1. 96K,24bit
2. At least 2GB internal mem (+SD addition)
The other MAJOR factor is PORTABILITY. I do a lot of hiking/traveling, and its' VITAL that I can carry a small, lightweight device. If it's a big one I won't use it, and so will be a waste.
SO... I've narrowed it down to:
Yamaha C24
Yamaha CX
Olympus LS11
Does anybody know how the mics compare between the Yamaha and the Olympus?
Also, anyone have an opinion whether the XY mic config of the Olympus and the CX are much better than the regular L/R of the C24?
(the C24 is the lightest/smallest, but only marginally, and if the CX or Olympus has better quality mics I'd rather use those).

I think the best of the small recorders is probably the Sony PCM-D50.
For my small recorder I have the Olympus LS-10, the new LS-11 is better. It's small, pocketable and instinctive in use. It's great for carry everywhere use; bit for serious recurring I would go for the Sony D-50.
