    This page jumps all over. Not allowing you to enter a real review. Above it says great camera and it's a voice recorder were talking about. Now this time the page hasn't changed. This will be my third attempt. The item in question " Sony Voice Recorder" is not a bad product. However after getting it home it dosen't have all the amenities I actually want. So we have purchased a better voice recorder that this time appears to have all the gingerbread I want. YES this second product was also purchased at Best Buy. Bethel Park, Pa. Same as the first. I trust Best Buy for all my needs. This item has been in my possession for 27 days.

    As the secretary for a church board, I needed something compact to record the discussions and voting. Very handy to have and compact enough to carry with me all the time. Never know if I might need it.

    The sound quality for the cost of digital recorder is acceptable. It is ok for for basic recordings but you can't transfer files off device. I think the battery life should have been better. It is small and convenient to carry. It is just o.k. I really don't plan to use the recorder a lot.
