I need a hand held field recorder to collect some sound for a short film. where I am going I need to be a bit discreet so the last thing I want is a rig like Sound Device with a long boom walking around...to be a target. I am looking at the Zoom H4, Sony PCMD50, Sony PCM-D1. any suggestion. I would collect sound and run back to my hotel at night to upload. crazy weather condition where I am going so need something reliable and tought. any suggestion? thanks |

I have to admit, I bought a Zoom H4 and took it to India for a couple weeks and was amazed at the quality of recordings I got from those cheap ass mics that are built in!! Totally usable source material that I am using in a game right now. For the money, I think I paid $275 for it, it is worth every penny. 24/96 wav's, built in mic. Perhaps not considered a pro piece, it can yield pro results that won't break the bank or bum you out to bad if it gets crushed in the field. |

| Save $$
Just get a $299 M-Audio Microtrack II and save money. It not only uses up to 8Gig cards but has full 48V powered mic pre's and..... (and this is why I like it) a 24/96 s.p.d.i.f input from any a/d your heart desires.
