SONY makes two decent portable casette recorders: the walkman pro
(about $300) and another small model which has been out for about
four years, in the same ballpark pricewise.  I doubt that these are
good enough for most ethnomusicological field work though.  If you
want that type of quality, I think Nakamichi makes an excellent
model.  The best field work is still done with Nagra portable reel-to-reel
as far as I know.  I don't own any of the stuff mentioned, but know
people with the SONY's who are very happy with them.
