Or even better, word-clock. SMPTE does not work on small digital recorders.

And I agree on all the recommendations. Another suggestion might be two Sound Devices 702. These are proved rugged, with good preamps and can easily be synched. You might want to buy one and rent the second.

I have tested my 722 against a MR1000, and my ears cannot believe this vogue about DSD recordings. Clearly the MR1000 has better sounding headphone amps, easily heard even without recording, but once a at home they sound very similar. A good mark for the lower price MR I believe, but nothing to be very excited about.

As for jungle recordings, well, the traditional advice surely would be Sennheiser MKH mics. Supposedly better suited to humid environments than most other condensors.

As for underwater recordings (also asked for), my guess is that this is something completely different.
