Well I have had my MZ-NH900 for over 1) month and I love it. It has exceeded my expectations. I have recorded using both the mic input and line level input and have had excellent results in both modes. I see the limitations as only me, the operator. I have been using it as a practice tool and to make simple demo CD's. Very pleased. The batterry capability has come in handy. There will always be some feature I would like to see (like a back light), however for the price I cannot bring myself anywhere near complaining. Highly recommend.

Thanks all for replies......after digging through the site I am going to get the 900...seems like it will give me what I need, which is basic recording capability, with the added flexibility of regular batteries... Mike

I play in a small jazz band and would like to record us live, as to have something to practice off of. I was looking at getting an sony mz-nh1. I need a microphone input. Can I do this with an i pod? I like the idea of an ipod but need the mic input. Otherwise is the sony mz-nh1 a good choice for me or is there one you feel would be better. The quality of both the sonics and physical are important to me.
