The Olympus LS-10 had several deficiencies that were corrected in the LS-11=
and LS-5, notably the lack of ability to record in mono or split files. It=
makes little sense for this model to be re-issued unless these were also f=
ixed.
But I wonder, since the info page says this has 12h record time, the same a=
s the original LS-10, but half of that achieved on the subsequent models. T=
his new unit comes with a case but not the bundled software or remote of th=
e original LS-10.
If one wants a stripped-down package with 2GB internal memory and all the f=
irmware fixes, the LS-5 makes a lot more sense. It seems that Olympus are r=
e-issuing an inferior model just to get something else out for the US marke=
t.
How very odd.
