My history with small digital recorders is all zoom. I kep coming back to them. I started with an MRS4, then went to a PS-04, and I just picked up the R-16 (not as small, but it has two built in mics which I think are similar to the H's, runs off batteries, and does 8 sumiltaneous 24/44 wav ins all for 400$). I keep getting them because they hold up great for me. Now I don't use the effects, etc, just dump the files into the studio, and their downside seems to be the ability to get lost in the menus, but even though they feel built a little cheap, they really hold up.
