When I first saw this, I was a bit snobbish about it.  It looked like a toy, and unlike my other Zoom (H4n), this one does not work with XLR microphones and it does not have half the features of the bigger model.As it turns out, I was wrong.  This is a serious recorder.  It may lack a lot of the key features of the H4n, but it more than makes up for it on simplicity, weight and sound quality.Essentially although Zoom stripped out  a lot of features (and weight), they left the most important features intact... two perfectly matched microphones and outstanding recording quality.The most popular use for the H1 is to record separate audio for DSLR videos.  Because it's so small and light, you can easily get a mount to attach it right on top of your camera.Two things you should know about.1. There is no wind screen, so either use it inside or get one.  The microphones are super sensitive, and can pick up the smallest sounds... so wind will be a problem if you don't get a good windscreen.2. The case itself is sensitive... The microphones pick up the sounds of your hands holding it.  If you are not mounting it, try not to move your hands too much; it will pick up everything. 

Question: Was the audio quality good?
Answer: outstanding recording quality
