I've been wanting one and have been doing some research online. I've been looking at the Zoom H4. Has anyone tried both the Zoom H4 and the Olympus ls-10 and if so can you give me some comparisons? They both look like nice products on paper, but I'd like some opinions if anyone's familiar with both recorders. I do like the XLR and 1/4" inputs, phantom power for mics and the direct usb recording features on the H4, but I've owned a couple Olympus cameras that were great and durable so I feel good about the Olympus name. Thanks for any input, Chuck alpep Posted 2008-11-15 7:23 AM (#11956 - in reply to #11955) Subject: Re: handheld recorders help Joined: December 2001 Posts: 10581 Location: NJ you get what you pay for.
