Olympus Mju 1030SW Digital Camera - British Green (10.1MP, 3.6x Digital Zoom) 2.7" LCD

from: Olympus

March 24, 2008
I bought the camera mainly because of its waterproof feature as I was going to be doing a lot of snorkeling on holiday.
I took some amazing underwater photos and was truly impressed until day 12 of the holiday when it stopped working. An error message reported that the card slot cover wasn't closed properly, when it was most definitely was. After a few hours of this it completely died which was really annoying.

I did a bit of research when we got home and it appears that a few of the Olympus models have this problem - something to do with the cover sensors.
Knowing this I opted for a refund rather than a replacement - which is another good reason to buy from Amazon :)

Olympus TP-7 Multi Purpose Adapter

This nifty gadget allows you to record any phone conversations - landlines and mobiles - without complications, and with excellent sound quality. I have used mine in combination with a WS-40 digital recorder for the past year and it is fantastic for phone interviews. I rave about it so often that two colleagues have purchased it based on my recommendation.

Olympus 2Gb xD-Picture Card - Type M+ with panorama function

from: Olympus


I paid £14.00 or theer abouts for this from Amazon which, compared to high street prices is an absolute steal! I'm using it in my Olympus E410 Digital SLR (10 million pixels) and with photo quality set to standard gives me just under 1,000 exposures.

Olympus WS-331M Digital Voice Recorder

August 21, 2007
I just took a job that requires me to record lectures, presentations and one-on-one interviews. My old Sony cassette recorder quickly proved inconvenient for the purpose - if only in trying to keep up with its endless demand for batteries and blank tapes. Reviews of this recorder inspired me to give it a chance.

I fully expected the sound quality to be better than the cassette recorder, which added hiss both during recording AND playback. But the sound quality is better than I had hoped for. Last night I recorded a lecture where the speaker did not use a microphone and I had no hope of getting near the front of the room. I set the recorder on my knee and hoped that would be enough. The result is a recording that, while not perfect, leaves every word ... Read More:

Olympus VN-120 Digital Voice Recorder

from: Olympus

October 19, 2005
Have used this for four years and cannot fault it. It is light and very easy to use. I initially thought I would be using it for work but have found it ideal for keeping a record of the birds I see on a daily basis. With three files I have had notes from meetings in one, a list of 50 birds in another and then reminders of what I have to do in the day in the third. Its smaller than a mobile phone and the batteries last a long time. With 2hrs recording time you dont need to spend more. I'd highly recommend it.

Olympus DS-50 Digital Voice Recorder with MP3/WMA Playback 1GB

from: Olympus

The quality of the audio recordings that this little device produces is astounding for something so small. Its memory capacity and battery life are huge. It is sturdy, small, lightweight, well-designed and very easy to use. I have used it for recording everything from interviews to symphony concerts and it has coped superbly every time. The recording quality is far superior to anything I have heard from a tape recorder and the files produced can (if they are not too long) be e-mailed easily to anyone who needs them. I would happily give it 5 stars on every scale I can think of.

Olympus - Case for digital photo camera - neoprene

from: Olympus


I was quite happy about the prospect of taking my camera out in the surf to shoot some pic's, unfortunately the case showed it's true colours... Believe me, it may look suitable for Lara Croft, but its not. As I tightened up the strap the neoprene began to tear along the seam, and the magnet that holds the case lid closed was of no use in the water, really need a good slab of Velcro to keep it closed, and the main strap should be made of a material that doesn't stretch, to allow it to be properly strapped on and not flex lose... A complete load of rubbish for anyone wanting to take their camera out in surf over 2ft. much better off slinging it under your wetsuit...
