Re: the point and shoot recorder

["oryoki2000" oryoki2000]

To my way of thinking, a "point and shoot" recorder
should be small enough to carry in a pocket, hold
in one hand, and have built-in mics.

Here's a list of recorders available in the marketplace
today that meet these criteria, listed in order of weight.
Each has its strengths and weaknesses.
