The mention of recording with a DSLR camera reminded me that my somewhat
‘ancient’ Panasonic NV-GS15GN Digital Video camera records audio in stereo in
PCM mode sampling at 16 bit (48 kHz/2 channel) or 12 bit (32 kHz/4 channel).
There is a socket for an external stereo microphone.
Don’t ask me to explain the recording jargon but it does all sound reasonably
good to me, both the specifications and the actual sound.
I haven’t done any serious audio recording and editing with this camcorder but
I have recorded frog sounds by using the unit as if taking a video but with the
lens cap in place.
I haven’t kept any of the recordings for any length of time but have simply
listened to the recordings to see how many different frog species I could make
out in each event.
Quite effective.
So, another alternative which some birders may already have is a digital
camcorder.
