Tascam DR-100 MKII Review & Comparison To Zoom H4N

by

Small, portable audio recorders have become much more popular since the start of the s0-called DSLR revolution.  Of course they have always been around in the professional industry but when people began filming with DSLRs they quickly realized that the sound on those cameras was simply awful.  A solution was needed and a great many people jumped on the Zoom H4N as that solution.  At the time when the 5D MK2 was released there weren’t a lot of options at a price point that made sense to someone who is only shooting with a camera worth a few thousand dollars.
