On some other forums i frequet i've heard people singing the praises of the new Zoom h4 mobile recorder/audio interface product, but I was surprised to find nothing about it on this site. Anyone have any experience using it for home studio recordings?
It has a USB interface with two built in condenser mics for stereo recording, and has imputs for external mic's as well. I'm not sure if it has built-in preamps, as i can't find much info on it. Here's one review i found to give you an idea:

I would be interested in using it primarily to set up a simple homestudio, although the ability to use it as a field recorder would be nice as well. I have dynamic mic's already (SM 57s) so my thought is this one purchase giving me condenser mic's and an audio interface would be all i need to get started doing some good recordings. I won't be doing any midi. Thoughts?
