I did a lot of recordings with the Edirol R09, the Zoom H2 and the M-Audio Microtrack ii.
I hate to say this. But the absolute winner is the M-Audio. Better sound, quieter, and much less handling noise. I don't work for any of them, I'm just a musician. I would never accept lying even if they paid me a lot to do so. Sorry Roland, and sorry Zoom. But that is the truth.
Zoom H2 was better than the others...having the XY mic arrangement was what set it apart...no phase problems...Id love to Hear my Yamaha pocketrak CX in a comparason since it blows these away.
First of all, the video cam audio is an auto record level and is compressed resulting in greater bass response.
A very good free program for editing and making mp3's is called Audacity. Search for it.
I had a Tascam DR-1 (no longer available) which is probably very similar to the Tascam tested here. It had very good sound, better that what is evidenced in this test. I would think it is probably the best of the three and I, too, suspect that the levels are not set correctly.
moliba11 was right: edirol boxy and thin, last one sensitive and zoom 2 the fullest sound. I had one Zoom for a year and a half and it merely stopped functioning all of the sudden (I didn't drop it). I was told by the technician (as it was no more under warranty) that it would cost me at least 120 bucks to send it to the manufacturer and they could let me know a price that it would drop my jaw. He calculated me that I had it for 50 cents/day and that's it. Maybe I'll buy another one though.
Anyone have advice on a good MP3 program to use to partition tracks from Digital Recorders? Before I start the Google search was wondering if there are any free ones that are recommended Thanks
me too. vid cam mic sounded best, but I don't think the edi or the tascam had the input limits set properly. it sounded like there was peak distortion

Whatever was used at the start of the video was the best--full, open, no distortion.

Audacity is an excellent free program. You will probably have to download the mp3 encoder that goes with it, too.
