Just to follow up on this, i got this duel microSD card converter of ebay today, only cost like about £2 and it works prefect with the Sony PCM-D50.. I have 2 micro SD cards fitted, 1 is 8GB the other 16GB. When putting the produo converter in, select PCM-D50 memory to M.S, this may then say either "FORMAT" or "UNKNOWN" simply hit enter on the device and proceed to format the card from the device itself.. The "UNKNOWN" may appear after inserting the newly formatted card back in, just hit "enter" and it will still allow you to use the cards for storage.. To access the data from the cards on your pc or laptop do not use the card reader that may be built in to your computer, it will not recognize the format, instead connect the PCM-D-50 via USB and both the card space and internal space will appear as drives on your computer.. I hope this saves many other users out there wasting money on produo cards 🙂

You know, due to its age this has to be the most underestimated recorder ever!, The build quality is just amazing compared to so many out today. I had an M-Audio MicroTrack 2 and it was just horrid!, the feel was just plastic, light and flimsy – When I saw the Sony PCM-D50 i was like oh yeah baby come to daddy! lol.. The main feature that sold it to me was the adjustable mics, simple idea but so effective and i really dont understand why this is just not a standard feature on many recorders tbh!.. The Sony PCM-D50 feels so good in the hand very well made, Anyone thinking of getting one id say just go get one!.. Like most recorders you have to take care when handling while recording as the Sony will pick up any slight hand or finger movement so its advisable to get yourself a mini monopod with a foam handle to prevent this kind of unwanted noise 😉 .. Ive also been trying to use a micro SD card with the PCM-D50 using a ProDuo to Micro SD converter, I have a couple of MicroSD card – one 8gb and another 16gb, both have failed so far in a cheap ebay converter "M.S Error" both cards had been formatted but im guessing its th cheapo adapter that could be to blame. Im now goin to try a duel MicroSD converter card again from ebay to see if that works as i have read others have has success with it using 64gb microSD cards.. I guess we will see whn it comes 🙂 – Great post about the PSM-D50

You had me until you don't put the excelent limiter option on the pros list... that limiter is way beyond the best feature of everything in that recorder..

Also, why in the hell do you want to connect a USB while recording?

Why do you want to take out the baterries WHILE recording?

those cons are nowhere near possible because of common sense. that list should be shorter.

IMHO that recorder is by far the best on the market for that price. I was trying to decide which recorder to buy and go with this one, the best purchase I made in a long time.

Mine gets into record with no lag when I push the biutton. Once it fell during recording and the batteries fell out. I thought I'd lost my recording, but actually it was still there and seemed complete. The biult-in mics are nice but not pro of course. I'd never use the mic preamps, always get in through line in or digital input and I love this machine.

Thanks for the review. When I attach the unti to the computer (a MacBook Pro lap top) I can't "see" the Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo card on my computer to upload the audio. The card is full. I have been able to take the audio from the internal memory, and cleared that for future recordings, but I can't manage to read/see the external card so am unable to retrieve any audio from it. 4 GB worth. Help?

Excellent review, Brad, but I'm having difficulty in loading those mp3 files with divShare engine.

Is it my computer?
