This is certainly the best recording device I have purchased till now. Before purchasing I had viewed a few reviews on Youtube, and was surprised by the positive feedback from experts who are otherwise very critical :-). Now I understand why. The device is absolutely amazing. The device is absolutely amazing with the various recording apps for field recording, podcast and music.
Positives:
- XY mics
- 6 additional mics (with phantom power)
- Option to power with power bank (USB) during operation for long sessions
- Effects on each channel
- Use as external audio device for multi-channel recording directly on PC/Mac
- Line-Out
- Combination of Zoom H8 with Zoom BTA-1 (bluetooth adapter) and H8 App for iOS is super useful
- Touch screen
Negatives:
- I don't understand why Zoom doesn't provide cover foams for the XY-mic, especially since it is a mobile recorder and they in fact provide an app on the device for field recording. My old H2n was shipped with a cover foam (which I am now using :-))
- A plastic hard cover is missing as well
- Why mini USB and not USB-C?
