Hi Rob,

Yes, but those at least are cardioids, so you get a more 'traditional' stereo 
image (XY, etc.).  I'm pretty surprised to see Sony move to omnis with this 
recorder; it doesn't seem to make any sense.

I'll be really interested to hear any comparison recordings between this and 
the other Sonys, or between what seems to be its closest competitor in size, 
price, and audio quality, the Edirol R09-HR....
