If you've been shooing with DSLR's you've probably used the Zoom H4n audio recorder.
Now, there's new contender, the Tascam DR-40. What's the big differences for recording audio?
1. Price, the DR-40 cheaper, less than $200 bucks.
2. Dual Recording Mode captures a safety track at a lower level to avoid distortion, sort of like recording channels 1&2 at 0 db and 3&4 at -3.
3. The DR-40 has locking XLR inputs. Working with the Zoom always makes me nervous because the cables don't lock in and a kick out is possible.

But I've used the Zoom a bunch and is it better the devil you know?
