Product reviewsOlympus WS-852 4GB Digital Voice Recorder

Another Good Olympus DVR!

I've lots of different Olympus digital voice recorders.

PRO: (1) The USB plug that can be slid out, for plugging into a PC, extends out of the top of this machine, whereas, in all others, it came out of the bottom. Then, the PC just treats the device like a plugged in external drive. (2) The slide to bring out that USB plug is much smoother than all of the others. (3) The recording quality (with no scene/level changes made, by me) is excellent, but it's always better when you get it playing on a PC, etc.. (4) It's a beautifully visually designed instrument...a very attractive device to look at, and that's important, to me. (5) Uses 2 AAA batteries, which I prefer to only 1. (6) It's got a nice micro card slot, for expansion, and I fully intend to expand it!

CON: (1) No screen/display backlight! If you're in an area with good light, that won't matter to you. (2) It has a physical, manual sliding ON switch on the right side, which I'm recently unaccustomed to, but I'm getting used to it, already.

Go ahead and buy it...you'll have no cause to be sorry!
