$200 and available in September. I like the new look, hopefully it will sound half-decent too.

New Zoom H2n Recorder

Looks nice, but I really need separate minijacks for headphone for monitoring (with volume indicator) AND line out for sending signal to camera (panasonic gh2). The tascam dr100 have this ability, but I find it bulky - especially when the XLR aren't very usefull with condenser mics (preamps are too noisy anyway).

My perfect sound recorder would be a more compact H4N with minijacks instead of XLR, being able to record two minijack (mono) tracks, in addition to the built in stereo mic, resulting in four sound tracks. E.g. two wireless clip mics (via minijack), and the built in mic.
And as mentioned, with line out to camera, in additon to headphoned for monitoring.
In other words, a combination of zoom h4n, tascam dr100, and the h2n - THAT would be something :)
 
This new recorder might be great for recording large groups of people, or when you want a quick and dirty way to record 360 degree surround sound.

The old H2 recorder was quite noisy, so I'm hoping that the "n" version is a lot better.
