Great Camera

Review Date: August 29, 2009

Reviewer: Matthew D. White, NJ, Indiana

Wanted to purchase a compact camera with a larger zoom and more mega pixels then my old 6mp Fuji. I was hesitant because this is a new model from Olympus and there were no reviews. This camera works great, plenty of features and great pictures. The panoramic is really nice and the 640 x 480 video option is good 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.

Fantastic

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 little guy has it all.

First off, it's little. 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 faster 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 great for high-res images. Also, as advertised, this camera's image stabilization makes it very good at taking shots of moving objects. There isn't much shutter lag time. The camera has both macro and "super macro" modes which take amazing 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 little inelegant; they seem clunky to me. But they light up, a big 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.

Amazing 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 amazing 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 important vacation trip where we went to two concerts, took it to a gourmet luncheon put on by the Culinary Dept. of the local college, etc. etc. I also tested it against my old Sony 3X (which I still love). The Olympus produced excellent 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 understand 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 happy with this camera!

Great 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.

A New Love Affair

Reviewer: EPitt,

I bought an Olympus digital camera 6 years ago which served me well so when I decided on purchasing a new camera, I knew I wanted another Olympus (the camera on my cell phone has more megapixels than that old little thing). I absolutely love the stylus! For less than $200, you get a really great little camera. The screen is great, there are so many features, and it's really easy to use. You can take some really amazing pictures (and movies too!) with it. If you want a good, reliable camera, definitely go for it.
