Not quite what I would call an alternative to a shotgun since shotgun Mics have a very different pattern than a 90 or 120 degree XY stereo pattern. However, and depending on your cam, it will give you better sound that your cam built-in mics. Eric

Hello, there! Great video! Do you think this recorder would work well as a replacement for a shotgun-mic for home-made movies, since it's kinda cheap? Thanks!

hi im having a small problem with my H2, when i record my music it sounds kind of "flat", is there anyway to make it more "dynamic"?

I found some online H2 samples on the midnightrunner podcast out of seoul, korea. You can find that podcast by going to appl_e's site and looking for podcasts.

Thanks for your reply, I only have a compact canon camera though not a DV cam, not sure if it has a mic input. I heard that I could record the picture of me playing with the camera, and record sound seperately with a high end mic (not too expensive though), then somehow put them together with software I guess to create a decent video, with better sound than my onboard mic on the camera. Not sure if its possible to get the 2 different sources of sound and video to combine perfectly in sync.

I love the sound of the R09HR (we're talking about the HR)and the fact that it uses the new High capacity SD ram cards. Not a ton of accessories provided but nice 24/96 sound. Eric

take a 1/8" to 1/8" male to male jack connector cable. go from the headphone/line out to the mic input of your DV cam and as you monitor your recording on your H2, it will send that line signal to your camera, pretty clean too. Makes sense? Eric

Is the H2 ok for recording my upright U3 on? Bearing in mind its a very loud piano with deep loud extended bass. I would like to overlay the sound with video from my camera, is that easy to do? Cheers

This is an excellent video, and an excellent DR. I seem to be having trouble finding human voice samples recorded with the H2, because I'd like to hear what it sounds like and compare my finding with what I've herd from the Edirol R-09HR. If you can recommend a place where I can download said samples that would be fantastic. Thanks once again for an amazing vid!
