What would be the consensus of this Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder : http://www.amazon.com/Zoom-H2-Portable- ... 000VBH2IG#

I need to wait till the price drops a bit because I just picked up another Olympus and use that instead of an MP3 which does mono not stereo when it records.

The H2 is the only portable recorder with 4 mic capsules on-board for 360° recording, Auto Gain Control (AGC) for pristine recordings, Low-cut filter eliminates wind noise , Accommodates up to 16GB SD memory cards.

Its $160 for the unit...worth getting ya think? Altho I could always just pawn it off on Ebay.

I have no clue on this one.. My Olympus does have stereo. Am not sure if you will pick up more contamination with 4 mics.

This is what I have Olympus WS-321M Digital Recorder with MP3 and WMA Music Player.
Records up to 277 hrs / Built-in Stereo Mic / USB Direct design for PC connection and transfer

I get an ant's fart now.

Both of mine are the 311 Model's and yup mines picks up EVERYTHING. 2 members were Yacking on the other side of this HUGE cemetery and I could pick up everything. Thats one reason why I hate ppl talking loud yet whispering is just as bad.
