We use H2 recorders to record music exams in Victoria.
We can fit a whole day (around 6-7 hours) onto a single 2Gig SD card and
the quality of the recordings is excellent. We don't have to worry about
playback on the units. One feature that might be annoying for some users
is that you have to take the screw-on stand off to change SD cards.
I think there may be a limit to the capacity of card you can use, but I'm
not sure.
