Wouldn't the sound quality mainly depend on the quality of the microphone? What if I have a really good quality microphone and I plugged it into a laptop and record at 24bit, would that be better quality than the olympus and all these other devices? yeah I think so. quality must be better..particul...

the fostex is way too big.. wanna carry it around all along.
I think I'll buy the olympus ls10. strange it's so much cheaper in gb!
