Sony ICD-UX71PINK Digital Voice Recorder with 1GB Flash Memory

I have an ICD-UX70. It records voice OK in a large conference room, although the sound from a distance is rather tinny (I found the best results by having the unit within 2m of the person speaking). The unit is very light and small - almost too small to accurately push the buttons if you had thick fingers. The BEST feature is that the ICD-UX70 allows the recorded audio mp3 files to be dragged and dropped to your computer via USB connection!

My only complaint is that the unit requires an approximate 10 second wake-up time from being in the OFF/On Hold mode before playing or recording can be done - so that if I want to record something instantly I'd miss the first 10 seconds.

This is the second of this model I have purchased (pink for my wife). The recording hours is excellent. Maneuvering your way around to find certain recordings is a bit of a pain. Very easy to upload to your recorded files to a computer.

I bought this to record music rehearsals and it's just what I need. I found the sound quality to be great and I love that I can plug it into my USB cable in my car and play it through my radio! Highly recommended!
