NOT GOOD!

I received this product as a gift because my other camera broke. Well this camera totally sucks! It takes horrible pictures under any circumstances. The videos it takes is good but not the best quality. This camera cannot take any precious moments!...

Marvelous

The camera itself is marvelous. I think this camera competes very well with the big two. The only downside to it is the cost of the micro four third lenses. Fortunately, you can, with the use of an adapter, use the four thirds lenses from Olympus.This...

NOT FOR ME DUE TO TECHNOLOGY

I have wanted to get another Olypmus Camera, and when this one came along I thought I would give it a try. Years ago I had an Olympus film camera with the extra lens and I loved that camera. I am kindergarten level at technology. So this has not worked...

Great Camera

I've had this camera now for a couple of months and it is GREAT! The larger sensor makes all the difference compared to my point-and-shoot cameras. Very happy with it.

And all in a sleek, easy-to-use camera.Intelligent Auto + Shadow Adjustment combine to get the job done, which is to identify an intended scene (Portrait, Landscape, Night + Portrait, Macro, Sport) and automatically adjusts the camera's settings to achieve the best results.Add a little extra dimension of drama or enchantment by applying a filter effect, such as Pop Art, Pinhole or Wedding.The camera automatically adjusts focus and exposure for those fun family and friend portraits.
