I love my H2 as a field recorder/documentary device; we record every rehearsal with my band... money wise, it's the most bang for the buck I run into in a while...

Anyone have a recommendation? Budget minded so I was looking at the Zoom H2. I would use it for field recordings and grabbing live gigs on the fly. After reading mixed reviews I thought to ask here for hands on experience. best, Jeff http://jeffduke.bandcamp.com/ http://www.vimeo.com/jeffduke http://livestream.com/jeffdukelive http://www.myspace.com/loopsinphasespace http://usit.bandcamp.com/ http://digitsignal.bandcamp.com/
