Just would like to know what are the best digital sound recording equipment out there and the prices.

Hey Dan , I can vouch for the stereo sony notetakers . They take 2 aaa batteries . They also have a expansion port which I use a 16gb micro sd card .

While using lithium ion batteries and the 16 gb sd card its possible to record 100 hours of cd quality audio , thats 5 days straight . It records at 44,100 hz and 16bit .

The next level up $$$$$$$$$ is 24 bit 96,000 hz . An extreme amount of information and from the specs , not possible to get much more than a day out of them , havent tried yet though .

The sony notetakers are about $130 each , the sd card is about $40 each and each week will cost you $10 dollars to run them using lithium ion batteries . $520 a year

I wouldnt buy another trail camera again but I'd recommend the plotwatchers they dont miss a thing . There are 2 versions . The elcheapo version which is extremely aggressive on batteries . Then there's the more expensive model ( with extra options ) which is extraordinarily thrifty with battery consumption and will basically last for 3 or four months without having to replace the batteries . The plotwatcher pro also needs an sd card $40 . The plotwatcher pro is about $330 dollars delivered from the U.S.A. , Cabella's ...............................

Thanks rusty for your information.

Ants also told me about the sony products but didnt know the specific name.

will certainly get a sony sound recorder this week as im doing an over nighter in the blue mountains this week.

around mount solitary down to kedumba.I hope i find something there.

From start to camp site is a 12km hike.Then once i set up camp will be setting up the sound recorder in a spot i

think would be best then go out and look for our hairy mate during the night.
