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.Read full review

This product is very good as a stand alone thing to record..Good quality sound and all, simple to use ect.. I record acoustic guitar with it and i can get a good recording anywhere i go. The thing is, dont expect to get a good sound when using it as a audio interface..Theres a significant loss of audio quality that way..I tought there was a problem with my set up but no, it was confim by Zoom in the support. It should be mention, some people, like me are buying it to use as a audio interface.

This is a wonderful recorder you can take with you everywhere and quickly set up for when you need to capture the best sound quality for your dslr and or mirrorless set up. In my case I am using it with my Panasonic G7 and Olympus MFT systems. Later in Final Cut Pro I edit and synch the sound and I have a perfect thing going. It is light in the hand, easy to use, and although I have not taken advantage of its full potential, I feel like I have an excellent tool in my arsenal now. It's a bargain. Highly recommended.

This is a superb recorder. Initially it is very easy to start making excellent recordings. With a little time there are many other useful recording options to learn. I am a performer and music teacher. I have already used it for recording both performances and music lessons. The detachable microphone is a great feature. It is also easy to use with my external microphones. I highly recommend this product.

I've had an H2 and an H4n, and I now own an H1 and H5. All of these units offer excellent sound, which is the name of the game, and that's that. So far, it seems the H5 has lower self-noise than any other I own or have owned. The only feature I'd like to see the manufacturers add is auto-off, or sleep mode, after a user-selected idle period. I've learned to use rechargeables to save on batteries I've drained because I've forgotten to turn the darn things off--which is easy enough to do when you use the recorders as often as I do and for the purposes to which I put them. I'm looking forward to trying the mid-side mic. Could be fun.
