Jeremy,

I would add the Tascam DR-100 to that list. I've just bought one for
=A3250 and am putting it through its paces. I've been using a Tascam
DR-1 (with an SQN mixer) which is fiddly but it gives good quality
recordings, but the DR-100 has XLR inputs with a phantom powering
option, so if you really want to go lightweight, that and a stereo
pair is all you need. I haven't measured the noise level yet, but it
sounds OK. It has two built in stereo cardioids and two mono mics but
they are hissy as expected.

It will run continuously, changing the file name when it reaches your
chosen file size, and also has a 2 second pre-record, and automatic
pause which I hope to use with recording bats with a bat detector.
