Mixed bag

Just for reference: I'm no expert and this is only my second experience with digital recorders.

I have mixed feelings about the Sony ICDSX46VTP. I've been testing it out for a couple of weeks.

The folders, recording, controls and software are all very good. But, I have these issues with this unit:

The reviews about it picking up your touch thru the mic are not exaggerated. I was surprised (shouldn't have been) by this major disapointment. It would probably be impossible to capture an interview with any quality while holding this unit.

The display is too dark to control it very well in dim situations.

If I had to do it again, I'd try a different product.

Perfect Instrument

This is a perfect device, hard working and no complaint. Very easy to use and well made as all Sony products. Batteries life is extra long and sound playback is the best you can get. Well done once again.

Sony- stick you at every opportunity- ZERO Stars

I paid $250 for a voice recorder and couldn't find the CD when I replaced my laptop. You'd think Sony would offer a download or replacement through support- but NO. You have to BUY the software all over again. The $250 recorder is now useless because of their proprietary format, but I'll be darned if they are getting another penny of my money, and they shouldn't get a penny of yours.
