microphone for H120

hi!

I´m going to use my Iriver H120 for recording sounds in different atmospheres, sometimes very quiet sounds (if u excuse the expression, dont think its correct english)

have anyone got a microphone tips for me. I dont want to use the preamp in the rockbox to much, not louder than + 20DB cause noticed it started to be some hizz and bums and want to avoid that. and I dont want to use an extarnal preamp cause then there are so much things to carry around. And as I understand there are no mic-in on the H120 as I understood there are on the 320, right?

so do anyone know a good sounding microphone with loud outputlevel (or what its called?) ?

I have been looking on the two microphones: Sony ECM-MS907 and the cheaper one Sony ECM-DS70P. Do anyone have any experience of these two mics and how they works with H120 and rockbox?

Can you anywhere in the specifications see what "outputlevel" it comes from the mics if u look on this site: http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/%20INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?CategoryName=pa_PADepartmentAccessories_Microphones_DigitalMics&ProductSKU=ECMDS70P&TabName=specs&var2=

or this:
http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?CategoryName=pa_PADepartmentAccessories_Microphones_DigitalMics&ProductSKU=ECMMS907&TabName=specs&var2=

Is it this?:
ECM-DS70P: Sensitivity: -38dBV, ±3.5dB for the and
ECM-MS907: Effective Output Level-56 dBm <+->4dB (0dB=1mW/Pa, 1kHz)

so the ECM-DS70P has got higher outputlevel then?

any other tips on other mics? my absolut maximum budget on a mic are about $120

can I get a good result with my H120, rockbox and a mic?

Thanks a lot for your help

Sorry, but I cannot fully understand what you're trying to say :'(.
Both, the H1x0 and H3x0, have an internal mic, and both of them have line-in [However, the US version of the H3x0 does not bundle the external mic (although that mic is no match to the line of mics you're considering)].
Hope this answers your question.

well ... i got that form this page:
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Berlind/?p=46

there it´s said:

--- Quote ---….So, of particular interest to anyone hoping to record with an H3x0 is the line-in port. Compared to the line-in jacks on most recording equipment, the H3x0's line-in jack is unique because, unlike most implementations that involve two separate jacks, one for line-in and the other for mic-in, the jack on the H3x0s that's labled "line-in" can serve as either. If your intention is to use the line-in jack to record audio from a microphone or other audio devices, the user must select through the user interface which of the two modes (line-in or mic-in) the jack should work in.

But anyway ... im pretty sure it´s not possible with the H120, asked just in case :)

my real question is if anyone have got any tips for external microphone

anyone?

Actually both of them use one jack for line-in and mic-in :D.

I know that, but it seems to be possible on the H3x0 to change the impedance on that jack so the one and the same jack can work as both mic-in and line-in.

anyway, I dont think this is possible on H120 and my main question is not about that. It´s about microphones.

so anyone got any suggestion for me?
