Digital camera reviews of Sony ICD-B500 Digital Voice Recorder with 256 MB Built-in Flash Memory

Digital camera Review: A little gimmicky
Summary: 3 Stars

The recorder has good sound and it is easy to start recording. Setting up a folder and inserting recordings into that folder is not intuitively obvious. In fact, all the features are not intuitive. You have to read the manual which is not well organized.

However, once you get the hang of it it's a good recorder.
