Altough the folder and file structure of the recorder was somewhat difficult for me to get used to, I found that the recorders ability to record coversations and meetings perfect for my needs. I also like the Sound Organizer that was included with it. Very nice.

This recorder has the same protocols as the earlier 3200 and 5200 models. It is light but very good for recording speeches, etc. When downloaded on a computer, the info can be manipulated using various software packages. It was as described on site and arrived quickly. I have already used it with both a short clip on microphone and with the built in microphone. I recommend it to anyone wanting a light but excellent recorder.

Excellent digital recorder for music and meetings.  I have used the two sets of mikes or an external mike with excellent results.  A very, easy to use digital recorder.

This compact voice recorder is small in size but big in features. I'd say it's the size of one of the older iPod Nanos.

I'm working on my first book and this compact recorder is exactly what I've been searching for - it has a long battery life, is highly portable, offers a highly sensitive microphone that allows me to record my own and other people's voices accurately and has up to 493 hours of recording time.  In addition, a built-in USB connector allows me to easily transfer my files from the recorder into my PC.  The Dragon software even converts my words into text, which I can save as a file. Wonderful!!

My only quibble is that I can't listen to the FM radio in stereo because the ear jack is for mono only.  I also have a question about its durability - because it's so lightweight and thin, I do worry that one accidental drop could damage it (so far, I haven't dropped it). It's also not water-resistant.

Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with this product and impressed with the number of features that's included in this small device.

I purchased this camcorder because I love the fact about how you can use this with just a memory card like with your digital camera.  It so small and compact and easy to use.  I am happy to take it with me to record my 4 children with all their sports they do. Then I come home and upload it my computer, very simple. I'm glad I purchased this one.

This recorder does a nice job of recording. The first one worked so well that we bought a 2nd one and use it weekly to record sermons at our church.

I use this recorder almost exclusively for foreign language lessons, and it works wonderfully for this purpose.  I consider the USB connection to be essential so that I can upload and download audio files to and from my PC.  (The cheaper PX333 model does not have this option, so that I why I selected the PX312 model.)  The device is easy to use, but as another reviewer commented, the verbose user's manual seems a bit over the top for such a simple device.  The only real complaint I have is that the LCD screen is very small and hard to read.  (No way around this with a small, hand-held device, however.)  An optional, timed back-light would have been very helpful for reading the display.  Otherwise, the recorder is perfect for my purposes.

Works just as expected, has good sound quality and is relatively reliable. I used it for a video production project at the university where I had to record audio and video separately. Zoom recorders are good for amateur or professional recording situations, and have inputs for XLR cables and auxiliary cables.

Excellent recorder! The first one I have ever used and I can navigate it with ease. Quality isn't professional but it is good considering the cost and size. I definitely recommend this!

My hand-held recorder needs are rather simple--just capturing my own guitar, and the occasional covert concert boot--but the Zoom H2 handles the job exceedingly well with great versatility and super sound quality. It does far more than I require with more options and settings, but it's good to have the capability. If I had to complain about the H2, it would be about how tiny the operations screen is and how difficult it is to decipher the letters and symbols of the read-out. The more you use it, however, the more natural it becomes.

I operate a small recording business and studio ([...]).  I loaned my Zoom H2&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Zoom-H2-Handy-Portable-Stereo-Recorder/dp/B000VBH2IG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder</a>
to my brother who used it to record an 18 member choir singing a Christmas cantata on 12/14/2008.  He used the H2 in stereo mode using the 90 degree front field microphones.  The H2 was placed in a vacant section of the front pew of the church about 16 feet from the choir.

Two days before the performance I provided him with a 10 minute "how to" on the H2 and he had no trouble using it even though it was the first time he recorded anything with it.  It is quite straightforward to operate and the small size makes it inconspicuous while in use.

After recording he brought the H2 to my studio where I transferred his files to a G5 iMac and then via ethernet to my dedicated recording console (a Tascam SX-1:  [...]) and then mastered it to CD using an Alesis Masterlink ([...]).

The resulting CDs captured the performance very well and were well received by members of the choir and its director.  Based on how well the H2 performed in this situation I am now using it to make safety recordings whenever on my location recording gigs for all my clients.  Since the H2 is independent of the AC power it just might save me if my main location gear fails due to a power loss (longer than my UPs can handle) during a session.

All in all I am very satisfied with the addition of the Zoom H2 to my recording business - it really lives up to the "Handy" in its name!

Love this little audio recorder! It's quickly become my go to recorder, and I own the Zoom H2 and Zoom H4n as well. Small and lightweight. Works great with a plug in lav mic or ear-hanging mic like the Pyle-Pro. Hours of usage off one AA battery! Highly recommended. I had one on loan for a review on www.youtube.com/artoftheimage but bought one as soon as I had to send the loaner back because I couldn't bear the idea of not having one around. :-)
