  • A good choice for the casual MP3 listener/business user

    May 13 '02
    Pros: Excellent sound quality, removable smartmedia storage, long recording time.
    Cons: Adequate recording quality, poor case design, limited MP3 navigation

    Summary: First, let me say that I have not been disappointed with the Olympus. It has it's quirks, and a limited feature set for both voice recording and music playback, but in combining an MP3/WMA player with a functional voice recorder, and with removable ... read more

  • Form and function, not alot of frills.

    Pros: Good quality. Sturdy design.
    Cons: Alittle larger then comparable units, can't rewind and edit. Price.

    Summary: I'm the first to admit I don't have a ton of experience with the digital recorders available on the market today. This Olympus DM-1 was provided to me for use on the job in my capacity as a police supervisor. The unit for the most part is very capable ... read more

  • Simply the best voice recorder on the market!

    Aug 27 '04
    Pros: Sound quality is fantastic, price is great, easy to use right out of box
    Cons: Only 64 MB of built-in storage, integrated speaker is total junk

    Jul 09 '04
    Pros: way cheaper than sony, great look and build
    Cons: inflexibility in post-management of files

    Summary: I owned a 3-year-old sony model that doesn't record high quality sound. I used the recorder for choral rehearsal so audio quality is important to me. As I was shopping, I noticed that a comparable Sony model, like the previous reviewer mentioned, costs ... read more

  • First look

    Jun 18 '04
    Pros: Small size, solid build, great recordings, and wonderful software!
    Cons: I have yet to test it in the field.

    Summary: I normally like to use a product extensively before I write a review of a product, but there are no reviews on this just now. That, and I have come to rely on user Epinions for my purchases, so I might as well start, then update after I have used this ... read more

  • perfect lecture recorder!!!

    Cons: SmartMedia must have ID ability, Could be smaller, Battery life could be longer,Pricey

    Summary: I purchased this device to record meetings and presentations. I find that it does that very well. I would like to think that these days I would not have to compromise anything when paying $170.00. Wish list. I wish it had the option of ... read more

  • An expensive digital recorder, but you get what you pay for

    Sep 16 '02
    Pros: Lightweight, Comes with a padded holder, Best quality recording in minimal space.
    Cons: Turning off is difficult when in holder.

    Summary: I have been using the DM-1 daily for about a month and am about 99% satisfied with its performance. The sound quality, ease of operation, and dual functionality as an MP3 player earns a hardy recommendation from me. Using Standard play, ... read more

  • Give up your microcassette!

    Mar 05 '02
    Pros: excellent voice recording quality and capacity.
    Cons: Be careful it doesn't get stolen!

    Summary: This device is a techie's AND non-techie's dream! For the non-techie - it can record for 11 hours on a set of AAA alkaline batteries, and, conveniently, the included 64MB flash memory card can store about 10.5 hours of recorded voice. With an AC ... read more

    Pros: Small, great features, very clear recording
    Cons: Limited storage

    Summary: My husband surprised me with this device so I could record my class lectures. It is awesome. It picks up voices with such clarity, yet filters out bothersome background noise. And the clear music is also a plus. The only drawback is that I must
