The review is so long that it continues into the 'comments' section below.
Obviously this is more a point and shoot device than a fully fledged recorder but for everyday carrying around and some stealth situations, it seems to be a worthwhile upgrade from the SX750 which I have for that kind of purpose. For use with internal mics I actually prefer the better stereo image of the SX750 to the M10, though the M10 does better at the bottom end. The SX712 appears to have a better mic system than the 750.
The "Scene" system allows you to have five preset setups memorised - neat.

instead of the other Dictaphones from sony this really looks like an M10 in a minimized form factor. for >:D with church gear should be a nice option. Sad it can't do 24 Bit. But the internal circuits starting from 40 Hertz so you can get rid of the Bass Rolloff Switch.

Cutoff at 40hz means that for me it's not a music recorder. Woof!

Also available from Sony as a refurb for $90

Thats why i still used the term "dictaphone" for it ;)
But at least compared to the Sanyo which appeared a few weeks ago here thats sould be the more wise choice. And it includes the M10 features like Battery Life, Cross memory recording too.
and i bet its still better than a zoom h1 though ;D
