What quality settings did you record in? My battery lasted less than two hours on the Zoom.

The biggest factor IME with the Zoom is whether you've got phantom power switched on.
Generating 48v phantom from AA batteries in order to use condenser mics sucks the power from small field mixers very fast. No phantom? Long runs. Phantom on? Bring LOTS of batteries and be prepared to swap them often. |

For sure, the Tascam has a better power solution in that it has a rechargeable battery AND a separate slot of AA's. 3 way power. But the charger has to be purchased separately for about $24. |
