>>1036586This is a good philosophy to have.
One thing about the DR-05 or H1 (or any handheld recorder like this) - you WILL need a windmuff for it. 100% asbolutely must have, it will be useless like 95% of the time without one. Sensitive cardioid mics like this are so prone to the slightest wind, movement, or handling noise that you can't even wave your pinky finger near it. Windmuff and tripod/stand are essential. So you gotta budget for that.
