Excellent review!

Do you know why I can’t find any comparisons between the Sony PCM-D100 and the Roland R-07 ?

I am especially interested in the quality of the sound recorded for very quiet sounds in field recording?

I used to use a Sony Minidisc which had very good low noise and great for recording quiet sounds, and am looking for a small portable recorder that will be at least as good in quality of the sound without hiss.

As far as similar recorders, the main parallel to the R-07 seems to be the Tascam DR-22WL. Though the R-07 is better built, it’s also twice as much. The DR-22WL even has scenes as well and a wireless app, and I think a tuner with the updated firmware (my DR-07 mkII did)
There’s a nice little feature of the R-07 that wasn’t mentioned; the mics tilt slightly upward. It may not seem like a big thing, but it makes a difference when all you have is a table and no tripod.
While I know you can change the settings of the scenes, can you also change their default name too?
Thnx again for the comprehensive side by side

The ICD line is more for voice memo and not really suited for sound effect recording. I would look into the Roland or a Zoom for your first recorder.

Which would your recommend? Or are they entirely different beasts? Ideally I am looking for something that will be suitable for recording field sounds, rather than for gigs and live performance, is the R-07 still up to this kind of activity?
