I love this camera: its small size and low weight makes it convenient to slip into a bag, its look is nice and it is very functional and intuitive: no need to harp on the record. The settings are simple. The record is clear. The playback speed can be varied (slow + or -, normal or fast + or -). There is a slot for a SD HC, just to increase the memory. There are 3 recording modes: talk, loud noises and dictation. You can even add a strap to lend to a child (hole on one side). I say more than that it's great voice recorder and that it will go well services. I would have liked to have on the benches of the university to save my classes !!! At the time, mine was an Olympus ... cassettes. What progress. Olympus has always been for me a flagship brand.
