ZOOM H2 - Sounds great, records multiple stereo modes, including 4 channel surround, WAV or MP3 with variable sampling, built in compression and limiting, use SD card, etc. etc. It seems that the main difference with the H4 is no balanced inputs. I got mine for $150 new on eBay.

The Korg Pandora 4 track is a handy little piece with a 1/4" jack, built in effects, and beats. It is tiny and pretty durable. The only problem is it uses SmartMedia Cards which are becoming hard to find. Because it is becoming obsolete you could probably get one cheap. I used one for recording until i got a Roland (it's obsolete too).

how much?

$199 most places! Comes with headphones, table stand, mic stand adapter, mic screen, a 512 SD card and a pouch. It will fit in most standard sized digital camera cases. I use 2gb SD cards and it can use 4gb HDSD cards (only certain brands though).

dont forget you can get microphones to plug into your ipod. they work great for recording ideas and rehearsals and you just may have one already.
