I'm after one for around the £150 mark, anyone got any advice?
and if you have one, how much does it get used in your productions?
Portable recorders..

have you seen this? http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/h1
looks pretty cool and cheap. i have been looking into buying its bigger brother the h4n, but I am not sure I need all its features and might just go with the h1.
does anyone have any experience of it? the only downside i can see to it is the external in is just a mini jack...

hi,
i've been using the zoom h1 since about 3 weeks,
it was a birthday present i got 'cause i was also searching a very small portable recorder that i can carry with me all time...
so, my impression is a bit ambivalent, what's annoying is,
that it needs a lot of power, the aaa battery you need only lasts about 2 hours or so (for wav recording 24bit/96khz), and it's a bit toy like cause of the plastic body...
but the sound quality is quite good for such a small device, also the size and weight - i would recommend it if your searchin' something to record noises and single sounds, to record a whole ambience like windsounds in tree or so there will be definitly better devices...
