This item works fine, my only problem is that i expected the audio files to be easily transported out of the device and into folders in my computer, however i found you cant,(i had hoped to add its audio to videos i'd made) but if your looking for a dictaphone from which to take notes from lectuers and interviews, its perfect.oh and dont bother with the camera function.its useless.
I recently purchased the voice recorder and was a little hesitant due to the fact that it was a refurb. I have, so far, had no problem with the product and think it was a great purchase.
That said, the high quality setting seems to work quite well in a variety of situations. As others have said, the low quality setting yields poor results unless the sound source is close by and quite loud. I haven't used the camera, but I would suspect that it is poor, at best.
I was very pleased with my purchase - the price was good, the shipping well-protected, and It was in great condition. Instructions are clear to follow and it is very useful.
The sound quality is pretty low, even on "HQ", but, for the price, I really can't complain. It sounds like a very old-school tape recorder in a lot of ways. I bought this recorder to create some podcasts of my classes (high school). I'm not even going to talk about the camera as a functioning part of the piece because it's a piece of crap (your cell phone will do much better). But the recorder is easy to use, with working through the menu being easy enough for a bunch of 14-year-olds to figure out. The idea is to have the students record certain group projects and then use the audio to create "quick and dirty" podcasts - nothing fancy. If you're looking for something quick, simple, and cheap and the sound quality isn't an issue as long as it's audible, then the Olympus W-10 is your best bet.
