Sony PCM-D50 in users' hands

[ozpeter]

http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,92069.150.html has user pics and initial comments on the Sony PCM-D50 flash recorder, which might appeal to certain RH-1 users looking for an upgrade path within the Sony family. (Don't read any particular comment from me into the phrase "upgrade path" - I realise that for many of us, nothing will represent "up" from Hi-MD!). The user seems gobsmacked with the mic input quality, so perhaps Sony have put some of their Hi-MD-learned-lessons into that.

I knew they would , I had said that I believed they would put at least the equivalent of the RH1 if not better into it . One look at the data sheet confirms it .

One guy on the forum said that the mics in the D1 werent very good when compared to his AKG 426 , ( I thought to myself , JEEEZ dude that mic cost three times what the D1 does , waadya expect??????) 3000 dollar mic , going into a 2000 dollar recorder ,......... and the guy complains , ya'll thought I WAS bad .......whew!

Pix of D50 against Hi-MD machines have been posted at http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,9...html#msg1263368 - it looks rather large by comparison - but it looks "the business"....
