Thanks for all of your great product reviews. I like to record live concerts and am not sure which recorder to get (the LS-10 or the D-50). In such a situation, it’s nice to have something small that does not call attention to itself, hence there is often a tradeoff between quality and what you can get away with carrying with you. It appears to me that the LS-10 is better in this regard.

Any thoughts? Do you think the D-50 is worth the extra $100? Like you said earlier, this is the first high-quality Olympus recorder, so perhaps it’s best to be a it cautious.

Thanks,
O.T.

I have that thing clipped to my belt all day.
The windscreens on the olympus snap in to place and do a pretty good job stopping moderate bursts of air.

But I’d say either recorder would probably fit your needs. They both seem to record decent quality sound whether you’re using the internal mics or a plug in mic. In both cases you’ll have much better results with an external mic, as the built in mics are sensitive to wind noise.

If you want to take a gamble and use the internal mics, and if money is a concern, I’d go with the Olympus recorder for now. It’s a bit cheaper, and it comes with windscreens for the built in mics, while you have have to pay $50 for an optional windscreen for the Sony recorder.

I’d like to start adding sound to my street photography endeavors (www.citysnaps.net).

For that, and an occasional interview with people on the street, how would you compare the usefulness of the LS-10 with the D50?

Thanks – Brad
