If you want a cheap digital recorder, look around and ask an employee at an electronic store such as Best Buy. If you are looking for a decent quality digital recorder and don't want to spend too much money, ask around for a used digital recorder. Sometimes you can find deals on near mint digital recorders for a fraction of the retail price. Also try to find a digital recorder that has full HD quality. These are generally better, but you may want to stay away from these if you have a tight budget as they tend to be a bit more expensive.
