Bellow the expectations, but still good!

I've waited for the updated, "pro" version for several years and bought it as soon as possible.
The first impression was disappointing, as the device made a lot of cracking noises when held in the hand, due to the battery block being loosely covered. Adding more rubber foam under the cover helped a bit. The overall feeling is still quite too plastic for this price.

Regarding the sound quality, I'm also quite surprised to get a constant, shallow hum with both internal and external microphones. RX Noise reducers helped to get usable results, but I expected it to be better. For the sensitive tracks, I'll still use my RME in the studio.

Maybe I've just expected too much from the next-gen converters, while it's still just a portable field recorder.

Excellent sound quality
Audiogram78 09.06.2025
I've owned the Zoom H5, H1N, H1 Essential, and I currently own the F3

Compared to the H5, the self noise seems lower, handling noise is a little worse. The mics are much larger and the recorder body is substantially larger but a little lighter. The sound is more detailed. The mics also seem more sensitive.

Display is an improvement. Like that they kept AA batteries instead of some non-replaceable lithium batteries

It's plastic bodied and the mics are rather exposed with no cage, so try not to drop it. Otherwise recommended
