These high quality portable recorders are currently being discounted at well below half price in Amazon Lightning sales...

Might be a viable alternative for anyone who finds the Zoom H2n too overcomplicated to operate...???

I'm seeing a wild variance in prices on Amazon: $493, $377, $238, $199, $155, $134. (These are all new.) What's half price? What prices have you seen?

Amazon UK lightning deal prices LS12 approx £75 / LS14 £99

These are prices for occasional time limited lightning deals over the last week or so.

Though today's fixed price for the LS12 is £79.

The recent fixed price for LS14 is usually approx £150


[original retail price 2014 - Olympus LS12 £150 & LS14 £230]

ok.. that's enough reasonably objective reviews....


I've convinced myself my impulse purchase wasn't so stupid after all...😜

It definitely looks more immediately practical than the zoom H2n,
which I haven't used much at all due to the tiny screen I can barely see,
and apparent lack of mono recording...
