A promising looking little field recorder by zoom is due to be released in October.

So far it looks pretty nice and cheap too - 300.00? Quasi xlr / 1/4 inputs, it's about time someone did that, nice 1/4" line input, SD media (more up to date than CF). 24/96 recorder and higher MP3 bitrates. Curious to hear how the preamps sound compared to the 660, although from what I hear and read that can't be hard to beat. Looks like a slick little through converter to your pc too. It looks like it could beat the pants off of the Marantz 660 - Marantz needs to update. So if you're on the fence about a inexpensive little ENG recorder you may want to wait for this one.
