I have found the H1 to have very nice sound, be great with batteries (just one) and to be able to pick up several voices well, in a large room. The downside is that it feels brittle, and causes people to worry about breaking the door off for the mini sd card.

I don't own the Tascam but in doing research, the 07 MK2 seems to have a lot of nice features, including doing a bit of "multi track" recording: I think it does two tracks, which for someone laying down an idea, is nice.

The reviews are all high but with the price of the DR 07mk2 coming down to near the $100 mark, it seems like a great buy. Reviewers say it is intuitive and seems to have a less 'brittle' feel to the plastic.

I did a lot of reading up on the Tascams. Reading the manuals is a big help.
