Zoom H2 Issues

Hey guys,

I know this isn't really the place, but I wanted to let you know what
my experience has been with the H2. I've been evaluating it for use on-
body to record from lavs, but have been disappointed in its
performance so far... Hey, for $200, what can you expect? :)

The thread detailing my travails is here:

not noticed the whine problem your account describes, although i found
that plugging a sony stereo mic directly into h2 didn't sound as good
as the internal even though the sony mic (ecm s959) sounded good into
an MD and cost more than the h2.
i HAVE noticed something similar to internal mics being 'ON' when
plugging in an external mic; i found this only happened when using h2
with MENU>MONITOR>ON. it seems that what h2 mean by 'monitor' is
something like 'preview'. i did not record with this set up so i don't
know if it goes to 'file'.
