I think you'll find the AT822 and AT825 to be very similar mics. The main differences I note are the 822 is unbalanced and is powered by its internal battery only (AT cautions against applaying phantom power) while the 825 is balanced and can be powered either with phantom or its internal battery.

Minidisc is technology on its way out and there are a truckload of CF card based recorders on the market today to replace it. Zoom H2 and H4, Sony PCM D50, M-Audio Microtrack, Edirol R09, Marantz PMD620 and PMD670, and extending up from there.
