I shoot TV news and carried one in my gadget bag for several years. Didn't use it very often. Slow to power up and configure for each use or I would have given it 5 stars. The menu is not intuitive at all. But the features built into this thing are amazing, and so is the audio quality. The on-board mics can be programed to perform like several different brands of high quality mics. They will surprise you! I was never disappointed with the results. Would have used it more if it didn't usually take me several minutes to power it up and set it for what I needed to do. Used it for a number of feature stories I shot, especially when recording music or important ambient sound.

I bought this as a replacement for my poor abused Zoom H2 that has been all over the country with me. When it had a hiccup and I had to skip 3 interviews it was time to find a new one. I originally looked for another H2 but then I found this gently used for testing only one and got a great deal. I would have bought it brand new anyway because it is incredible. I can use my professional XLR microphones for face to face interviews AND it is a mini mixer that allows me to tape phone interviews through SKYPE. I got so much more than I expected with this great little piece of equipment. Don't hesitate if your looking for an easy to use audio tool you won't be disappointed with the Zoom H4N

I bought this product to help myself multitrack, as well as record gigs that I perform at. It is an outstanding device. People have complained that it is not intuitive. I have found it to be fairly intuitive with many features. You simply have to play around with it. The onboard mikes are great. I have external mikes, but don't think I will use them. Getting the remote is a very wise idea. My only complaint is that the device could use some upgrading in terms of the screen. It seems as though it was designed a while back and has not been improved upon. However, I still recommend it.
My item came early and has too many features to describe absolutely awesome!

Bought this unit to just press and record, which it does well. Also started using the input feed to record straight from my equipment. The interface takes a little getting used to, but once that's archived, it's a handy little unit. Haven't tried 4 track reording yet, but will in the future.
