Digital camera reviews of Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder
Digital camera Review: Great field or music jam recorder
Summary: 5 Stars
I will not bother you with detailed descriptions of what is good about this recorder; you can find that information in many other reviews. What I will say is this:
For its price, no other digital recorder can measure up to this great little recorder. If you want a recorder that is portable, good on batteries, produces recordings with great fidelity, is extremely versatile, and is affordable, look no further than the Zoom H2.
Buy it, you'll like it!!!
Digital camera Review: Small, light, high quality product, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
Great product. Great options. Most has been said already about the ease of use and sound quality. I would have preferred, however, to see a few more dollars spent on higher quality buttons and switches and a better display. This tries to pack too much visual info into a display the size of which would be acceptable 5 years ago, but simply doesnt qualify by todays expectations. And I would have paid those extra bucks. Instead I find myself screwing my eyes up to see whether it is recording or on pause, or....Digital camera Review: Very nice and easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very impressed with the sound quality on this and it is fairly easy to use - though you should plan to read the manual once. With a 4 GB SD card, you can store a lot of quality audio. Microphone pickup is very good.
I wish it had a small internal speaker for playback - you have to use the earphones to listen to recordings, but this has been my only complaint.
Digital camera Review: Amazon has poor service.
Summary: 1 Stars
Amazon stated that this item is sold by them and in stock. I placed an order on the 9th. Today is the 12th and Amazon still has not shipped my recorder. I ordered 2 other items on the same order from other companies, sold through Amazon, and they have both shipped and one will arrive today. Why is Amazon holding up shipping items that are "In Stock". Are they trying to force people to pay for their "Expedited Shipping" rippoff?
I will update more WHEN I ACTUALLY GET THE PRODUCT!
I should have purchased this elsewhere, I would have it today if I had!!!
Update 1: Now after several hours since I posted this comment, all of a sudden Amazon's page for this product changed from "In Stock" to "Usually ships in 2-3 days". Can't they just be honest with us when we place an order and tell us if they have it or not?
Update 2: Another day later, still has not shipped. To add to the frustration they have now lowered the price. Why are they lowering the price if they don't have product to ship, and if they do have product to ship, why haven't they shipped mine? Very frustrating!
Update 3: Decided to send email to customer service - not exactly easy information to find on their site. I send a message basically stating what I have stated here. No response! Amazing though, a few hours later the price changes again, higher now, and they are selling through another reseller, not Amazon! Why does Amazon not respond to communication? If I have a problem with one of their resellers, they imediately provide the contact email and the company gets right back to me, yet Amazon does not provide the same quality of service!!!
Update 4: Finally got email reply from Amazon today (13th) with lame response:
Please note that this Item is listed as "Usually ships in 1 to 2 weeks" typically take up to ships in 1 to 2 weeks to obtain and prepare for shipment, but can occasionally take longer.
This is false, the order page said "In Stock" and did not mention taking 1-2 weeks for them to ship it. I'm sure that change is comming soon to the web page also. They also have changed the price yet again today.
Digital camera Review: Zoom H2 Digital Recorder Does the Job for Me
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank God for this convenient, low priced marvel! For catching spur of the moment ideas and melodies, it does everything I could want. The use of the H2 is pretty much intuitive. I got a long ways with it before even cracking the instruction manual. Downloading the sound files to my computer was simple with the USB cable provided. Size wise, it fit nicely into one of my unused camera cases, and I can wear it on my belt. My only complaint was the bag that it came with was not of much use for more than a dust cover, but I wasn't expecting a case anyway. I know there are more expensive recorders that can do more, but for my needs this is everything I expected and more.
