Actually I don't know how to describe this Handy Recorder, it's absolutely amazing for the money.
I got it as an additional accessory for my camcorder ( external audio is always better ).
In the box, it didn't come with much accessories, only the manual & the batteries, no case or cable or whatsoever, there was a 2GB microSD card though with an adapter.

It's a has a directional microphones at X/Y, it's made out of plastic & there are no menus, it's pretty easy & obvious of how to use it. it records in mp3 or wav with different frequencies that you can choose.

On the Screen we have the mic gain level, battery indicator. recording time & file format with frequency.
there is a red button which is used for recording, or stopping the recording. there is the PEAK light.
at the bottom there is the speaker, at the right side, there is the USB port, power on/off or hold button, trash button, previous track, Play/Pause, Forward, input level of mic & the Mic line in if you want to attach an external mic.
On the left side, you have the memory card slot, headphone volume level control & the headphone jack which can be used to monitor your recording.
On the back you have, low cut filter control, Auto level on or off & recording format WAV or MP3, we have the tripod mount & the battery compartment for a AA battery.

Bottom line: Pretty amazing & worth every penny, it's not heavy so you can take it everywhere & you can attach it to your DSLR or camcorder. get one
