I have this camera for over a year, this is my first portable recorder. I love the recording quality on the built-in microphones that pass very, very well extremely severe (storms ...) as the input line. You can save directly to WAV or MP3. A small built-in HP allows fast control of the recording.

Note that the version 2 firmware includes a tuner fully operational.

The autonomy of NiMh batteries is amazing, long hours of recording.

Indeed, the accessories are quite expensive but useful.

The remote comes home and prevents handling noise.
