With the release of the F8, Zoom have massively upped their game to compete with the top dogs in field recording. Packing some surprisingly good pre-amps, the F8 is a perfectly respectable option for professional TV and film. Not only this, but with 8 mic level inputs and a light body, this is a great recorder for Ambisonics and surround recording. A breeze to use, the F8 also features Timecode, a user friendly interface and a remote control iOS app!
