i like the edirol r-09. supports 32,44.1,48khz and 16 or 24bit. can be had in the 300 neighborhood. supports up to 4gb SD without issue, and some 8gb sd cards as well. lasts about 4 hours on 2 double AAs. Has a mic in with an optional pad and also a line in -- both 1/8". Super easy to use. the only gripe is the level meter is smaller than the sony portable DAT models but still OK for stealth situations. I got mine about six months ago and LOVE it.

R-09 gets my vote and here is the FAQ which may answer any questions you have on it:

Although the verdict isn't in yet, the brand-spanking-new Marantz PMD620 (http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,91816.0.html (http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,91816.0.html)) may also be worth a look. Very simple to use, small, and pretty sturdy. Can handle cards much bigger than currently available (up to 2 TB)...
Additionally, the new Sony (PCM-D50) looks very intriguing (although a bit bigger/heavier than the Edirol or Marantz)...
