OVERVIEW:
This recorder is probably one of my favorite budget AUDIO tools out there, and the good news is it's quite popular on Ebay (and can even be found on Amazon, without Prime shipping, in my region at least). This recorder records at 1536Kbps using the ATJ2129 pen chip, and is really small (compared to most Zoom recorders) but it's the biggest of the generic ones I’ve tested. The good thing about this being bigger, is that it has a bigger screen, though still I find the screen a little bit difficult to see (viewing angle issues) but it has the standard audio level indicator with a -12 designation, so I'm happy.

CONCLUSION:
These reviews are just my opinion and are focused on my Q.P.A.C.E. packing method, so they're not comprehensive. I wrote these mostly to help me remember what items worked for my KIT PLANS (and which didn't). If I said anything negative I apologize, as these products still may work well for you in your situation, but they were not Q.P.A.C.E (Quality, Portable, Affordable, Common, Easy-to-Use) enough for my budget filmmaking KIT PLANS.
