    I bought the H4n (and 2 lesser models) around 2010 or so and it completely changed my life. As someone is talking and walking across the room it happens in the recording. It's amazing. Plus...the 50 really great effects!

    Nice Job, Sam, I really appreciate this comparison. You've helped me make my decision. With both recording devices being the exact same price, I was stumped. The Tascam DR-40X is better for my purposes. I wish you all the best. Another reason I like the D40x is that the controls are the same as with their other smaller models. No learning curve there :)
