For the money, it's a pretty good digital recorder. I've used it as a field microphone for videos and the sound quality and stereo separation is quite good. It's very sensitive to wind, though, so you'll want a wind screen. For narration, I think the sound quality is a little tinny, but it's easy to adjust for that in post.
It's very easy to use for the most part, though the sensitivity pattern indicators are a little confusing. The diagram on the microphone for the X+Y setting points the wrong direction. The manual is correct and is worth reading.
