RE: Bird recording equipment - Minidisc?

["Colin Trainor" <>]

Hi all,

Based on Carl's suggestion, I've honed in on the Sony PCM-D50 handheld
audio recorder.

I've read some reviews, but not by birders.

Does anyone have comments on this recorded, with external mic, for
recording birds.

Thanks,

Colin

Subject: Bird recording equipment - Minidisc?

Hi all,

I'd like to update my recording equipment for bird calls.

I currently use a large-heavy Sony Professional Recorder with Sennheiser
ME 66 Mic.

I'd like something lighter, with long battery time (and preferably AA
batts and nothing chargeable for long field visits of >3 weeks), and can
record up to 10 hrs or so.

I've looked on the internet (and Birding Aus archives) for Minidisc
recorders and then Hi-MD recorders, but these seem to be heading towards
extinction.

Is there something small, light and new on the market to replace
Minidiscs.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Colin Trainor
