I've been thinking about buying a digital field recorder and was hoping for some input from the board. Any tips to get the best value? The Zoom H2n and the Roland R-05 are both within my price-range but I wonder if there are any other brands and models I should consider. It's imperative that the sound is good and that it is easy to use and easy to hook up to my computer via usb.
So, any thoughts?

ive got a zoom H2 (new design looks cooler!) and im quite satisfied with it, specially with its buildin mics, really high quality recording and lots of possibilities (90/120/360º). Inside options also fucking cool (compressor, noise rduction, diferent types of gains...). i have just some complains about external microphone use (what i first bought it for, binaural-stereo input), i get a bit of noise and it sucks a bit (but maybe its the wire, i just got one with minijack ending, havent checked with another, but happening with all microphones).

checking specifications of boths machines, apparently they are almost the same thing. H2 cant record as MP3, R05 cant have 360º 4 channel recordings. without havent checked R05, i would say H2 is slightly better as it is a bit more versatile for different kind of recordings

Thank you for your insight, melack. I ended up getting the Zoom H4n and I love it. I'm just getting started but this is the piece of equipment I need. I'll probably spam this site later, so beware...
