Hi Sultan, yes this Sony ICDTX50 is good for university lectures. It is compatible for most Windows based operating system and has an internal memory of 4GB and can be expanded up to 32 GB (micro SD). In addition, it has a compatible high-speed USB port for faster file transfer. Its sleek dimension also provide easy carry and handling. -Ely

I have played 1080p clips from my lap top for seminars, and it looks good in a dark room. I agree with Mark Lessor, it isn't a home theater quality.

The down side to Sony is that it takes proprietary software (special only to Sony). Playmemories is correct for this camcorder. The files ALWAYS have to go through software to change it to a mode that is viewable. The good thing about Sony is that it has a "steady cam" feature that helps remove the jitter from mild shaking. I imagine that would be helpful for your dad. I am facing replacing my HDR CX 100 because it is wearing out but will go with the C x240 (newer model of 100). The only mistake you might have made is the CX240 is cheaper now than the $250 I have seen for the CX100.

It works very well with computers, IPads, IPods and IPhones. It has great sound not just volume in a very small, light and attractive package. I use it project the audio for the video's that I use in a class with 15 to 20 students and it work very well. If your TV has an headphone jack or a USB port, it would work.

Hello Rosa,If you need a compact Digital recorder I feel you cannot go wrong with the Sony icd-sx1000. It is functional not only for school,business,music and anything you would have to record on the move. Once you get the feel of using it,and the many applications it can be used for I am pretty sure you will be satisfied.This model is a jump ahead, in many way's,then the sx-712,i.e,features.A little more of a learning curve,but WELL worth it .This has been my experience, I am sure you will be satisfied.Good luck!

I wouldn't recommend using in the lecture environment because you will have to have one of your hand holding the mic close to your lips(less than 10cm). I would rather recommend looking up a wired(lengthy) tie-pin mic type.

it appears that the 50UB doesn't have a USB input - so If you don't plan on using it for that, you could save a few bucks and go with the 50

I think it would, just sit in the front row to guarantee better recordings, and don't touch it or shuffle papers nearby or those sounds will be MUCH louder than your prof's voice.About the people who bought ones that failed.... it sounds like getting a "good" one is sort of a luck-of-the-draw. Maybe buy 2? They're really cheap. Mine has recorded over 10 hours, still going strong... be gentle with it maybe?

I can vouch that the built in speakers on Samsung's 550 series are pretty disappointing. They fire down and back instead of forward, giving a muffled sound. IMHO Samsung's picture quality is marginally better, and I'm unsure if Sony's L line has a problem with the white "sparkles" that the W and V lines have with programming shown through HDMI, but I know on the W and V series sets that the built in sound is much better. If prices are comparable I'd go with the Sony.

Sorry don't use it that way. I use it with my laptop for powerpoint lectures.

agreed... it's as complete of a set as is supplied by Sony, but you will want extra batteries, SD cards or equivelant and if you record long presentations, the HXR-FMU128. it's well worth it.

It is hard to tell, you should be more forthcoming about the speakers. Although I'd recomend to take a look at XPA-2 instead.

It has been so many years since I have used my Clie UX50, just as Sony had terminated their handheld computer product lineage. Much more a nostalgic gadget, but yes, if you own a functioning UX50, you may use it for taking notes. I used to record meetings with its VGA camera on a 512 MB Memory Stick. You may also use it for writing notes with the stylus pen.

Read the reviews ofr Belkin TuneTalk. Was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative recorder that works well with lectures and has a long battery life, for reasonable student price?

Hi MiamiWaters, this Sony ZSBTY50 can provide a good and descent sound system on a small outdoor exercise class. -Ely
