I find it surprising that the DM520 is marketed as a dictation recorder when
it doesn't have most of the features of Olympus's other dictation recorders
such as dss files, encryption, and overwrite, insert, and append.

None of these are marketed as dictation recorders. The DM520 is, and the
LS7 sounds almost identical to it, thus I call it a glorified dictation
recorder. In effect, I am saying, ehre and now, that for professional
field recordings, especially with anything like higher output mics, the
LS7 is a failure.

Actually, none of these are dictation recorders. Dictation recorders
allow punching in etc. They also use small files for easy emailing. And
provide encryption for security. As to which one to buy, it depends on
what you need. If you don't require truly professional sound, the LS-7 is
inexpensive and sounds quite good. The LS-100 is better, but you'll pay
for it, and I don't know if the multitrack function is accessible.

How about neither?
The LS7 was nothing more than a glorified dictation recorder. I
should know, I've seen them, and they were not all that dissimilar to my
DM520, which was a dictation recorder.
the LS100 is good for musicians, and was a trendsetter for Olympus
recorders. It is very good...and expensive, of course. If we could all
afford them, we'd all own them, because they are very, very flexable.
How about the LS14? The LS14 is exactly what would happen if the
Olympus LS7 and LS100 had a kid. In general, it's the LS100 in
miniature, but it has the tresmic system from the LS7, but most
importantly, the LS100's microphone preamps, or very similar thereof. It
handles high output microphones very well, it's got smart mode which is
really awesome (check the website), and it does it at a $199 that won't
break the bank too hard.
Thanks,
