Well I have had my MZ-NH900 for over 1) month and I love it. It has exceeded my expectations. I have recorded using both the mic input and line level input and have had excellent results in both modes. I see the limitations as only me, the operator. I have been using it as a practice tool and to make simple demo CD's. Very pleased. The batterry capability has come in handy. There will always be some feature I would like to see (like a back light), however for the price I cannot bring myself anywhere near complaining. Highly recommend.
