Software Not Windows 8 Compatible
on December 17, 2012
Posted by: soundbill
Small, reliable and I've been using it daily nonstop for 6 months. The extra memory slot puts it head & shoulders above the rest. Screening recordings to erase them is much harder than with other less expensive Sony pocket recorders I've had. The recording sensitivity is fantastic. The Sound Organizer makes it easy to plug in and download, but the Sound Organizer won't install on Windows 8! If you need small, this is the best choice, but the other Sony recorders are easier to work with.
What's great about it: Slim!
What's not so great: No Microphone Input, Buttons Difficult on Side
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Best and Most Handy
on August 25, 2012
Posted by: Harleychief
The disadvantages that others mentioned I considered them not of a huge consideration. You can’t expect that a recorder of this size to have large buttons. The truth is that it works as expected. It is great for my needs. I have another model, such as the PX-312 (very good), but I love the convenience of being so slim.
What's great about it: Slim, sensitivity, VOR, quick battery charge, USB cable, MP3 playback
What's not so great: If not secure properly, someone will steal it from you
I would recommend this to a friend!

Even though there is no mic input as mentioned by other reviewers its not needed.
Its a great little recorder in a great little package. I find it very handy and it fits in my pocket. Easy to use and picks up very well.
Another great product from Sony!

Bad points outweigh the good points
on March 21, 2012

the small size is great.. you can keep it in your pocket for quick voice memos.. and the record/pause button on the front are in the perfect spot.
but there are too many bad points.. the display is too small and difficult to read.. (I have 20/20 vision, but still struggle to read the display). Too much information in too small of an area.
Lack of mic input is disappointing.
the buttons on the side for play back are way to small and the labels printed on the side are tiny/difficult to read. they need to move the side buttons to the front face to be useful.
i tried hard to like this, but after a month of heavy usage, I ended up going back to the olympus recorder.. not as stylish, but many times easier to use and functional..
nice try... but i would recommend waiting for their next version.. hopefully it will be better.
What's great about it: small size, light weight, record/pause button on front face
What's not so great: no mic input, display too small, buttons on side difficult to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
