I've been real happy with my Sharp MD 702 or 702. Records well with no limiting. Has a mic/line input. Halfway decent battery time with an optional booster pack. Great editing features. and Cost me about $150 with the $50 buck rebate they gave on it when they were blowing them out 2-3 years ago. It's also NOT a clamshell design which in my mind seems really fragile and exposes the internal stuff to possible damage. -Miko Biffle "Running scared from all the usual distractions!"
