I, too, benefited greatly from this post! Many thanks to Avbenbaer and John Elison. I was not aware of the "hand-held digital recorder" market until this post. I did a lot of homework on the features of the Tascam line, the Zoom's, and Sony. The unit I feel will best meet my needs is the Sony PCM-D10, which I ordered from Sweetwater last night. I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas.

Did you check out the TASCAM DR-100 Mk III? What did you find with the Sony that was worth $200 more?

Thanks!

  Sure.
  Most things being equal, as far as sound quality, I would have been happy with the Tascam, but a few extras pushed my choice to the Sony.
  1. Mic / line switching for both XLR and 3.5 mini jack inputs
  2. 16GB internal memory and SD card up to 256GB
  3. Battery life from 32-44 hours plus USB power input
  4. 2 second start up time
  5. Input volume control dial numbered for quick reference
  6. Bluetooth playback
  7. Includes smart phone app for basic functions as a remote control
  
  These may not add up to $200 but I have also owned many Sony products with zero defects, and the
  Bluetooth function will be nice while driving the car, with USB power.
