Review for Sony TCM-400DV Tape Recorder with Bulit-in Flat Mic:
Sadly, this supposedly mid-range product (they go for UKP70 in the Sony shop), is inferior in almost every way to my 15-year-old bottom-of-the-range Genexxa. For starters, the construction feels brittle, cheap and lightweight. This I could forgive if the sound reproduction was any good.
Unlike my cheap dictaphone, the recordings made on this unit feature a very prominent background rumble that threatens to overwhelm the voices. The voices themselves have little real presence or brightness, but retain the tinniness of a cheap microphone. Even though the product claims to be good for conferences, I can't imagine you'd pick up much more than a few feet away.
The blurb claims that the item is,"an excellent example of innovative designs that bring high-quality sound". Considering the cheaper and older device that I've been using for the last 15 years is better in every respect, I beg to differ.

Review for Sony TCM-400DV Tape Recorder with Bulit-in Flat Mic:
Not worth the money
I bought a dirt-cheap Genexxa dictaphone back in 1995. The sound is a little rough, but it's bright and audible. I have a large stockpile of tapes, so I thought I'd upgrade to something a little more up-to-date and expensive, try and improve upon the sound quality.Sadly, this supposedly mid-range product (they go for UKP70 in the Sony shop), is inferior in almost every way to my 15-year-old bottom-of-the-range Genexxa.

Sony M470B Micro Tape Recorder
A light weight tape recorder, most useful for conducting interviews of veterans of the WWII Greece & Crete campaigns. Unobtrusive. A plus is the cost. These recorders, and the micro cassettes has reduced. Simple to use. The downside is the tape recorder could chew through batteries, not to sure about this yet.7
Review for Sony ICDP620.CE7 512MB Digital Dictation Long Rec:
Its light, and easy to use with long battery time.
The only drawback is that there's no on/off button, but if you put it on hold it turns itself
off [they don't tell you that in the quick start guide, smoking crack maybe?].

Review for Sony M570VS.CE7 Voice Operated Micro Tape Recorder:
I found that this recorder has a habit of picking up the letter 'P' and it distorts the sound, (i.e.) if I were to say that this was"Perfect", when I press the replay button I would hear the word"zzzect" the zzz being a buzzing sound, further more, if you hold the recorder more than six inches away from the mouth (even with the volume full up) it is as though you were recording from 15ft away. I must admit that this is the first Sony product I have found not to be up to the high standard I am used too from Sony. Very very disapointed, poor quality output.
FP.

Sony Digital voice recorder
I was really excited about getting this equipment as I use it for my uni course and recoding vocal rehearsals/training. However, the down side to this product is that you can't rewind to a particular sentence, verse or particular part in a song etc. It will only allow you to rewind to the begining of the recording and if you have been recording for more than 20 minutes it can be quite frustrating to have to listen to the whole recording again. Other than that for the price this voice recorder is ok10

Review for Sony 1gb Digital Dictation Black:
Given this is effectively an MP3 player (headphones are included) as well as a voice recorder, this is a good value bit of kit. There are several functions in the menu, which I have not bothered fiddling with. As it comes out of the box, its exactly what I need.
One concern is that it feels a little fragile, but it comes in its own little carry bag to keep it unscratched.

Review for Sony 1gb Digital Dictation Black:
superb
Clarity of recording is excellent, this syncs with Media Player easily and can be used as a MP3 player too. It records at a default high sampling rate of 128kbps, I don't think that many sound cards can play this level of fidelity, so it will be your computer which will be the weak link in sound quality. It also has a neat feature which enables recharging of the battery (you need to get a rechargable battery yourself) when plugged into the USB dongle provided.Given this is effectively an MP3 player (headphones are included) as well as a voice recorder, this is a good value bit of kit.

It does what I want it to do
Although Tape recording is fast becoming a relic with all the modern technology available I have found that this Sony Voice operated Slim Tape Recorder suits my needs. I am a member of an Amateur Operatics Society and this machine allows me to record music - songs and Lib which I can then play back in my car Tape player to rehearse and revise what I am doing and when. As far as I am concerned the perfect tool for my hobby16
Review for Sony Digital Dictation:
The recording quality is brilliant and the 4gb memory stick i bought seperately has recorded loads of conversations and music sessions and isn't even 25 percent full yet. My friend is now going to buy his own as with his current dictaphone he has to carry loads of tapes with him !
Whereas i only one small memory stick.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a decent dictaphone.

Review for Sony Digital Dictation:
Brilliant - excellent recording quality
I bought this with the intention of using it to record me play the Piano and saxophone. Then if i played anything i really liked i wouldn't have to immediately stop and quickly try to write it out before i forgot it. Instead i could play the dictaphone back and then try to work it out again.The recording quality is brilliant and the 4gb memory stick i bought seperately has recorded loads of conversations and music sessions and isn't even 25 percent full yet.

Review for Sony 2gb Digital Dictation Silver:
Remove the cap at the bottom of the device and you find a USB 2 connection, this enables it to be connected directly to the USB port, from here it works like a USB flash drive, so you can use it to store and back up all your important files, it's also a MP3 player, great set of headphones supplied.
After a two weeks use i can't fault it - 5 star all the way!

sony dictaphone
This was the cheapest on offer at the time which influenced me.I am a complete technophobe but the instructions are simple to understand and the machine works well. The sound quality is good and the memory is more than sufficient for everyday use.
