Subject: Field recording equipment

Can anyone suggest good field recording equipment, conventional or
digital? I'm soon off on an elicitation project and my most recent
experience is with a Sony Professional Walkman, pretty old and there
must be better around now. I need the usual: fidelity, rugged
reliability, uncomplicated, directional mic, small size (device and
battery), ease of playback and rewind (to hear again), foolproof,
media compatability, .... Any suggestions appreciated, and I'll post
a summary.
