Hi Lily
I would pick the Sony PCM-M10 because its internal (omni-directional) micro=
phones are considerably quieter than those of the Olympus.
The choice between the two recorders is of course also a matter of personal=
taste and would depend on the way how it is being used.
For instance, I usually record only for relatively short periods of time an=
d I regularly transfer the recordings to my computer once I returned from a=
trip. The 4 GB built-in memory is therefore more than enough for me (provi=
ding a total recording time of 6 hours at 44.10kHz/16bit).
Regards,
Raimund
