5.0 out of 5 stars High quality professional equipment 29 May 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a very high-quality professional-standard voice recorder. It's easy to operate and the quality is first-class. Have used it for professional voiceovers - with excellent results. It has an excellent range of features, and I highly recommend it. Very flexible for use in-the-field for interviews, etc. A veritable professional recording studio that you can easily carry with you into all sorts of situations. First-class machine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Voice Recoding Excellence 3 Sep 2010
I use this for the recording of interviews in my job and for taking of statements, this is the best sound recorder I have used, the files are excellent quality and can be used on a Mac as well as a Windows machine, better than the Sony product I used previously. Well worth the cost - you get what you pay for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning recording quality - And I am a musician. 4 April 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
If I were to say anything much about this product it would simply reflect the five-star reviews here, so I'll not waste time going over old ground.

I would add however that a windjammer shield is a necessary addition for minimising wind-noise if recording outdoors (orchestrals in particular) due to musical expressions and extended volume variations invariably common in such music.

Amazon fortunately sell suitable wind-shields, but if there's one desirable accessory missing from the line-up it is the silicone jacket - evidently available from elsewhere in the USA, or as part of an (expensive) bundled recorder/accessory kit from only one UK seller I could mention.

If you are holding this device in your hand whilst recording anything where handling noise is important (not an unreasonable expectation), the higher friction afforded by a soft silicone jacket is essential to minimise small handling noises that will be picked up by the robustly-mounted on-board mics. The alternatives are a dedicated handle and mount assembly or external mics - both expensive, otherwise unnecessary, and far less convenient for impromptu recording sessions.

It would be entirely fair to argue that recording professional-quality live performances would typically involve a fixed tripod/shock-mount assembly, with start-stop recording controlled by the sweet little remote control after the sound-checks are complete, but a pity that the silicone jacket doesn't appear to be generally available to UK buyers for this superb piece of gear.

The only other minor negative is the enclosed carry-case includes a small pocket for the tiny remote control and accompanying receiver, but to bundle other useful cables in the same bag could scratch the unit case or display. You therefore need a bigger bag to keep the supplied kit together.

Regardless, it get's my highest possible recommendation in this price bracket (and possibly most else sub-£800).
