I have been on the lookout for a cheap portable digital recorder with a microphone and some flash-ram to store recordings on. So far I have been looking at the Zoom H2, it has great reviews, and the recordings it makes are incredible. It also sees to be semi-professional equipment, and cheap compared to what you get , although I think that it might be a bit too expensive for the use I have - as I am only planning on using it to record sound effects, and maybe some other sounds for the music, for OpenDungeons. I found it as cheap as 1256 danish kroner which is approximately 214 US dollars.

Anybody having a portable digital recorder/microphone with flash-ram, which is cheap and have good sound quality? If so please post links here

The H2 is what I got (for 200EUR). Here are most of my recordings.
I bought it from Thormann. Perhaps the H1 is fine too. I think you will have to get batteries/recharger.

PS: this is a kind of question I have seen more than once on freesound forums, you should hang around on http://www.freesound.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=7 a little

PPS: why not use the general assets section of this forum for general questions like this? :P

You mean Thomann?, I take it then that you will vouch for their service then? How often do you use it?

Yes maybe that is a good ide, but I also wanted to discuss it with the OD community, preferably the thread would be in both forums. But yes maybe I should post there the next time

Today I just saw the list of requested sound-effects, so I have decided that it is time to get the Zoom H2, so we can get some nice sounds in OD , this will be very fun I remember making a stop motion movie once (only a short one like 5 mins) where we recorded soundeffects and added them, it was funny

I am now the happy owner of the Zoom H2, and will be making allot of sound effects for the game

Can't wait to hear some results. Sounds are often added too late in a game, and they form an important part of the atmosphere. The H2 looks like a fine device

I have already made one recording of sword hits , see the Sound effects list-thread and the Plan for sound effects-thread
