The PMD660 from Marantz is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but has features that make more expensive, full-sized field recorders green with envy. It can run for hours on just four AA batteries. It records on Compact Flash media in mono or stereo, compressed MP3 or uncompressed WAV. Editing can be achieved right there in the field using either of two editing modes, or you can use your favorite audio editing application by transferring files to your PC - the PMD660 even has its own USB port. XLR inputs, phantom power, built-in condenser mics and more - it's all there in the PMD660.
