I like this camera ! It takes great pictures !

 

This camera does an excellent job , especially for the $ ( I looked around and found mine for $ 75.00!) For the most part you can use it on full auto ( and let the camera set all the different settings ) but if you really want to get a good shot , set...

It takes good pictures & is easy to operate ( read the manual !!!!)

If there's any criticism at all , it's that this camera ( like any other electronic device ) it isn't a point & shoot ( yes you can , but sometimes when you do it doesn't work the best ), you have to set it up for the type of picture you want ( lan

Issues from the start

 

This camera was suppose to be a really good camera. It has pixels missing from the LED Screen and the flash doesn't work properly. I am very disappointed with this product. MY phone takes better pictures than this!!!!

Great Results, Poor Design

 

I used this camera extensively for a total of two weeks on vacation in Canada for a fishing trip. It took excellent pictures day, night, evening, in any imaginable lighting, and I was also very impressed with the picture quality it produced. However,...

Pictures are great - videos okay

 

I purchased this camera to replace a 5-year-old Olympus digital and was thrilled at both how much the cost had gone down on digital cameras and at the decrease in size.

Would Buy This Camera Again

 

I got this camera for Christmas last year. I've taken a year's worth of great pictures with it. If I took the time to read the manual, they'd be even better. It's a little too complex (for me) to understand all of its features without reading to...

2 Year Review

 

This has been my daily carry camera for 2 years. I've run probably 250 shots through it. For some people, that's not much in 2 years, and that's why I chose this camera over a more expensive one. It's still doing great, wide angle or macro, it's...

useless waste of money

 

Worst camera I have ever owned. Quality of pictures is a joke. My parents have a 5MP that takes better. I'm going to buy a new one of my old 10mp fuji j27 instead. I bought this because I have an old Olympus OM10 and had good reviews of the brand but...

Olympus X-43 review

 

I recently purchased 2 of these Olympus X-43 compact digital cameras on sale, one of which I was attending to take on vacation to replace an older Fuji compact digital camera had been acting up recently. It has a decent 5X optical zoom on it, a good...
