black wasp!

Hey Gordon, I went back and read more reviews of the LS100. The most common complaint is stuff they could probably fix with firmware updates, but probably won't because it'd require a manual rewrite etc — the user interface, particularly with regard to recording (every time you press record it's like a 4-step process before it actually happens). Also the battery is not standard AA.

The only context in which it's really called for, to be honest, is field recording. Because the extra information is really handy when you're slowing shit down heaps and stuff.

Last point is true! But yes, looking at SGH's patterns... the hypercardioid has a much more pronounced sensitivity to the stuff directly behind it.

Read some reviews of that Olympus and they weren't as complimentary as they were toward more established field equipment (Sony PCM-M10, PCM-D50, Marantz etc)... but maybe I'll look at a few more.
