The DS-30 offers users up to 68 hours of recording time with its 256 MB worth of internal flash memory.

4 out of 5 stars Voice Recorder   October 3, 2008
B. Leffingwell
A great product, much improved over the one I had before in that it has a lot more storage, more folders. My only reservation is that the batteries run down faster.


2 out of 5 stars Great Sound Quality - No Rewind Button   September 18, 2008

I was a novice to the digital voice recorder industry when I bought my DS30. I thought it would be a good replacement for my Dictaphone, however, nothing in the product description warned me that common features found on tape recorders, like fast forward, rewind and the ability to record over a section are considered "advanced" and "advanced professional" features. For those entering the digital voice recording arena beware, if the product description does not say the voice recorder has "advanced" features like rewind, fast forward, overwrite and/or insert, it doesn't.

5 out of 5 stars good things do come in small packages   September 9, 2008

The Olympus DS-30 Digital Voice Recorder is everything I had hoped it would be.

The quality of the recording is good enough that even when I record an instructor from across the room, I can clearly understand what he or she is saying. It is compact, lightweight and easy to use.

The cost is in excess of $ 100.00, however, the alternative, missing something important at a lecture or in a class, would be far more costly. Not having to change a tape is great and the record time limit is so high, I only erase once a week.

I may even have a little fun and do some "EVP" work around here. Grant, Jason, you guys listening? LOL



4 out of 5 stars Very satified except couple improvments need to make for DS-30   September 9, 2008
Z. gao (CA)
This is very elegant small guy, so far functions very well. I got very satisfied from the sound quality and sensitivity. I use this to record the prof. lectures. One flaw I think they could improve is putting a clip on it, so it would slip around in my bag or pocket. Overall, this is great product. Recommend!
