Difference between Digital Recorders: Zoom H4n, Roland R-05 and Tascam DR-40?

I was wondering if there is a difference in sound quality between different digital recorders such as Zoom H4n, Roland R-05 and Tascam DR-40 when a boom mic is used instead of the mic on the recorder? I've been trying to find the comparisons for the digital recorders mentioned before on the internet but all I could find was just the ones tested on the onboard mic. I will to use the recorder on my film set with my boom mic by the way. I understand that every recorder is different but all I know is they're different in functions but in terms of quality? Someone please enlighten me
 
Mics sound different. If you use an external mic with your recorder it will sound different from the internal mic. Use whichever is most appropriate for the situation. In other words, use an EV 635A for ENG style interviews and a Sennheiser MKH416 for movie style dialog.
