I use this digital recorder all the time, in interviews, meetings, potlatches.  When you want to record Elders, you need something that is not distracting.  If, instead,  I whip out my H4n,  the Elders don't like it, it looks like a space satellite, and in response want to rely on their own comfortable looking, 1970s era  cassette recorders, and I hafta put away my fancy H4n, and hope to get something for the future generations from those hiss-filled cassettes.   These digital recorders are built for musicians (like my wife) and do not take into account our use of them for recording Elders speaking First Nations languages.
