Olympus Digital Recorders

Currently there are several brands of digital voice recorders to choose from with two standing out as the most popular at this time: Sony and Olympus. While personally looking for one to fit my own needs, I found Olympus digital recorders to pack the most under the hood for the best price. Sony came in a far second and the others were considerably lagging (mostly due to models that do basically the same thing as the Olympus digital recorders although at a much higher price than the Olympus ones).

Designed for busy professionals, the DM-20 Olympus digital recorders are an extremely popular model and received very high marks in the past for it’s memory capacity (128MB Built-in flash) that provides roughly 45 hours of voice recording time. In addition, DM-20 Olympus digital recorders are capable of holding 120 minutes of high quality mp3 music. 

DM-20 Olympus digital recorders can hook up to both mac or pc, so there isn’t much of a compatibility issue in downloading music or voice recordings. Physically, DM-20 Olympus digital recorders are really quite sharp looking and at 3 oz. they are relatively light. This is good news for people who travel a lot as they can easily be placed in a pocket or purse. 

DM-20 Olympus digital recorders also have some nice features that make them even more attractive, such as an alarm clock type feature, different play-back modes, the ability to save files in either WMA or DSS format, and an external microphone jack. 

I found the main draw back of DM-20 Olympus digital recorders is the lack of an on/ off switch – something that really should have been included. You need to hold down the hold button for several seconds before it will shut down. Other than that, DM-20 Olympus digital recorders are certainly worth your attention. They currently sell for anywhere between $180 – $270 dollars, so shop around for the best prices.

DS-5000 Olympus digital recorders were recently launched in the market, giving consumers a product that is both practical and easy to use.

If you are a writer or a researcher for your company, DS-5000 Olympus digital recorders are worth checking out for fast and excellent work. This model is also getting trendy among college students as well, helping them in reviewing their difficult lectures when examination time is near.

DS-5000 Olympus digital recorders use a 512 MB MicroSD-Picture Card is. The large amount of storage lets you save a considerable amount of recordings and files in the recorder.

The line of DS-5000 Olympus digital recorders also give you the option of using a footswitch. While not included in the package  it is a seperate option that can be most handy, so it is advisable that you buy a footswitch in case you need it in the future.

DS-5000 Olympus digital recorders come with a USB cable, an A513 AC adaptor, user’s manual, warranty card, and so on. Basically everything you need to get started.
