G'day,

In my pursuit for a low cost field recording setup to record wildlife through my Rode VIDEOMIC (which is based on a 3.5mm mini-jack), i've come across the MZ-NH900 HI-MD unit which appears to have a mic input. It goes for about $Au300 on Ebay (~US$250)

Has anyone used this model for recording through a microphone?

Any similarly priced alternatives?

cheers!

I use a Sony HiMD (MZ-M100) with a VideoMic and it works very well. If I were buying Hi-MD today I'd probably go with the MZ-M10

But to tell you the truth, if I could get $200 for my MZ-M100 I'd upgrade to an Edirol R-09 for the convenience of memory card media over disks.
