At first, I wasn't sold on the Zoom H1E because I felt that it was a bit noisy. Probably, because, me being me, went to an extreme and raised the gain in post from a tiny signal far too much.
32 bit isn't the 'be all and end all' thing to use, but actually, since my first reaction, my feelings towards this budget recorder have really changed.
In real usage, noise doesn't seem to be that much of a problem since the amount of gain needed in post isn't that much normally. The biggest gain is at the other end though, because you really can shout into the microphone and bring it down in post with no clipping.
So for what it costs, this is an excellent buy and is capable of capturing some nice recordings; even on its internal microphones.
It's a very basic recorder, but it does the job. Switch on and press record. That's it. Ideal for those quick video grab moments.
For this video, I used the onboard mics all the way through and found no problem at all with noise levels and the clarity is pretty good.
