Value For Money : Excellent
How long: one week
The +: size, sound, autonomy, support for tripod, 2 XLR inputs, the 48 V. ..
the -: ergonomics (finger fairy mandatory), wheel basic, the Windscreen (zero, zero, zero), the SD card (128 MB the joke) and especially the use of computer sound card! I have an Imac Intel 20 and from the SD card, the H4 is not recognized! I tested on my iBook G4 and even history. Big disappointment because I expected to use with the laptop external sound card.

CORRECTION!

Zoom h4 works well as external sound card! There are not very ergonomic handling but it works!

So this machine is really, really good value. I will test the preamps rapido ...
