Digital camera reviews of Olympus m:robe MR-500i Digital Music Player with Digital Camera
Digital camera Review: dont be disin the m:robe
Summary: 4 Stars
all right i had the m:robe 500i for about a wek now and im lovin it, its a neat lil thing to have. and all i gota say to the people is to stop disin it becouse you expect everything to be done in a second, i bought this thing new for 200 buks with the shipping.
M;TRIP. i would say that its not the best software for uploading the music onto it but its the only one that you could. The encoding takes about 10 minutes per 3 gigs of music (not like u gona do it every again anyways) and the asound quality improves becouse the bitrate is increased.
M:ROBE
PRO:
looks really cool
is very unique (where have u ever seen an mp3 with a camera b4?)
touchscreen that actualy responds fairly well
COMES WITH 20GB OF SPACE!! there are no mp3's on the market offering that much space and a camera for such a low price....
MID:
the camera could use more work as its a litle primative but the pics dont come out that bad (has no flash or zoon but comes with a build in camera light)
the headphones will need some adjusting to due to the wire being short on the remote control side and long on the other side (just a small formality)
CONS:
kinda heavy but perfectly fits into any pocket i have
i have yet failed to make any screteches on it even thou i dont use the pouch but the fingerprints still show
overall i would like to say that its a really good mp3 and a CAMERA ON THE SIDE not the other way around. u basicaly get a lot of space and technology for your buck.
Digital camera Review: fair
Summary: 4 Stars
its nice, a little slow tho
camera is pretty bad to OK shots never look GOOD
no video is a minus
AWESOME: hacked firmware lets you play doom and other wads (haven't tried others yet) at FULL SPEED
for under 200 bucks it worth a purchase if an ipod is to pricey (it is)
Digital camera Review: great buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the camera/player from amazon and recieved quick delivery. I was very pleased with what i recieved. Its a great device that takes reasonable pictures and plays great sounding music. The only two things that i can find wrong with it is that you have to stand completly still in order to take a photo. The other problem is that at times the touch screen takes some time to respond and you find yourself tapping the screen multiple times. I love this device and recomend it to others. Olympus did a great jobDigital camera Review: m:robe MR 500i
Summary: 2 Stars
The fact that the m:robe can only be managed by one computer is very inconvenient. I got mine as a present with some pictures and tracks already recorded. I had to delete them all to be able to use the m:robe on my own PC.
Also, battery life is nowhere near 8 hours, it's around 3-4 hours on mine.
