I bought my Sony in person at B&H, since it was a local dealer at the
time I needed it!
But be forewarned that you won't find it in their selection of
professional field recorders.
They consider it in the class of 'voice recorder'. I protested that
classification, but at the price point and size, I suppose they have
a point.
Plus it's hysterical to go into that store and go through their
multiphase checkout process.
Wish I could get price protection, though!
