Tascam DR100mkII??

["Klas Strandberg" klasstrandberg]

Hello everybody!

I bought a Tascam DR100mkII to get the low input noise that David 
talked about. But I am seriously considering to send it back!

I cannot find a 3,5 mm mic input and I cannot find a menu setting 
about PlugInPower.
Does that mean that it doesn't have a 3,5 mm input providing PIP??
(As I am thinking of sending it back, I have not opened the manual. I 
have not found any specs on the web telling about a 3,5 mm input.)

Also, when using it with the internal microphones, the handling noise 
is terrible. The smallest little scratch with your fingers on the 
recorder body, is very audibly transferred to the mic's. I even doubt 
it can be used with a tripod at the gains that nature recordists may 
need, unless  the whole recorder is mounted with rubber bands.

Comments??

Klas.
