Sony ICD-PX720
$60.00
Released January, 2007
The Pros:Easy to hold and use - buttons are logically laid out. Excellent storage system--can hold up to 99 separate voice recordings in each of 5 different folders. Microphone picks up both high and low frequencies well with two sensitivity settings for individual and group recording.
The Cons:Only Windows compatible and even then it requires special software for file transfer rather than drag-and-drop use. Does NOT record data natively as MP3 (files must be converted with the included software). Nothing covers the USB port, making it more vulnerable to damage.
The Sony ICD-PX720 is an ultra-portable digital voice recorder compatible with all major Microsoft operating systems, including Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business Ultimate). It records dictation on 1GB of internal flash memory that can handle up to 280 hours of recording in LP mode.
