I have been a fan of this little device for a long time. I keep one in
my photo/audio kit as a back-up recorder. The audio quality and rugged
build make it a great bargain. Clearly not intended for critical
recording but hard to beat for capturing that moment you might otherwise
have missed. The built-in mics are surprisingly good, especially to my
older ears. Handling noise is a problem but that comes with the territory.
