Spent a lot of time researching the web for a Digital Recorder to use for work. Need a device that is simple to use, has a long battery life, is well made and compact. This Olympus certainly fits the bill for me. I use it primarily for recording conversations amongst groups of people - and it really excels.
With the 8GB SD card that comes as part of the bundle - there is masses of storage.
In contrast to the other reviewer (and this may depend on expectaions) - the sound quality is very good. I have used a Sony Pro Walkman up until now - and this easily exceeds anything I can get with that - even without using an external mike. Picks-up minimal background noise - and even on the lower quality audio settings - everything is crisp, clear and distinctive.
There are lots of menu options (all fairly intuitive and easy to understand) - that can be set-up in advance. Take a little time here and the results are very, very good. Microphone sensitivity is excellent.
It's very light and made like a tank - fully expect it to stand-up to years of use and abuse.
I use mine primarily mounted on a small tripod to reduce reflections off hard surfaces.
One VERY minor gripe (not really) - is that battery life isn't quite the 12 hours quoted.
Other than that - this has to be the best small digital recorder on the market.
 Well-made machine but with an Achilles heel April 22, 2008

The attractive-looking Olympus LS-10 offers a solid construction and well-thought-out ergonomics which are ahead of other similarly-priced compact recorders.
Battery life is outstanding. Having an internal 2Gb memory in addition to taking SD cards is also a welcome feature. The LCD screen provides more information at-a-glance than some of its likely competitors (eg the Marantz PMD 620) yet remains clearly readable. The button layout, and the inclusion of an 'erase' button, is well designed.
The internal mics and pre-amp provide a pretty good sound, with little audible hiss, although anyone seeking to use the LS-10 outdoors a lot may often find themselves often selecting the high sensitivity setting.
However, if you're looking to make use of the Line-in jack, be warned. You'll only get very low sound levels if you're using an external mic and external pre-amp. Why Olympus set the sensitivity of the Line-in jack so low is something of a mystery.
The several strengths and one weakness of the LS-10 probably reflect Olympus's established expertise in making voice recorders, and their lack of experience in the needs of musicians and dedicated sound recordists.
