Just announced today.

The features look great. Although, no 32-bit recording (I was hoping for that following the F6). I've always been a fan of Zoom's designs, but I'm not sure about this one...



One of the cool new features coming with this recorder though is the new 2.0 capsule system, which allows the capsules to have up to 4 channels. Although, these may only be compatible with the H8... Might need to wait for updates to other recorders. H5n perhaps?

This capsule should be compatible with all Zoom recorders:

I'm hoping they release something like the H8 that incorporates the 4-channel capsule system, but without the center XLR, octagon section. I'm thinking something in the style of the F1, like this:
