<p>I bought one of these for my D, a VP major, on the reccomendation of a young man who, in order to help pay for his education, makes pre-screening recordings. He has used several different brands and said that the Zoom H2 had the best features and made the best recordings, outstripping more expensive models. So far, so good, and we’ve not had any trouble getting it to work- it’s pretty intuitive, one button to ready it for recording and a second push to begin. If I am allowed to say this, have a look on E-Bay, becuase there are a couple of dealers who sell these with packages including “extras” such as MicroSD cards and cases.</p>
