You can not get more for the money!!
4 of 4 found this helpful This recorder is excellent. I film commercials and i had switched to DSLR filming due its portableness. Because 90% of dslrs suck at audio the wonderful device is my go to audio. The body has a rubber-like finish and thats not a small thing. You hardly will get handling noise from this recorder even its hand held during recording.
The pick up is better than my NTG2 shotgun mic and that NTG is also improved when plugged into the H5.
CONS:
its called a 4channel recorder and technically that is true but not in practice. It can not be concentrated to 4 separate actors in a room. In practice you can only hone it to 3 actors. To me this makes it a 3-Track Recorder. If they had a head attachment that would create 2 XLR inputs then you would have 4-true tracks of dialog.
Channels 3&4 can be separate mono tracks of dialog but one and two are always a stereo pair and does not allow for one actor being closer to channel 1 and another actor 8ft away to be closer to channel 2.
Still Its worth the buy and you will not get better audio from any other recorder in its price range.
