Summary: It's just as I wanted it to be
Comment: I just received my new Olympus W-10 Digital Voice Recorder and I'm completely happy with it. It's light weight, including batteries. The size is ok, the quality of the recordings is good as long as you use HQ (High Quality). Like almost any other voice recorder, LP (Long Playback) is useless because of the poor quality, unless you use it for recording your own voice in front of the microphone. Using the Recorder is so simple that I only use the manual for reference.
The software included is amazing. It was so easy to install and to download wave and image files from the voice recorder to the computer, that I couldn't belive it. I downloaded 4 pictures in less than five seconds!! You can also upload voice files from your computer to the Recorder.
The pictures are not as good as any digital camera, however taking pictures is not it's main function so I think the quality of the pictures is good enough. It doesn't have a flash so you can't take pictures without enough light, however it has an indicator that warns you if the Recorder can take the picture or not.
It also has an alarm associated with any voice record (maximum 5 records) so you can set the alarm to remember a special event and the recording associated can be played after the alarm. The only problem with this alarm is that it is not loud enough.
The best of all is that this product includes everything; batteries, carrying case, strap, USB cable, earphones and software so you don't need to buy anything else.

Summary: Olympus W10
Comment: I am a teacher and I was looking for a digital recorder that would allow me to put audio material on my website and in my email. The W10 with its software is extremely easy to use with a computer. The audio quality is very good. The digital camera is a real plus. I am pleasantly surprised about the quality of the pictures. I have taken pictures inside and outside and the pictures are very clear for such a small camera. The pictures are also easy to download to a computer. To sum it all up, I really am pleased with my purchase of the Olympus W10. It may not be for every application, but it sure works for me.

Summary: Incredibly Handy
Comment: This is an incredible value for a Digital Voice Recorder. It has 1hr. of recording capacity at the highest resolution setting. Over 10 hours of battery life. Voice Activated. All software, cables, earphone piece, and case are included. It's incredibly slim. Easy to manage. And it'll take pictures (not the highest quality but definately am added bonus). What more could you really want?? I am a very satisfied customer.

Summary: A Must For Any Paranormal Investigator
Comment: I purchased this unit because almost every investigator with my local research team were using this particular model ... boy I couldn't be happier. This wonderful unit is so incredibly simple to use and to transfer your sound files from the recorder to the PC using your USB connection. I have recorded several EVP's (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) on mine and every team member has had great success with theirs. Don't buy this if you are looking for a camera! This is a voice recorder. It is nice to have the camera for emergencys but don't expect great quality. If you want a camera ... buy a camera! If you are looking for a voice recorder to investigate the paranormal this is your recorder.

Summary: One of the best Voice Recorders ever made
Comment: I didn't really had this Recorder, but my sister did and i borrowed it many times.
It's really amazing Recorder. Sound is very clear and understandable, it's small, easy to use for everybody. You can connect it to comp without problems and transferring of data's is a matter of seconds.
It also have a very nice 0.3mpxl camera. I thought that images will be bad, but for 0.3 camera it's just amazing.
We had really much fun with this recorder and also used it for studying in university. Highly recommended!!!
