$70 shirt pocket sound recorder

[Aiviaman]

Amazon.com was having a promotion yesterday, and I got a Panasonic HM-TA1 pocket camcorder for $69.95. It fits in a shirt pocket and could be a budget alternative to a wireless lav for the guerilla filmmaker. It records in stereo. Here is a youtube video with some sample sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOXDD9gKQpw&feature=related

It also does 1080p HD video for home movies as a bonus.

it is way too big, for about $25 more you got the H1, (doesn't take video, but a real sound recorder)

I've used a Zoom H2 with an AT lav mic. Sound for picture and some ADR stuff. I've built such a sound library with just the H2 it's awesome. Whatever works.
