Cheers.I had another model... don't remember which one but it only lasted a year or two.. However, that said it did have a very nice sound quality for such a small device and it was very easy to use.. Just laid it next to me on the couch and it recorded my acoustic stuff very nicely... I'm considering another one down the line... My sweetwater guy was pushing the Zoom for a replacement but I already have the Tascam charger... So I'm not sure yet??  from what i recall you had multiple output format options... I would check out their website... Good luck!      Â
Thanks Elio I will check it out.You might want to consider Olympus as an option. I have the LS-20M PCM recorder, which also has a built in HD camera and some really nice features (e.g. external mic input, lots of file resolution options). Most of the Olympus recorders are a little pricey but the LS-20M was discontinued last year and the price plummeted to around $!00. I have used it for the last couple OC jams, and the sound quality is incredibly good with outstanding video.

I've finally gone for the Zoom H1. It has less features but it has the features I will use and from the sound quality comparison videos I have seen the Zoom seems to be just that bit clearer and brighter. It also seems to handle loud amplified music a shade better too. Thanks to those people who responded. All your comments were very much appreciated.
No it doesn't come with a charger but you can pick one up for less than £8. It runs on 1 AA battery which is said to last for over 10 hours of continuous recording, which is fine for what I have in mind for it.I've finally gone for the Zoom H1. It has less features but it has the features I will use and from the sound quality comparison videos I have seen the Zoom seems to be just that bit clearer and brighter. It also seems to handle loud amplified music a shade better too. Thanks to those people who responded. All your comments were very much appreciated.

Will do.

I did a very quick recording of a small section of a classical guitar piece that I'm currently working on just so you can hear the quality of the recording using the Zoom H1. It's recorded in .mp3 format but would be even better quality if recorded using .wav format. The input level is set at 60% and the Zoom was sat on a cup on a table approximately 2 feet away from the guitar.
