 Fantastic Camera |

| Wanted to buy a compact camera with a larger zoom and more mega pixels then my ancient 6mp Fuji. I was hesitant because this is a new model from Olympus and there were no reviews. This camera works fantastic, plenty of features and fantastic pictures. The panoramic is really nice and the 640 x 480 video option is excellent quality for a digital camera even though it disables the zoom function. With the zoom extended (7X) pictures are occasionally not as sharp. After owning the camera for a week I'm very pleased with it. The 8 gig micro sd card holds about 1000 pics at 12mp (fine) or 25 minutes of video. |

This is a really impressive camera, especially for the price, and I'm surprised it doesn't have more reviews. I was taking a trip and looking for the best combination of small size, maximum MP, long zoom, and picture quality - and this small guy has it all.
First off, it's small. Not the smallest or thinnest camera I looked at, but easily the smallest with a 7x zoom. And that zoom is wonderful. It's also much quicker than most of the other cameras I tested. The zoom is zippy and the camera itself only takes about one second to start up after you hit the button. The 12MP is fantastic for high-res images. Also, as advertised, this camera's image stabilization makes it very excellent at taking shots of moving objects. There isn't much shutter lag time. The camera has both macro and "super macro" modes which take incredible extreme close-ups. It has a very wide angle and can connect images to make a panorama.
Potential cons: There is no viewfinder. The LCD is crystal clear, though. The buttons on the back are a small inelegant; they seem clunky to me. But they light up, a huge plus at night!
This is the perfect camera for someone who wants premium features at a relatively low cost. I looked at 10MP, 3x zoom cameras that cost $100 more than this one, and I still can't figure out how that cost is justified. This is a super point-and-shoot for casual and intermediate photographers. |
Incredible value!!

I took my time before writing this review because I wanted to be sure I used the camera enough to form a solid opinion. My conclusion is that this camera is an incredible value. I shopped around both online and at various stores and I couldn't find any 12 megapixel camera with this much (7X) zoom for anywhere near the price I ultimately paid for this one.
I took it on a very vital vacation trip where we went to two concerts, took it to a gourmet luncheon place on by the Culinary Dept. of the local college, etc. etc. I also tested it against my ancient Sony 3X (which I still like). The Olympus produced brilliant photos and compared favorably up against the Sony Cybershot. It's amazingly compact for a 7X zoom and lighter and thinner than the Sony 3X.
Perhaps that reviewer who gave it 1 star didn't read the manual? I can't know how someone could take over a thousand photos and get 10 decent ones. I took about 100 and the few that got tossed were my fault, not the camera's. I'm very pleased with this camera!

Fantastic Camera for a Fantastic Price

| Bought this camera for our daughter for Christmas. Worked fine right out of the box but for some reason the camera locked up. The lense was extended but the camera part wouldn't work. All other functions were OK. Contacted Amazon who shipped a replacement straight away (Fantastic CUSTOMER SERVICE) The second one again worked right out of the box and continues to work flawlessly. Takes Fantastic pictures, long battery life and although AA batteries are convenient, the batteries don't last if you leave them in the camera, and it is a pain to take the batteries out every time you store the camera. This camera has the lithium ion battery that has a very long camera life and quick recharge time. Very satisfied with the camera and the pictures it produces. |

| I bought an Olympus digital camera 6 years ago which served me well so when I chose on purchasing a new camera, I knew I wanted another Olympus (the camera on my cell phone has more megapixels than that ancient small thing). I absolutely like the stylus! For less than $200, you get a really fantastic small camera. The screen is fantastic, there are so many features, and it's really simple to use. You can take some really incredible pictures (and movies too!) with it. If you want a excellent, reliable camera, certainly go for it. |
Fantastic camera for the price!

| This camera has many features for the price. The lack of a printed instruction book is a bit annoying, but the CD has all the information. So far, after using it for one week, I am quite impressed with the quality of the photos. |
