My camera has damaged input for the mic, so i heavily rely on this to record audio, and it has not failed me once.

Price

This product is exactly what i was needing and wanting and at such a good price.

Competitiveness

You can spend more on other recorders, but this little recorder is a great buy at this price point.

Even with other advanced recent tascams, this recorder will last me for years.
