It takes two standard jacks, the sockets for which are in the middle of the standard three pin mic sockets. So with standard jack adapters you can plug pretty much anything you want into it. The three pin sockets give phantom power out as well.
The newest version of the H4 allows 4 track simultaneous recording. Two tracks from the built in mics and two tracks from the external.
I would also consider batteries when you buy a recorder. Built in batteries can run out of juice just when you most need them, with the H4 it takes two AA batteries and you can carry a few spare with you just in case.
I think the problem these days is that's there's a lot of choice out there. All i can add is that i'm extremely pleased with my H4.
