I'm still quite happy with the "larger" R-1 which I've been using for this past year. It's flash cards are compatible with what I use in my Nikon SLR. "Larger" does not mean massive; it still fits conveniently in a shirt pocket while it's not so small that I might overlook it when I'm packing up.

I find the quality of the recordings amazingly good, and the ease with which the flash card can transfer the recorded file to computer extremely convenient. Now I really should learn more about editing, instead of depending on JudyB to clean up after me!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
