Amazon.com Product Description
The W-10 doesn't just make it easy to record, it makes it easy to manage audio and image files, too. With two folders devoted to audio files--each capable of storing 100 messages--and a dedicated folder for image files that can hold 250 pictures, organizing and locating important files is simple. You can even move files between folders and erase a single file or an entire folder. Thumb-pad navigation is available with a jog dial, and the W-10's built-in 16 MB memory provides up to three hours of recording in long-play mode (other modes are standard and high-quality). Audio is stored as WAV files, and images are JPEGs. The recorder can be voice activated, and it even has an alarm feature, so you'll never miss an interview. Included Voice Album software lets you display pictures on a PC monitor in slide show fashion and add descriptions and narration to recorded images. An LCD panel shows recording time remaining, sound quality, folder name, and other non-image-related information (though the LCD cannot be used to review pictures). When the recorder is hooked up to an external monitor, however, visual indexing lets you display an image while playing related audio. The W-10 uses a 0.3 Megapixel CMOS chip for visual indexing (640 x 480 resolution). The W-10 runs on two AAA batteries (not supplied) and cannot run from an AC adapter. Two batteries run about 24 hours. Supported operating systems include Microsoft Windows 98, 98SE, Me, 2000 Professional, and XP Professional and Home editions. Your computer must be running an Intel Pentium II class 233 MHz or faster with 64 MB RAM minimum and a Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 sound board (or 100 percent compatible). Your video card and display must be 800 x 600 pixels minimum with 256 colors minimum. One available USB port is required.

Good Recorder, Pathetic Camera August 13, 2008
Carl Klutzke (Indianapolis, IN USA)
I wasn't hoping for much from the camera, and it's a good thing. Not only is the picture quality lousy, the alignment between viewfinder and lens is iffy enough that you need to leave some room around the image to make sure you get everything you want. That having been said, it's fine as a voice recorder--as my two other Olympus recorders have been--and at a good price. And having a lousy camera is arguably better than none at all. I'm a little concerned about the analog volume control wheel, since I'm sure that's what broke on my first Olympus recorder, but I like the controls better than my old VN3100 that I just gave to my son.
 What A Gizmo August 9, 2008
Mark J. Anderson
What a gizmo! It records, it takes pictures, it does other things! It is, in all gizmostity, quite the gadget.
All seriousness aside, a slender voice recorder is a handy tool to have, especially if you find yourself needing to collect information in a hurry. I use mine for accident and crime scene investigation. I can collect details in a hurry which frees me up for more intuitive, first impression stuff. Useful to me is the sync between pictures and sound. I can take a picture and then comment on the details. (And of course, so can you.)
I still carry my camera. The picture detail in the Olympus is pretty good but if detail is important, I go for the Canon.
That it cost less the $40 with tax and shipping makes it a bargain.
Sweet deal for a nifty recorder. August 6, 2008
Kim (New York State)
Works like a charm. Haven't tried the camera, but really didn't buy it for that function. This baby is ultra sensitive and picks up everything- including background noise I'd rather it didn't! Don't use it in a room where there is traffic outside or you will be able to count every vehicle that went by. You'll still be able to hear speaking in a room clearly though so all in all- great recorder at a great price!
 A good little voice recorder August 2, 2008
K. Williams
The voice recorder works great, and is easy to operate. Forget the camera, I wasn't expecting much but taking any picture indoors is useless, don't buy it for the camera.
