CNET Review
The Good: The Sony PCM-D50 handheld audio recorder offers high quality built-in stereo microphones, brilliant design, detailed recording resolution, long battery life, and an excellent assortment of features.
The Bad: The Sony PCM-D50 has only 4GB of internal memory, proprietary Sony Memory Stick expansion, no direct recording of MP3 files, and no easy way to connect professional 1/4-inch or XLR audio cables.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking to make great mobile recordings without lugging around a cumbersome laptop recording rig, the Sony PCM-D50 offers an unbeatable combination of design, recording quality, battery life, and features at a justifiable price.
