Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Olympus WS-331M Digital Voice Recorder and WMA Music Player
Customer Review: GREAT recorder/HORRIBLE Battery Situation - Check WS-500 or M510
Summary: 4 Stars
MY USES: Recording speakers and lecturers; research (one-on-one interviews); telephone recording through Olympus phone recorder cable system (highly recommended)
** Olympus RULES the DVR market, IMHO. Clarity great; ability to set speeds/quality is wonderful; there is a learning curve to use it but it's manageable (do it AHEAD of your need, though - a tricky little DVR!) High quality feel in hand and discreet; others tend to forget it's there, which sometimes is important when interviewing.
1) Excellent recorder for all purposes, including recording crucial phone calls as needed; just be sure to carry batteries (sigh...) as you will lose recordings if battery dies in the process...
2) HORRIBLE battery life/set-up as you cannot shut this off - move a slider to "hold" and supposedly preserve battery - not in my experience. Why no "off" switch? No idea. 21 hrs battery life? Who's zooming who?
3) Does NOT charge battery, even if using rechargeable AAA NiMH, when attached to
computer...WS-500/510 do, thankfully - but those do not have music capabilities, if important to you (it's not to me - that's for my iPod!)
4) For the price, my recommendatn: the WS-500 or WS-510 models. I bought this one first and have used it for nearly 2 yrs - no WS-500/510 at that time. It has served it purposes well, but the 500/510 are now better choices.
