Great Camera!,
I just got this camera this week and I love it.
Pros: The screen is quite viewable in bright sunlight. Dual memory support gives you a choice on which media to buy. (I’m using a Class 6 4GB micro SDHC card). 5x optical zoom (the largest I’ve seen in this size and price range.) The iAuto is pretty smart. The camera is easy to figure out and use.
Cons: I’d like to turn off the image preview that comes up right after you take a picture. The “Smile shot” is cool, but I haven’t been able to figure it out completely (I’m going to keep trying)
Conclusion: I don’t regret getting this camera. We’re going camping in a couple of weeks and we’ll see then how well this camera will work. For the most part, I’m very satisfied with this camera.
10/13/08 Took the camera camping this last week and it performed wonderfully! I was able to take pictures of whatever I wanted. I was able to get the pictures I wanted without any trouble. I played more with the smile shot and I’m getting better with it. I think it’s a worthwhile feature.

|Beware of Olympus,
My problem was not so much the product although it failed in only a few months of light use, it’s what happened when I contacted Olympus to get the unit fixed. They sent me an email with return instructions saying to send it to Olympus America for repair. There were no cosmetic damage, not even a scratch yet Olympus refused to honor their warranty. Their reason for refusal was the very reason it was sent in for repair. They informed me by mail of the refusal and sent a bill. I contacted the 800 number on the letter only to have to leave a message. After my call was not returned I tried email. The email explained the problem, provided my contact info and requested the issue be elevated to a manager. My email response was to call the 800 number, the one where you leave a message that don’t get returned. So they don’t honor the warranty, sent a bill, and do not intend to discuss their decision. I will not pay for the repair when I am not at fault and the product is under warranty. I’ll never buy another Olympus product and hope you heed this warning and don’t either. That’s right, now I am out the money for the unit, shipping to me and shipping to be repaired and no camera.

|user friendly compact point and shoot,
I purchased this camera as a gift and tested it beforehand to see if it was friendly enough for a novice digital camera user. I’ve been using a DSLR for a while, so I’ve adjusted my frame of reference for this review.
The camera has a good solid feel in the hand, and the view screen has good resolution and shows the image smoothly. I compared this camera to several other similar cameras in an electronics store before I bought it at amazon. The reason this one appealed the most was that the buttons don’t get in the way when you’re trying to take a picture. Some other cameras have wheels that stick out from the side of the camera, so it’s very easy to accidentally change settings. This has well placed and simple buttons that are easy to use. They are small, but that was the case on all the other cameras of this size.
The camera takes a second or two to focus, but seems to find focus consistently. The face detect doesn’t work that great for moving targets (toddlers) but seemed to work okay for posing adults. Once the focus is found, fully pressing the shutter release took the picture instantly. The camera feels very responsive, but only if you focus first. The few times I pushed the shutter without focusing first, I missed the shot because it took so long to focus and take the picture.
The image stabilization seems to work okay, I didn’t notice a huge improvement. The digital stabilization resulted in very poor image quality, so I turned that off. I found that the pictures turned out much better with flash instead.
The picture quality is very good in broad daylight, but the pictures start getting fuzzy when the lighting is not so good. It seemed the picture quality is about average. The pictures are a bit distorted at wide angles, but I think that is expected at this level of camera.
Overall, I would recommend this camera as a fun point and shoot camera that is easy to use and looks and feels nice.
