Folks,

I've found that my (relatively) low-cost Olympus DS-30 compares favorably w=
hen compared to my Zoom H2, for instance. Sometimes I prefer to use it (wit=
h an external mic) for some quick nature recordings. Even the stereo mics t=
hat come with it aren't so bad. And, because of it's size, it's so easy to =
make sure you have it with you all the time.
And it does feature 44.1 kHz sampling rate, after all.
I was hoping that some other members of this group would care to discuss th=
eir experiences & opinions Re: these low-cost recorders?

In fact, I'm thinking of buying another one in the future: The Olympus WS-1=

d that I don't have the funds available for an Olympus LS-10.

In any case, I was just wondering if anyone else has been pleasantly surpri=
sed by one of these types of low-cost recorders?

Thanks in advance,

Al
