Great Camera

 

All I got to say is this is a great camera. Takes great pictures and it turns on and off very fast. Had it for over a year now and I love it

Great Camera

 

This is a great grab and go camera - didn't like that you have to purchase the instruction booklet separately. I guess that is one way to keep the initial cost of the camera down! Anyway, it does way more than I need it to! Great value.

Goes downhill quickly

 

At first the pictures on this camera were really good, but I didn't use it much because of how slow it was. I started using it again on a regular basis and not only has the picture quality gone downhill, but now the lens won't even come out. It started...

UPDATE: From Dudeboy

 

Me lucks run out!

Took mostly nice pictures for me, while it worked. Stopped working after the 7th month of ownership. I was very careful with it, and only used it on maybe 10 or 12 occasions

It never got any rough handling, so there is no excuse for such early failure. I'm disgusted, and I'll not buy Olympus again

Consumer review by:

A great little camera for a good price!

 

I am rather pleased with this little camera! My favorite feature is how well it performs in low light. I will say though that the flash is VERY harsh and tends to wash people out. Otherwise though, it's a great size and was a great value. I'm very...
