Unfortunately - as good as the LS-100 is - the recorder has its share of problems. Rule number one with the LS-100 recorder seems to be, "Don't do any outdoor field recording". Wind gets into this recorder even if the recorder is dressed in a windscreen, that shouldn't happen with a recorder supposedly as good as the LS-100 is.

I am worried because they seem to have less models now and the american site is not up rite now. Hope they won't faid away, but even though, they stil didn't get to the level zoom did, and its defnitly wundering why not enough blind people use these? I mean half of them might not even no what fantum power is.
