Just got a release from Samson about the new Zoom H2 recorder. It's smaller & cheaper than the H4, with what looks like some very nice features of its own.
I don't think it's shipping yet. But if you are in the market, you might want to take a look. Check it out at:
I emailed the "Zoom" folks. The H2 will not be out until June or so.
Good news for SCSKSers. Buffalo Brothers has ordered them and will have them as soon as they are shipped to dealers. They have me down to get one and call me when they come in.
E nana, e ho'olohe. E pa'a ka waha, e hana ka lima.
This looks like a fun recorder. It's lacking the effects and the XLR/1/4" inputs of the H4 (it does include an 1/8" external mic jack) but offers more flexible internal mics that includes the ability to do 5:1 surround sound.
Craig My goal is to be able to play as well as people think I can.
