The sound quality of the recorder is extremely accurate, very good quality and an excellent value and it will serve the needs of everybody and anybody. The Lav mic which is included with the recorder is OK, but I think there are better mics out there (for the money), while this mic will serve the needs of many, it's acceptable for the price but you can do better if you're willing to spend the money, and if your needs are demanding. The user interface is good, but just a bit complicated, while the directions are good, these directions are unique, and you may have a couple false starts when you start to use this. Once you understand what to do and what not to do, you will be pleased with the interface, and will get the outstanding results that people have come to expect out of zoom products.

Cannot be trusted for any serious production (1-year review)
I have 3 of these Zoom F2 recorders that I have used over the past year, on commercials, short films, video, interviews, YouTube etc. Every single Zoom F2 has had issues with recording audio properly at some point - I have lost audio on every one of these at various points. Now I'm throwing them in the drawer forever and writing this review to warn others. I have worked with these recorders using a variety of batteries and at least 3 different kinds of SD cards. The recorders are easy to operate, however sometimes the indicator lights will say it's all good, but the recorder won't record - and you'll only find out once you plug into your SD card reader. I have 2 of the old version and 1 of the new version of the F2, tested both with new and old firmware, two of them had recording issues, one would just stop working at times. The mic that comes with it is decent, but the windscreen falls off easily. Battery life is good, 32-bit float is great to have, but NONE OF THIS MATTERS if the recorder cannot be trusted in the field to do its job. I wouldn't even trust these for low-end production or even backup audio, as there are better and equally priced alternatives out there.
