For good audio, the challenge is picking the right microphone (and the right one, like a Sennheiser MK416, would cost you more than the recorder). Go with a DAT recorder or a MiniDisc, or if you're feeling retro, a Nagra - heavy and bulky, but *extremely* reliable. Actually, the best for you would probably a solid-state recorder. Low in battery, very durable, and excellent quality. Something like a Nagra ARES BB or a Sound Devices 744T, an industry favorite. Check out these links: (Fostex FR-2LE for $600, Marantz PMD660 for $500)=%27Portable%27/sf=prod_group/se=%27Recorders%20%26%20Players%3A%20Digital%27/sf=for_sale/se=0/sf=used/se=1/sf=statuss/se=%27n%27/ml=9999.html Even if this is outside price range, it'll give you a good idea what to look for, and these sites are great resources. Don't forget you can rent... I’m just concerned, how come you already ‘have the mics and whatnot’ but don’t know anything about the right recorder?

Actually film or video? If it's video, use digital, a good camera, and record the audio there, it's very high quality. If you're recording audio only, look into portable digital recorders like a portable DAT, hard disk, or compact flash based system.
