There are probably better options for sound, but for under $300 new you can't beat it, though Zoom did just release a $99 version without the mic preamps.
Sounds like a killer "budget" combo! Mind to upload a video sample with audio?
I consider buying the lumix gh1 or even the canon 5d and seems like those zoom recorders along with the dslr would be great for handy portable recording!
