Digital camera reviews of Olympus WS-510M 4GB Digital Voice Recorder and WMA/MP3 Music Player
Digital camera Review: Lousy with outside interferences...doesn't differentiate speaker's voice
Summary: 1 Stars
Purchased this Olympus WS-510M 4GB Digital Voice Recorder and WMA/MP3 Music Player
primarily to record outside lectures. Totally unsuited for this purpose, even when the recorder was being held by the speaker. Wind and extraneous noises overwhelmed the speaker's voice. Very disappointing.
Digital camera Review: Love this recorder!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this recorder!! Very easy to use and very portable with included carrying sleeve. The recorded sound quality is amazing and simple to transfer to pc. The battery life is excellent too. It comes with a rechargeable AAA battery you can recharge by connecting the recorder to your pc with included cable. You can use regular AAA batteries too. Recorded three live concerts in a very noisy atmosphere and I am very pleased with the outstanding audio recording by this Olympus! I would highly recommend this recorder.Digital camera Review: Olympus WS-510M

I searched for weeks to find a good product at the best value. This item exceeded by far anything I could find in retail brick & mortar stores which is why I love to shop Amazon. Based on other reviews I decided to buy it and it has performed amazingly. The directions are short, easy to understand and are intuitive. It's easy to charge and the battery seems to last forever. I'm very happy with the product.Digital camera Review: Olympus WS-510M

Love this recorder,was easy to use and compact.The sound quality was okay and I had to purchase an external microphone. That aside it holds hours of lectures and made my college life easier.Digital camera Review: Olympus ships with inferior case.
Summary: 4 Stars
I will update this review in the near future.
First, I just noticed that this item is now $5 dollars less than I paid for it on October 26. It is now $105 as compared to $109. Oh well.
I have not used this item yet, as I purchased it because I thought that my other recorder, Olympus DS2, Olympus DS-2 Digital Voice Recorder was dying after three years. The DS 2 did not die. I will be using the WS-510 in transit tomorrow, and have found that unlike the DS 2, the WS-510 came with what I would call a pouch, and it prohibits using the functions of the recorder while it is in the pouch. It looks like Olympus will cheerfully sell me a case that might allow me to use the functions of the recorder (I cannot tell, because the photos of the cases do not show detail). I can buy a Olympus - Case for digital voice recorder or perhaps a Olympus Premium Case - Case for digital voice recorder - black.
This recorder needs one AAA battery. The DS 2 needed two. I am not sure how long they lasted because I constantly forgot to put the thing in sleep mode when I was not using it.
I am only going to use this for voice recording, and if it works as well as the DS 2, I will be happy.
