I recently came across the Sony M100MC micro tape recorder. It looks similar to a camcorder as it has a large built in microphone that looks like a lens! The microphone has 3 sensitivity settings - lecture / meeting / dictation. It also has a build in folding stand for desktop use. It is being marketed as recorder for student use. Has anybody had experience of using it?
