Interviewing people for your next podcast?
Recording uni lectures or a concert?
Got a Gf or Gran' who's been harrassed at the door or by phone, who wants to collect evidence of any future abuse (I know it's unlawful, but it's better/safer than "packing-a-pistol" right? ;-)?
Just want to add some spot-by-spot comments to your travel-photos?
I'd say this puppy will do any/all of the above… with its dual, crossed mic's (pretty cool & hopefully effective for stereo recording).
An easy-to-find "Rec" button. (Another great Japanese design!)
2 GB of space to record into - MP3 or "Broadcast WAV" (the latter lets you add search-marks to stop at, later).
Instead of lotsa squinting at a screen to see what multi-function button you need to press next… the H1 has a zillion external buttons (even one to Lock the rest ;-)
OK, maybe only half a zillion… :-)
OfficeWorks had a much simpler (and - I think Mono - DVR) for $118, recently…
I say: Wny not add $16 & go stereo with this puppy…?
The only reviewer comment (by a guy in USA who sells 'em, no less) that made me think twice before deciding was: Its case seemed a bit less than solid.
Oh, it has a threaded-mount for your SLR camera (I think it goes where the flash would attach).
Now, all I need is the Accessory Kit… :-)
Would-be- or student-Journo's here's your entry-level DVR…
(If you know the H1 or Zoom gear, generally, perhaps you can comment on what I might expect, by way of performance, from this product… Tnx)
I just wanted to give credit to the Canberra store that seemed to have the best price (See link)… everyone else had a higher price AND added a shipping fee. (BTW, RRP: $199, per their web site.)
I didn't see any end of sale date… probably an end-of-year deal. A quick look shows the same price (still shipping free).
(If you see such a date, I can add it. :-)
PS Compared to CentreCom.com's "Closed for the holiday" policy, DW Music apparently stays open to send out product…
They sent me an eMail (between Xmas & New Year's Eve) to say my H1 has been shipped… Great service from an Aussie shop!
Keep it up, guys! :-)
Meanwhile, I'll just have to wait a little longer for CentreCom's package… :-(
Do people actually use this to record lectures at uni?
I've been thinking of something to help me take notes at uni. Juggling between a professional audio recorder and a Livescribe pen.
