Olympus pushes out DS-5000 and DS-5000iD non-fascist Dictators

Olympus, who seems to be single-handedly keeping the digital voice recorder market alive and well, has cranked out yet another duo in the sector today, and neither of ‘em come cheap. The DS-5000 and DS-5000iD both offer up support for dual memory cards (SD / SDHC and microSD) and feature a backlit LCD, digital dictation software, USB connectivity, up to 28 hours of battery life and a new QP recording mode for enhanced sound quality. The latter plus features an integrated fingerprint scanner for the

super sleuths in the crowd, and there’s even an optical barcode scanner whether you’re looking to really convert your voice recorder into something MacGyver would approve of. certain, both units come with a transcription kit, USB cradle, carrying case and 512MB microSD card, but we’re still a little hesitant to lay down $499.99 / $599.99 to pick either of them up.
