H4 I bought a couple of years ago, I wanted a convenient four-recorder. not ok for this. I think that for the multi-track recordings (what, I play all four songs one at a time) this does not best device. However, use as a stereo device for recording field has worked well. I was replacing a worn minidisk, and this was the best I could find. I still have a little as the minidisk (Sharp) improved somewhat, but the H4 does not have a good quality sound with the built-ins.
I am not an electronics geek, I am an almost-60 female who loves to tinker with things and that reasonably computer literate. H4 had more "features" than I ever wanted, what record brass (such as a brass quintet) and occasional strings. So I do not need or want to find guitar effects and having to pay for those features of a pain.
Screen difficult to read. The manual decipherable, but only with the study. I never understood why do not just take the time to do it in English instead of translating any language is. How, why do not want to make it user friendly for people who are not fanatics electronics. Maybe the rest of us would be able to understand it too.
All of us that said, the quality of recording, with the construction of microphones was better than I expected, even the tuba recorded well. Not professional-sounding, but you need a microphone $10k to do professional sound. It did not look any better with my $400 stereo microphone, so I just use the built-ins. I used a tripod about ten meters away from the quintet.
Easily transfer files to my Mac and I can put together what I want in GarageBand and even cut a CD if I want.
I'm not worried about the weak-ness of it, I am old enough that I did not expect to take a beating. It frustrating to try to read the small screen that small defined or well for the big eyes.

I will reccomend you to my collegues. I would gladly pay over $600 for Zoom H4. Zoom H4 is the most valuable business resource we have EVER purchased.
