Topic: Sony's new $600 recorder PCM-D50 PT II

[Kindguy]

Anyone lurking who bought a D50 used? Curious what they are going for? I'd really like to pick up one, But it's hard to buy new since I won't run it that often.

Someone recently patched off me with one. Seamed solid.

Also after seeing Todd R's pics with the PSP 2> D50 were really sexy IMO

I also run this.  So easy and battery life between the PSP-2 and D50 is incredible.  Get one.  You won't regret it.

It's tough to find a D50 used...we are all holding onto them.

That's awesome but yikes...2TB makes me paranoid!

I've been doing some reading and it sounds like the SanDisk Extreme III 8GB (SDHC) is a good card for the D50?

Edit: Hmm the Memory Stick PRO-HG cards look sexy.

Cool! I really want to get a look at that deck too!

I paid $435 for a barely used one in Feb 2008. I don't see too many of them popping up used though.

I paid 408 brand new incl postage
arrived today and have been fucking around with it 
it does show handling noise while using the built in mics 
but fits a standard camera tripod of which I have MANY
mounted on one, the handling noise disappears and it makes a nice CLEAN sounding recording at low and high volumes   
will likely use it that way for open shows and give my dpa's a well deserved rest 
will try it out soon with dpa4061's and spsb3
Melvins is this weekend  but will probably use the old DAT for that since I don't want to risk a good show using new gear
sooooooo...........will try it out on this awesome local metal band the 15th

There were A LOT, maybe 10 or more listings by the same seller about 1-2 weeks ago in ebay all brand new selling for $299.99 shipped. Now he's not listing them anymore. I think a few ts members placed bids on them. Don't know if they were lucky.
