Hi,
perhaps I missed something... 4mics ?  doesn't the Zoom H4 have a pair of
mini condenser mics angled in an X-Y pattern?

I just reviewed the new Zoom H2 for Acoustic Guitar magazine (March 2008,
Emmylou Harris on the cover). The fidelity is stupid good, even if you
happen to slightly overload the input. The four mics really do a great
pseudo-surround sound effect. I'd love to A/B the H2 against some of the
other hand-held recorders. At$200 US, it's a pretty sweet bargain.
