5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic, April 5, 2003

Not only the array of capabilities of this recorder makes it fantastic: delayed recording/playback, VOR, an outstanding software to edit, transfer to PC and back to the recorder, slim size, many folders and files to save every recording, etc.

Also make sure you buy this version or any other that come with the software because it is a great asset that will make you regret you did not get since lower end models do not come with it.
Note that the recorder has 2 speed recording and 3 for playback, not 3 recordings as stated in the review of this item.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly satisfied., April 26, 2003

The product answered to everything that waited. I was looking for a recorder to use in the university and to record the classes, Sony ICD-BP150 simply surprised me, the quality of the sound is incredible, same when we used in way LP is perfectly audible. The time to record in high quality were enough to record the classes. I already used the recorder in way LP to record seminars and the recording was very good, the resources as Index, Bookmark is very good to organize the recordings as well as the 5 Folders (A,B,C,D,E) that use to divide the matters that I record in the classes, puts each matter in a different folder and I transfer for the computer. I can maintain like this all of the organized classes in folders for subsequent study.
It is very comfortable of to handle and to transport, I already got used to carry it.
The software that accompanies the recorder, transfers the files in a very fast way for the computer, where we can still get better more the quality of the recordings.

5.0 out of 5 stars great machine in a very small package, June 1, 2003

I bought this product just a few hours ago. I asked the manager at the store if I could return it if I was not satisfied. Well, to tell the truth, I am so satisfied that I think this is worth more than the $ that I paid for it. I can pick up loud noises almost 4 rooms (in a house) away and I can easily pick up regular voices from 25-30 feet and have near perfect clarity. It gets a little softer as you move further away but it is definately a good investment.
