Zoom H4n handheld audio recorder, hands on
Update (4/19/2009): CNET now has a full review of the Zoom H4n.
I practically squealed when I saw Zoom's new H4n professional handheld audio recorder on display at CES 2009. The $350 recorder was announced just a few days ago with hazy details on when it might hit store shelves, but lo and behold, here it was hanging out in the Samson booth, dressed up with full retail packaging.
To read my first impressions, take a look through our Zoom H4n slide show, fresh from the showfloor of CES 2009.
