"I have used a lot of field recorders including, Nagra, Zoom H4, Sound Devices 702 and others... This recorder is outstanding. It has extremely quiet mic-preamps.

"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 …" Read Full Review »
