[microsound] field recording equipment

[greg g <time4cookies@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

in keeping with the birdsongs thread........
perhaps this question has been posted to the list in the past, but:  what 
are microsounder's preferred methods of field recording?  i'm looking for a 
small setup for around $100-$300, and perhaps more if microphones could 
serve in-studio purposes as well.  i think a quick rundown and comparison of 
products for portable recording (tape recorder, minidisk, etc) and mic 
types/brands would be in order.  i would say my primary concerns in this 
area would be having wide stereo recordings, a good field of sound reception 
over a fairly decent distance (say, a block or two), and a good frequency 
response.  overall quality or tape hiss would be minor, and possibly a good 
thing given the right hiss.  also, although ease of transfer isn't a primary 
concern, the recording device has to have some sort of output other than a 
built-in speaker, for obvious quality reasons.  so those are my 
"constraints"..  apologies if this question has been previously answered, a 
quick link to a guide or two would help.  thanks
greg
