Need A Decent Digital Recorder... Options

[Wolfsnap]

Hello all!

I have written several acoustic guitar pieces and have been using Reason to orchestrate background for these pieces.

What would be a good portable solution for recording (preferablly digital) my analog guitar to get it to a digital format for mixing. Keeping in mind, this is a "hobby" for me and my budget is limited (would like to stay in the mid-hundreds). I'm thinking something in a Sony minidisc and a decent mic...have no clue as to the mic. I would like to keep it portable, allowing me to record field samples and sound effects for other projects.

Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
