Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony ICD-MS515 Memory Stick Digital Voice Recorder with Voice-to-Print Compatibility
Customer Review: Perfect for lectures, but wish it was SD
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using this for recording my lectures since 2006 and it has yet to fail me. I attribute my good grades while working full time hours by my being able to easily transfer the files to my mp3 player and listen to them while working/driving/doing laundry/raking leaves, etc. The only way this could be better if it recorded to SD so I could just transfer the memory card rather than move files via pc.Customer Review: Terrible Recorder!
Summary: 1 Stars
The reason that I only give it one star is because this product is way overpriced. And, what seems to be good features are not as good as expected. Voice to Print compatiablity is no actual use unless you only use it to record a particular's voice. And, you have to ask the person to train the software for hours. Who can afford such time? It is just not realistic! There is this one big button which is designed/used for 100 different things depending on how you push it down. It is horrible! If you push it in the wrong angle, wrong windows/functions popped up! It is very annoying! One easy job sometimes take me 5 minutes to complete because wrong windows pop up all the time. The button just do not cooperate! Frustrating! I am going to return mine tomorrow. And, the back light only light with power cord plugged in. Who is going to take the power cord to travel? Without back light, the lines/words are very hard to read. I have Sony ICDB25. It costs only 1/4 of this 515 model, but it is much easier to use. The buttons are all seperated, and the recorder is not confused! And the recording quality is not better for this pricy model. The only good thing is that this model has a removable memory stick. But, do we have to pay so much more for this? I am going to buy another ICDB25 today. Memory stick is expensive too! It only include an 8mb stick which is really nothing!Customer Review: lamborghini exterior with a volkswagon interior
Summary: 1 Stars
this little voice recorder has all the nice features you want it to have. the 8 mb memory stick it comes with can record up to one hour and maybe 10 minutes on the highest quality mode and if you get the 128 mb memory stick you could record up to 17 hours on the highest quality mode. also the size is small.but all of this recording time and size is absolutely worthless if it can't record! its like having a lamborghini exterior but with a volkswagon interior. the sound of the device is pathetic... well at least compared to the much cheaper ICD-ST10. this machine is the type that if you turn up the volume full blast you will hear lots of hissing sounds and the vibrations from the sound wave will make the machine buzz. i've had the ICD-ST10 for quite a while and getting the ICD-MS515 is a DOWNGRADE... at least in terms of sound.
ask yourself this: would you rather have mud wrapped up in a nice little package? ... or a diamond wrapped in mud?!
listen to me now and belive me later!
if you go to school like me your better off getting two ICD-ST10s (for the recording time capacity) instead of the ICD-MS515.
