Tascam DR-2d Digital Recorder (black, with 2gb SD card)

The Tascam DR-2D allows for probably the highest quality mobile audio capture of any of the portable recorders on the market, thanks to its built-in stereo condenser microphone and use of high-capacity SD, meaning it's perfect for uncompressed WAV files that capture every detail.  For really high quality capture, you can also connect your own external mics or use the line input for other sources.
