Topic: Recorder Comparison Chart?

[hoppedup]

I had someone at a festival this weekend ask about portable recorders. I gave them my experiences with the two units I owned and told them I would send them a link to a good comparison chart. Neither Wingfield or Sweetwater (the two I've used in the past) have up to date charts (No PCM-M10 Tascam DR-08, DR-2D, Olympus LS-11, etc.).

I did a google search and couldn't come up with anything relatively recent.

This is just to give an overview of the recorders. I advised the person to sign up here and read more about any recorders that were of interest to them. Anybody know of any good current comp charts?

take a look at this:

there are some minor typos but its a pretty extensive list.

Nice one, I wasn't aware of it!
Although the most recent recorders are missing even there.

I guess the market is getting oversaturated with different models, nobody can be bothered to keep track of them all.

There's a pretty good search engine here, covering some of the recent models too:

Too bad it's in Japanese, and Google Translate is not really coping with the structure...
