I was almost going to abandon the D10 after my initial tests and review. Fortunately I had some space in my luggage on last year’s Amazon trip and decided to throw it in there as a last resort backup. In the Amazon rainforest I ended up replacing the M10 with the D10 because of the extended battery life and the M10’s 32GB microSD card limit.

I have to mention that I used the D10 exclusively as drop rig recorder in a dry bag with Lom mikroUsi mics and Bubblebee Windbubbles. I haven’t used its on-board mics nor the XLR inputs. I never handhold it and I never monitor what I record with it since the whole rig is left out for many hours or even days in the wilderness.
