$72.99 plus shipping. As it is shipped and sold by Amazon, if you add another item to your cart to reach US$100 you can still get another 15% off with Amex https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/213540?page=1#comment-3127… which brings the price down even more on the Tascam.

The lowest price this has ever been was US$69.31 but I waited too long and it jumped up. I just got a camelcamelcamel notice that it dropped down again. If you are a Prime member, it is even cheaper, it says it is US$70.03 for prime however for me the Amazon website says US$72.99

Cheapest price in Australia with Aussie warranty is $129: http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/astore/Tascam-DR-05-Port…

Also consider, some Tascam devices have bad reviews regarding build quality, this is a quality control thing so this could be an issue if you purchase from Amazon because you cannot send it back as easily as a US buyer.

Accessories that I suggest from my research:

This dead cat/windscreen: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HX40OL6/ref=ox_sc_sfl_t…

This is the best Lavalier microphone under $50: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YCI62Y/ref=ox_sc_sfl_t…

Windscreen for Lav mic: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LR0ETO/ref=ox_sc_sfl_t…

Do you want to run two Lav mics at once? Use this cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000068O5H/ref=ox_sc_sfl_t…

Lav mic cable too short? Use this cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DWGLLO/ref=ox_sc_sfl_t…

Want to mount the Tascam to your camera? Use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Z4ROIW/ref=ox_sc_sfl_t…

  • Oh and btw, the reviews I have seen say this is better than the Zoom H1. Bigger, but better. There is also a newer DR-22WL which is more expensive and has wifi, I also missed buying it before the price jumped, however the wifi app is not that great, it does not allow you to listen live.

  • I have one they are pretty good.

  • how are these at recording concerts? I go to a few concerts a year and often record them on my phone for future personal use (seriously, it aint worth the assramming if i got caught distributing them). Would happily buy one of these if it will perform better

    • This will definitely be better than your phone, from my understanding the DR05 has the best microphone configuration between A/B and X/Y: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kpythmet-0

      • Thanks!

    • I use one of these with a $30 Jaycar lav mic for recording pub and music festival gigs, adjust recording level so it doesn't overload and getting great results.

      Use Audacity to edit, EQ, and convert recordings to mp3.

      Agree with strictly personal use only for the recordings.

  • Werent these $69 USD few months ago?

    • Yes, I posted it, but these folks missed it back then. So it's the best bargain today, not best ever. But a bargain is still a bargain.

  • I missed it because I was busy posting this yesterday instead of ordering. Anyway, it is back on again now! I finally managed to order it, for $71.99 plus I used the Amex 15% off again, so it was actually only US$61.20 plus I shipped some other stuff, so it was a great deal.
