Portable Recording Equipment?

so, I'd love to do some field sampling... the mic's on iPhones are aight, but I got it stolen on vacation. So I was wondering, do any of you guys use or suggest a good mic or piece of gear to rec good quality audio while on the go? I need to prepare a portfolio for a sound program by end of month, and would love to record sounds outdoors for a few projects. cheers

The mpc 500 runs on batteries, if you can get some kinda of decent mic you could have a good quality sampler for on the go

The built-in mics on the Tascam DP008 are really decent, plus you got 8 tracks to play with.

Zoom H4N for multitrack recording or Zoom H1 for stereo mics.
