Serious battery drain when not in use
This unit does exactly what it's supposed to, and does it well. I'm very satisfied with its performance.
However, I own three of these, and when turned off, they all drain a fresh battery in about 24 hours. Apparently Zoom/Samson acknowledges that this is a problem with many of the units they've manufactured, and will fix the problem when found, but I'd prefer to have a recorder that doesn't have basic problems, and not have to go through all the rigmarole required and the time spent to send it back to the manufacturer for a fix.
If you buy this recorder, and you get a bad one, you can either send it back or put the battery in only when you use it.
