The real question here isn't why he'd need more memory but rather where did he find it would cost him another $100? I recall only paying about $30 or so for a 16GB Sandisk Mobile Ultra2 microSD card last December.
I'm in NYC right now. "Home of the Bargains"
;-)
While B&H & Dale pro Audio are here, I didn't find any "deals" that might have tempted me into an M10
So far, it looks like the only way to get one for anything that resembles the prices in these threads is through the mail. Today, door-to-door, it is about (let's just go look...) uhm...
$206.91 shipped from J&R. (3-5 business days.)
$230.90 with the 16GB memory card.
Not too shabby. Lets say you order on a monday and it shows up on a friday, that's about all you could ask for in the $240 price range.
Pretty much beats everything else on the market.
Unfortunately it is saturday and my last 2 recordings in town will be Sunday & Monday.
Thanks for the help, you guys, hope the Amazon research helps someone out later...
What are you guys successfully running as far as shirt-pocket-sized preamps through this thing?
My only complaint about the M10... and the thing that always has me shopping for a PMD620... is that you can't modify it, you just need another piece of gear.
I really (stupidly of me) miss my old Oade Mod SBM1 > M1 rig, even though it meant too many cables and using the RCA jacks. I guess that's just me missing the old days, but now that we have the successor to the M1, what kind of (tiny) preamp color would you recommend?
