Tascam DR-40 Vs Zoom H4n what's right for you? - DSLR FILM NOOB

http://www.dslrfilmnoob.com/2011/09/29/tascam-dr-40-impressions/ I've had the Tascam Dr-40 for quit some time, but until Tascam added the firmware update that gives you independent control of the input volume, I hadn't really considered it a true competitor to the Zoom h4n.

Now that this feature is available, the Tascam is a very affordable alternative to the Zoom h4n. Take a close look at the features that are available for the h4n, if there is something that you can't live without, then it's the better choice. If not the Tascam DR-40 does a great job of recording audio, has a long battery life saves you about $150 compared to the Zoom h4n.

Unless you need the features, most people will be happy with the Tascam DR-40 for any audio project. But take a listen to the audio from both units and decide what's right for you.

As of this writing, you can buy the Tascam DR-40 for $150 here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NACC6M/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=dfn0c-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005NACC6M
