Buy a Coolpix

 

I am not a photographer. My main criteria for a camera is that it is small enough to fit in my pocket.The Stylus met that requirement. I had a Nikon Coolpix but dropped it on a tile floor and broke the lens. The Coolpix worked well and took good...

Awesome Camera

 

I love this camera! I got it once my old camera just broke. I bought this one on a whim after quickly reading the reviews and I can tell you I have NOT been disappointed at all. I'm just a point-and-shoot photo taker so if you are looking for a million...

Very short battery life and depresingly low memory

One drop and done

 

Picked this up for my wife for Christmas. Worked OK for a few months - nothing notable. Dropped it once from about 2 feet up, and now the lens doesn't open. Time to move to something that's built a bit better.

NEVER BUY OLYMPUS

 

Totally Died, after 6 months. Nothing but a black screen. I can turn it on, and the lens opens, but then noting. I sent it to the company, but so far, I have not heard anything, and I had to pay to ship it! UPDATE 5/25: I sent it to the company, and...

Half of the picture out of focus

 

I took this camera to Luang Prebang, Laos and was very disappointed by it performance. My wife used it for snapshots and the left hand side of the pictures were blurry. I brought my DSLR so all was not lost. I am going to have the satisfaction of...

Product Specifications

This tiny camera will blow you away. It packs the world's smallest 5x zoom into a super-slim, super-sleek body. But that's just the beginning. Advanced technology features, like one-touch HD movie recording, let you store, upload and share your favorite video moments. The 5x optical zoom gets you close to the action while the 26mm wide-angle lens lets you capture everything and everyone in your shot.
