Take a look at the Olympus LS-10. I have used both it and the Edirol,
and they are both good - but the Olympus seems a bit sturdier.
http://www.soundprofessionals.com is a good place to look at
microphones. They have everything from shotgun mics to ear-worn
binaurals. And, of course, this list is the best resource there is.
Hope this helps a little - and have fun recording!
