Will this recorder allow me to pause, rewind a short distance, then record over my last sentence or two and continue recording the same file?

That isn't possible but you can pause and start recording again. As you record each new "piece" they are given its seperate recording name so you can substitute if you like. What you want can be done with a tape recorder but not these Sony's.

Darren,Forgot to add....you can do what you want with editing software but frankly that would be a pain to do

Not to record, no. Unless I missed it somewhere. You get a new file whenever you start and stop recording.

Yes; you can set it to record/stop by the buttons on the box. Device works well - great buy.

I have not used it to record but two (2) splits. I would think it could record numerous splits as you must record the split manually to some other media, such as paper. I did not read the details thoroughly as I need a device to record and store the splits within the stopwatch for later retrieval. I have had no operational problems with the device and find it easy to use. I had to learn not to touch the button on the top of the device as it is easy to change the modes without knowing you have done so. If used for recording few splits or if not being able to store the splits internally is no concern, I would recommend it.

I wish I could help, but so far I've only used it for dictation. On the other hand, Sony's description says it can be used to record lectures, which would imply considerable distance.

Hi, the camera can replay your recorded video in slow motion. It is best when used in a brightly lighted area (outside in daylight)

When recording anything more than a 5-10 minutes, I need to let it "warm up" by first recording some throw-away content for about one to two times the length of time of what I ultimately need to record. But after it is warmed up, it is fine indefinitely (or until I run out of disk space).

It doesnt pause. When you stop and restart, it's recorded as a new video on the card. Windows Movie Maker works excellent for piecing the clips back together.

Yes, one button allow you to start/stop the recording. About the ten minutes I think It can, depends on the battery.

Yes you can pause the cd recorder at any time. Each pause adds a 'track'. Hope this helps.

I'm not familiar with a "digital voice mini-recorder". Wish I could help, but can't.

you can pause the video play back, but not really the video recording (which is no different than stopping the recording...which you can do). It's cheap, water resistant...but the mic is not well designed for heavy water use. I also have trouble with it sometimes giving me a "slow media" error. I don't use mine anymore and would not reccomend it to anyone.

I'm still getting used to mine, but, yes, you can start recording right away. Just hit the red rec/pause button. Every time you stop a recording (by hitting the black stop button), then hit the rec/pause, it starts a new recorded file. I'm still tinkering with mine and getting used to the fast-forward and rewind functions, but I like it so far. If you haven't downloaded the complete user manual, you should. It'll answer any questions you have about operating the recorder.

If contiguous recording but able to stop in the middle of a recording is the requirement for a dictation, then no this recorder would not suite your needs. The quality of the recording is wonderful and the ability to use micro SD cards to expand its memory make is quite useful. However, the controls to operate the device leave something to be desired. Everytime I use it I need to review the user instructions.

No. The recorder has an on-off switch on one side. Once you turn it on, it will continue to record until it runs out of space, charge or you turn it off. It records in 4 hour chunks, so if you leave it running for 8 hours, for instance, you will get two 4 hour files.

yes it can record continuous and it does record over the old video at a certain point, you can also download a certain recorded video to usb drive that way you can save it for future files

I can't answer for certain, but as long as you can connect your recorder to your computer, I don't see why not. Wish I could be more helpful.
