Not as standard, you have to buy an external unit for this - about the same price as the PCM-D50.

But I understand that the PCM-D50 has now been discontinued.

But I understand that the PCM-D50 has now been discontinued.

And a replacement is expected to be announced soon.

I expect Sony will take a page from the new Olympus LS-100 recorder ( first recorder from Olympus with XLR jacks ) and will add XLR inputs to the next model.

Good news. :thumbsup:

The PCM-D50 was an excellent unit.

It just needed two things - XLR inputs and record to CF or SD cards instrad of the Sony memory stick - but they *definitely* need to keep the optical digital input.
