Olympus DS-50
$300.00
Released March, 2007
The Pros:Small enough to use it as a portable MP3 player for music if you want. 3 different mic gain levels help with creating different kinds of regordings. Durable enough to be carried with you everywhere.
The Cons:No control over the file names, and they change when transferred from the device to the PC. Tends to pick up background noise very well, difficult to cut it out.
