will this record while in a handbag or pant pocket?

It will if you want it to. But if your concerned about accidental recording then no. There is a hold button that doesn't allow it to turn on unless the switch is moved, and then of course you will have to hit the record button which is sunken in.

Never tried doing that, probably, but do not know for sure. I am an author so I use it to record ideas as they come along. On a less serious note, I also like to record my talking parrot for fun. However, I have noticed that sometimes when I do put it in my bag or pocket, if it rubs against another object, it has erased or played back the recording. So it is quite sensitive that way. Hope this helps some.

It will record every sound and if your moving with it in your handbag or pants pocket, it will record all movement. To me it records every sound not just voice.

It depends on what you want to record. If the volume is adequete, it will record with no problem. I hope this helps.

No.That would be nice. WORD of CAUTION! Be careful if its in your front pant pocket and it on & off switch is on, if you bend forward it can go off and you may fry you junk.

No. But it does have a date/time stamp. Fits easily in your pocket. Has lots of recording time. And the recordings are vety clear. It works perfect for what we use it for.

I don't wear jeans, but it slips in and out of my (front) pants pocket surprisingly well for me. I don't keep a lot in that pocket, but I could probably keep more than I do. Enjoy!

No, you must he actually using the Mynah in hand to your ear physically when recording and using it as your phone. I thought of this as a drawback when purchasing but for so little calls I record it wasn't in the least a hinderance. You may want to see if the conpany has an earbud you can talk through and listen and record same time.

Yes, too snug, record button can get pressed while holding case so you have to be careful. I wish the case was better constructed.

I believe so. I recorded a portion of an interview in a large living room from a distance of about 12-15'. During that time, the recorder was inside my shirt pocket. At one point, I suggested we move to a table, mostly so I could get the recorder closer and obtain a cleaner recording. Nevertheless, the segment across the room, which lasted about five minutes, was clear enough to be heard and understood. That even with the occasional sound of the recorder rustling against the fabric inside my shirt pocket.

You can't secure it to your pants. I'd recommend putting it in your pant pocket.

It should record upright or lying down. I have only recorded while holding it but I had it both up and angled while in my hands.

The one I got a couple years ago had the button but it was more of a hassle than useful. When you walk around with the bag on your shoulder, the button is easily depressed so it would easily record over a recording made. I didn't need the sound myself, but found I could do the same thing on my phone instead.

Definitely not slim enough to fit in your jeans pocket! Here are the dimensions: [117.0(W) x 69.6(H) x 56.8(D) mm / 4.6(W) x 2.7(H) x 2.2(D) in.] It doesn't fit comfortably in my small purse either. While still a small, hand-held camera, it is not pocket sized. The lens is fixed and doesn't retract into the body.

Nope, and its rather large for a pocket, so either wear trousers, or have a big enough purse. (According to your gender, hopefully)

Not sure. Our camera is motion sensitive and used when we are away so we are not doing much recording (we hope).

It is too large to be considered a pocketable camera. it is also a very touchy camera, so carrying it in a pocket would probably damage it.

The recording depend the battery and you Card Space. In Case the Battery 30 minutes aprox.

No. You will have to use a wrist strap with the pocket kind in order for it to be placed.

No, it's not really pocket-sized - jacket pocket, but not jeans. I have an A80 looking at getting the A630. I've been VERY happy with my Canon!
