Which Digital Recorders to Get?

[wombater]

Hi,

Seems like there are a lot of digital recorders (Sony, Olympus, Edirol, Zoom, Yamaha, etc) on the market with a wide range of prices. Does anyone have recommendation?

Some critieria would be price (budget around S$300-400), ease of use, battery life, and anything else that I should look out for. I will be using it to record live performances.

Thx in advance for feedback.

The popular one is the Zoom H2 & H4.

IMO you can't really go wrong with that.

i same for me, options would probably the latest h4n soon to arrive within this month..better construction quality and adjustable builtin xy mics

Zoom H2...value for price performance ratio...amazing recording quality.

What are the prices for the H2 and H4 and where to purchase them in Singapore?

Oh....another thing. Does H2 or H4 allow reduced playback speeds?
