Very versatile recorder. I had a little bit of difficulty with the complexity of functions. Not as intuitive as I was hoping it would be. Otherwise no other complaints.

The ZOOM H2 is the best recorder I have ever encounter. I recorded phone calls with it and several church sermons, When I listen to the sermon at home, it made the preacher sound as if he was in the same room with me, it was so clear, it's unbelievable and Im not using all of its features because I don't like to read instructions, but Im getting great results so far. I take it with me everywhere and it's very light Im very happy with it. For the money I think it's a great product and a good deal.

This is the best value in portable recorders. The mics are very good, the usability is great. It feels a little cheap in construction if you are used to pro sound equipment, but I have used this to record singers and storytellers in some very challenging situations. Just have a care, and use SD cards (not SDHC cards) and you will love it.

The Zoom H2 is an easy-to-use, versatile stereo digital audio recorder that fits into the palm of your hand. Perfect for musicians, journalists, podcasters and more, the H2 records high-quality WAV and MP3 files to meet any professional need. The H2 has 4 built-in microphone capsules, whose signals are decoded and combined to create a fantastic stereo image. You can record from the front at 90°, the rear of the unit at 120°, or you can record 360° to create a 5.1 mix of your audio.
The H2 records your audio onto easily-found SD flash cards with capacities up to 16GB. A 512MB card is included so you can begin recording right away. When a 4GB card is inserted, you can record up to 2 hours of audio at 96kHz, 6 hours at 44.1kHz, or up to 138 hours in MP3 format. The pocket-sized device runs on 2 standard AA batteries to provide up to 4 hours of continuous operation.
The intuitive interface provides you with one-button recording, along with auto start and gain functions. Controls include easy-to-use cursor, menu and transport keys, as well as a 3-way mic gain switch and a volume up/down control. Two mini inputs are provided, one mic and one line. A stereo mini headphone output allows you to listen to your recordings right from the H2. A USB port allows you to transfer data to and from your Mac or PC, or to use the H2 as a USB microphone.
