Comments about Sony PCM-D1 Linear PCM Field Recorder:
This is one hardcore piece of technology. No moving parts, awesome quality, practical functionality. I've owned mine for several months now. It's not as compact as other models and costs three times as much as the rest, but there's no reason this Sony PCM-D1 shouldn't last many many years. If you've got the cash and plan to use this thing for many years -- you won't regret your purchase. If you're a hobbyist, other "lesser" models will be totally adequate and cost far less. It sucks Sony won't include the $70 tripod considering the hefty price tag. But that's business.
