All Sharp recorders are standard minidisc, so you'll
get only 80 minutes of stereo recording on each disc.

If this is acceptable, the MD-DR7 and its successor,
the MD-DR77, are good recorders.  Both have a pre-
roll buffer that continuously captures the last few
seconds of audio while in record/pause.  When you
release pause, these few seconds are written to
the disc.  This is a great feature when you're
waiting for a bird to start vocalizing.  No other
consumer-grade minidisc machine has this feature.
