Rated 5/5

So far so good

I have the bluetooth version and so far it has been everything it promised to be. The Bluetooth app is basic and functional, and includes a meter. When the unit is connected via bluetooth you can't use any of the physical button controls on the unit for playback or recording control. However as soon as you disconnect (close the app, turn off BT), the unit immediately returns to normal functionality. On top of that you can re-pair via Bluetooth during recording and continue controlling remotely. I put the recording into my video editor of choice and the 32bit float WAV file worked as advertised. Be aware not every app has the full functionality for dealing with 32bit float files. Do a quick search for 32 bit float applications to get started. For the price and the 32 bit float I see this little ... oh my goodness did I forget to mention how small this thing is. A close comparison is slightly larger then 3 AA batteries side by side(see pic). As I was saying I think this will find it's way into many a videographers bag. Be aware this unit doesn't come with a micro SD card or a USB C cable. However even a small 16GB card will give 20+ hours of record time. As for the USB connection you can use it to transfer files and change a few settings.

Rated 4.5/5

Missing half a star

The only reason I'm giving it 4.5 is because I compared I did a side by side comparison with the Tascam DR-40 and the quality is a little clearer on the R-40... That said, it was in a controlled environment with no background noise, and that definitely helped the tascam. The Zoom might get the upper hand in noise set.
Convenience wise, the F2-BT is second to none. Small enough to even put in your pocket while you move around, and 32 bit float, no need to adjust input level. If all you need is to record 1 subject at a time, the F2 is the way to go.
Rated 5/5

Stunningly good sound

Have used this extensively - indoors and out. The built in limiter truly works. I have yet get have clipping occur due to wind or loud noises. Bluetooth app actually makes sense, is practical, and and easy to use.
