcasts and make a comparatively small investment to get good quality the H2 is a recorder that you should consider. It also works as a USB mic if you want to use Audacity or Windows Moviemaker to do your thing. Compact size, relatively low price, very good recording quality and cool look make the Zoom H2 a good choice if you are looking for a portable recorder that won't break the bank.
