 Very Impressed Aug 29, 2010
Basically in does what it says it will do. The sound quality is very good. The mics are very powerful. I sing gospel music and I am currently using it to make a live album. So after using this to record the show, I would edit and mix down the file for final production. So far so good. I will post the results on Cluetv soon.
Materials are the tradeoff for great price and performance Aug 26, 2010
I also own an Olympus LS-10. This gives me the same recording ability 96/24 but it is much less expensive. You do get the ability to record with four channels which I am dying to try once I get my hands on 5.1 encoding software. Also nice and not included with other brands, A tripod to hold the unit, a handle to use the unit like a microphone, charger, and earbuds.
Some have noted the zoom doesn't have speakers built in. If you truly want to monitor quality those tinny little built in speakers are not going to cut it. You need monitors or quality headphones. I find that inner ear monitors work best in noisy environments.
As I said in the title there is a tradeoff in terms of material. Olympus does seem to have more robust casing and controls. This may be a big issue if you don't treat your equipment carefully. Time will tell, but I have no doubt that this zoom unit is a solid product especially for the money.
I am also looking at the Zoom H1 which will come out in Sept. 2010. This product may actually be the LS-10 killer.

Superior recording quality Aug 22, 2010
I bought this to record lectures and I am so glad I chosed this over other brands. The results are superb, clear, and loud recordings. Even when I sit all the way in the back of the room I can still here what everyone is saying in the front of the room. Battery life is average but you can't beat the quality for this price. Excellent quality and I will buy again from this brand any day. Buy this and you won't regret it. It's very easy to use, took me about 2 minutes to figure out how to use it. Light weight, portable, and does what it says.

H2 is good but not great Aug 19, 2010
The good: sound quality is really good as well as the number of recording formats. Since this is really the primary function - five stars for that.
The not so good: battery life is so-so, time from power-on to record is annoyingly long, the display is a bit anemic (tiny text with low contrast) -- 2 1/2 stars for that.
