zoom digital recorder

Zoom continues to be well known within the video crowd (and a good number recently in the DSLR video segment) because of its killer H4n Handy Recorder, that features X/Y stereo condenser mics, 4 channel recording, plus twin XLR inputs, with additional features. The only real disappointment regarding the H4n is its price of $300.

Introducing the H1. And It’s only $99!

While the H4n can be described as bargain to those that require pro-audio results, it’s a tiny bit out of reach for most fans. The $99 H1 should cure that dilemma. Though the H1 doesn’t possess man of the bells and whistles of a H4n, it takes your $100 for a heck of a trip together with a same pair of X/Y mics, WAV recording on 96kHz/48kHz/44.1kHz at 16-bit or 24-bit, plus 10 hrs of recording time out of a one AA battery.

It’s got no XLR inputs, however it is possible to add an external mic using a 1/8″ input. That ought to perform properly using a shotgun mic located atop your Rebel T2i or additional DSLR video camera.
