Hi DanI have been using a Sony PCM D100 as a portable recorder for impromp=
tu recordings for around 6 months. I would say its better than my previous =
portable set up - an LS100 with paired EM172s into the xlr ports.=A0Only do=
wnside with the Sony (apart from no xlr and it's heavier=A0than my LS100) i=
s i find the mics are very wind sensitive. Depends where you are recording =
but in open areas i had to experiment a lot to cut wind noise. I ended up g=
etting a custom made deadcat for it.Here's an example of my Sony with the m=
ics at 120 deg, on a lyre, using the regular supplied deadcat.=A0

Towards the end you can hear the stereo soundstage quite well, though since=
this was recorded i have mostly used it in XY.
Cheers

I carry an Olympus LS-11 in the side pocket of my pack for opportunities.
