I don't think the internal mics are an issue though neither on the Zoom and especially not on the Ediroll. It's true you get some noise when handling a field recorder with a builtin mic, so you have to be careful.:-)
The built in mics in both machines sounded surpricingly clear too.

Right, he didn't say whether he was using an external mic package or the internal ones. The internals are not going to sound as good as externals no matter what you do in my limitted experience. Since they're built into the unit they get all the noise on and around the unit. Like when you set your field recorder on a table, you get... "clonk", even if you set it gently. The sony was only $100 more than the edirol, and I'd heard the controls on the edirol were a bit lacking, especially compaired with the r1 which is the only one of these units I actually got to hold in my hand before I bought it.

Best,

I'd really love to have a Sony Pc-Md50, but in Swedish money it's way beyond my budget, especially now when i want to have an Imac. I wonder why that fellow of yours didn't like the Zoom? Personally i find it very good. Ok, with the wrong mics, the external mike input is rather hissy, but with my Sound Professionals mics and even with the Church audio mics i have it sounds just fine.

I was going to buy the r09 for my sister. Boy am I glad I didn't. I asked the guy at the store to show me something to do the same job with a nicer control surface, and I got the sony pcm50. A! May! Zing! She hasn't picked it up yet, so it may get lost here soon and find it's way into my humble technology collection, smiles. We are both getting the custome built Churche Audio stc9000 microbinoral package, but I'll probably just plug mine into my macbook til I get the money for my own sony pcm50 or equivilant. Don't the big IPod jukebox players record? That would surprise me if they didn't, especially because a few of them or rockboxable. I looked at the zoom last year, but I mentioned to one of my live show taping compatriets that I was comparing the edirol, the iriver, and the zoom and leaning towards the zoom because of the significant price break. He told me he'd made some test recordings with the edirol and the zoom, and the zoom hadn't stacked up.

Welcome to the list. Still using the R-09? (smile)

Nope, actually i changed to a Zoom H2 which i found less noisy, but not before managing to change batteries and close the compartment.:-) Wonder if there are recordable ipods, that is Ipods with recording on them?:)
