Missing some of the analog features of the DR-100, but control dial looks much better. Zoom H4n killer?

I have been going back and forth on the DR-100 and H4n for a few weeks. Anyone have insights into how this might compare?]]> Tascam DR-40 and the GH2 http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/5608/tascam-dr-40-and-the-gh2 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 13:33:26 +0000 Mckinise 5608@/talks/discussions I am trying to use the GH2 (Pasadena Pulse Audio/Flow Motion 2.02) with a Tascam DR-40.

I a using an Audio Technica with XLR phantom power attached to the DR-40, and the DR-40 Attached to the GH2.

I noticed there are 4 levels on the GH2:

Level 1: Level 2: Level 3: Level 4:

What is the best level for recording dialog?

What settings will work best for getting crisp, clear sound with very little noise?
