Crap aside.. Actually there is absolutely no need for such a device. The quality gained is lost in compression into mp3 anyway. I would say the only benefit of the H4 for podcasts is the stereo seperation that can be acheived, and I find it useful when recording a group of people. As, in such a case, listerners can create mental ideas of which speaker sitting where.. and thus have more comprehension of the conversation. I bought the H4 not for podcasting only, but for some other projects as well. So it will serve multiple purposes for me. Why don't you come down to one of ur recordings and we can talk about this?

For the features and quality, it's a good deal. Other in the same league can cost in thousands.. For eg. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/item--SNYPCMD1" rel="nofollow">This one from Sony</a> OK lah..

It's pretty damaging.. I got it for S$400. And that was a good deal. It can go at around ~$550 otherwise. @malique

Ofcourse the microphones are really good quality. But might be over the top, unless you are looking for almost production quality.. If you want, we can try it once.. :P @malique.
