I'm a musician and I bought this to record my practice sessions and lessons. At first glance the Zoom offers many useful features such as AutoGain adjustment, various effects to play with, phantom power, and the various inputs supported which allow virtually any instrument to be recorded. These are all let down slightly by the irritating jogger button navigation which is used to navigate nearly all of the menus on the device.
That said, once a certain amount of fiddling and tweaking has been done to set up the H4, its a joy to use. Starting recording is very quick and easy, as is selecting the format you'd like to record using one of the buttons down the side of the device. The sound quality from the inbuilt mics is very impressive, with a nice wide stereo field from the Y config, and handy rough gain adjustment (Lo/Mid/Hi) sliders on the side of the device (finer adjustment is accessible from the gain/input menus). Using an external mic (or a combination of int/ext) is simply a case of plugging them in and selecting the sound source from the input menu, and built-in phantom power means that virtually any mic can be used.
A very handy feature of the H4 is that it supports high capacity SD cards (up to 16GB), although these won't be much use unless you have a healthy supply of batteries, or use a 9V power adapter. The battery life is OK, but not stunning, however its easy enough to change the batteries quickly provided you don't run out!
Overall, the Zoom H4 does what it says on the tin very well - the recorded sound quality is fantastic, and its very light and portable. The only downside seems to be the daft jogger button which is used to navigate all of the menus, but this shouldn't put you off buying a very powerful recording tool.
