For this kind of stuff its more important to record without compression, 
no minidisc, it sucks, it will erase all parts of the sound which they 
claim is unaudible, no chance to filter it later, you lose all the 
details. Elsewise even a cheap electret mic will deliver quite usable 
results, as things like noisefloor or dynamics usually are no issue for 
field recording. Electrets have a very flat response like real condenser 
mics, but need only low voltage to make them run. I have a very small 
stereo mic from Aiwa, wich gives me reasonable good results.
