A voice recorder

I've been wanting a voice recorder
since....

only few months back!

HAHA!



And now.. I already!.... still haven't got it.
Although I wanted to get one few months back,
but it is only until now I started to survey around what option I have.

Brand of course plays a major role,
the first goes into my mind is Sony.
Checked their product, reasonable and affordable prices by public, but definitely not me.

Calculating my budget, I am only willing to spent around RM200+ to get one.
Despite that, I am more fascinated by the product that range far away from my budget.

RM199 - Sony BX800
It has all what I need, long operation hours (55 hours in LP mode),
and 2GB storage (up to 534 hours in LP mode!).
Too bad it doesn't enable to connect to PC via USB port,
which I really found it is something necessary
(CH inspired me that maybe one day you suddenly wanna record your voice and put in PC ler?
and somemore in PC you can just click back or forward exactly at the point you wanted).

Of course Sony did have one with USB support,
sadly the price is kind of over with another RM100 to add on.
It's PX820 that worth RM299.
I don't expect to get a voice recorder with such prices though it might worth the penny I spent,
just somehow, I don't see the point spending so much on it. @@
Automatically, it is out!

It is then I saw or we (my gf and I) saw Olympus products.
Their products are somehow cheaper and around my budget (before discount from RM149 - 250 - with the features I wanted).
But of course cheaper price comes along with its toll on the features.
The battery life is shorter (33 hours and I don't get it because Sony is using triple A alkaline battery too)
Lower memory space (only 512 to 1052 mb but can records up to 600 hours - it's more than what Sony can provide! Voice quality is not that good maybe? that's why little space can provide longer hours than the Sony)

VN6500 is really attracted my eyes with its cheap price.
It's only RM 149 at Jusco Kepong where my last check point was.
Unfortunately again, it don't support PC link.
It did got sister who can do it, but I am afraid that M'sia doesn't has the model which called VN 6500PC.
Another much advanced model with greater storage and has USB port,
VN-6800PC, it's like only RM 250 +/-.
And somewhere I saw over online there is this 7800PC too.
Sigh! I am now overwhelming with too many different model
and yet the they(internet) can't really tell the differences between them.

Anyhow, let time judges which to pick,
as when the time I am too desperately to get one,
i will definitely have my answer at that moment.

Tomorrow or I suppose is today (pass 12 sudah) class is at 8am,
hope I can get up from my bed. see ya.
