Researching and putting this review together took me several long days. If you’ve enjoyed it or found it useful you’re welcome to purchase out my sound effects libraries and to support me on Patreon.

Hi, my name is George and I may have an obsession (with recording gear in general and with handheld recorders in particular). Over the years this has resulted in a hefty collection of recorders, mics, windshields, blimps, batteries and bags that now surrounds my workspace. I quite like it this way since I have everything on hand, at least until all this gear becomes sentient and starts taking me out on field recording expeditions.

At any rate, I have added a couple of recently-released recorders to my collection and I’ve been testing them in a variety of situations. I’m obviously talking about the Sony PCM A10 and the Sony PCM D10, unexpected additions to the Sony handheld recorder lineup. These two joined other three recorders that have been with me for months or years, the Sony PCM D100, the Sony PCM M10 and the Olympus LS14. Read on to find out how I’m getting along with them. Scroll down to the bottom for downloadable recordings made with each of these handhelds.
