I will be satisfied with this product for as long as it lasts.
Sound
I have mixed feelings about Zoom products-as they are hit or miss,but I think that Zoom portable recorders dominate the market....stunning quality and innovative features on a budget...this is as good as it gets!! The channel separation that these two little mics produce is mind blowing...incredible surround sound!! The audio quality of this recorder is so impressive,that it has multiple uses....field recording for killer samples,studio vocals and well...for anything you could dream up.
Features
The most useful features is the audio recording quality-obviously. For the money,I can find no fault with the video end of it-especially since I had no high expectations anyway.....but as you might have guessed,the camera is virtually useless in low light conditions. However though-in adequately illuminated rooms and the outdoors,this video recording works fine and it's quite decent in quality for it's tiny size.
Ease of Use
Seamlessly simple and amazing results in the audio department....no learning curve whatsoever-FANTASTIC! This little gem will record ANYTHING with shockingly good results!
Quality
Considering how lightweight this recorder is,the build quality is fairly decent,but I would strongly recommend that you use the velvet sack and free gig bag for storage and buy a wrist… read more strap for it(when in use).
Manufacturer Support
I have dealt with the Samson end of this company when I had a pair of Resolv 40a monitors...one channel crapped out after a year and a local repair shop bungled the repair and then I sent the speaker to Samson directly. What I received in return,is a different pair of refurbished monitors....needless to say,I was f**king pi*sed. Hopefully I will not have to deal with future repairs with this product.
The Wow Factor
Tasty blue color,very large & legible LCD screen....a very sexy product!
