Sony ICDB300 - 64MB Digital Voice Recorder

I needed a new voice recorder and decided to try sony since it is usually a good name. Unfortunately this unit is junk. It is poorly designed, the erase button is where the record button should be and the record button requires you to look at the unit to find it every time since there is no tactile feel to it. Recording is absolutely silly, whoever designed this unit clearly never tested it. You have to find the record button by looking at it, press record then when you press record to stop it only pauses so you wind up with a long message. If you press the big stop button by the record button it plays your message back to you which is very annoying. You have to press record then press this tiny stop button in between the forward/reverse buttons. It is unbelievably poorly designed. There is no way to use it for notes without becomming frustrated. Then when you do press the tiny stop button instead of the big stop button it pauses for 3 seconds before it beeps to acknowlege you stopped recording? Why? Another annoyance feature. The manual makes a big deal about 'you do not have to hold the record button' but that should be a user selectable option. I want to hold the record button and release it to stop. That is a common sense feature for a digital voice recorder but this unit will not work that way. Next time sony should test their product before selling it.

I bought this item to record speakers at a convention. The playback is not as clear as I had hoped. I am disappointed in the product.

What is the use of owning a digital recorder if it comes with more "hiss" than a tape? This unit has VERY loud background noise and as stated earlier...won't erase individual files.

The item ICDB300 I received was not as pictured. I received something entirely different than the ICDB300 that was pictured. Not sure if it was an earlier model or what. The item pictured showed it had a stereo mode and the model I received was a cheaper model that I could have bought at Walmart for $4.00 more. I was disappointed but I needed it for work so i kept it. I felt i got screwed and that amazon put up a picture of a different higher priced model. When i placed the order it showed it was in stock, after i paid for it i recieved and email saying it would be shipped approximately 2 months after the order was placed. It did arrive in 2 weeks though. Not sure what to think of amazon. The item and shipping was way off of wack. Not sure i can trust ordering from amazon again.........not sure what i will get or when it will arrive.
