[microsound] hand-held recording reviews and ratings

[Salman Bakht]

i have an H2. i found the external mic input to be noisy, although i might have been doing something wrong. (i didn't troubleshoot since i had a minidisc recorder on hand.) i've used the internal mics plenty, though, and considering the price ($160 . . now $140 on amazon) and convenience, i think it was worth it.

anyway, with the main consideration of money (which i had), i think the goal is to find a recorder that's on sale just because there happens to be a newer version that just came out. it might allow you to look into a higher category of recorders than you expected.
