"My goal is getting all recording off camera and less tweaking in post. I can picture using an H2 to record the DJ's speaker using an e604 (mainly for toasts) but would also like something to replace my onboard cam ambient audio." Rick, if you purchase and use the H2 for live micing, then don't even bother using the E604, as it won't be necessary. Just use the built in mics (4 of em), set recorder to 2 or 4 channels mic mode (you can now record from both sides of the mic), set your external gain to L (low), and set audio record levels to at least 100 (106 seems to be good sweet spot for me). The H2 was really designed to be a mic recorder. Hell you can record through both sides of the mic, which will give you more recoding capabilities that you can never do with just one E604 or any affordable mic. Yes you have the ability to record external mic or line in, but while teh H2 will do a very acceptable job for this, there are better recorders out there for that if you ask me. But for quick, excellent audio setup and capture, the H2 will be best when utilized just as a 5.1 surround mic recorder. And at only $199, the best value in it's class at that. Michael Cameras: I do use them. Audio: Yes, it does come with audio if you like. Software: I am learning... Support: I need all that i can get. Computer: MAC BABY!
