Audio quality is just as important as video quality. Built-in camera microphones are typically average quality at best. By utilizing the Sony digital audio recorder, I can capture professional sounding audio for my video productions. This audio recorder could be used for other purposes as well. I love how it has a built-in battery and recharges via a standard USB port. This is also a small and lightweight digital audio recorder than can be easily concealed in most pant and shirt pockets. #Sony
