This is an awesome camera and it works just as advertised. I really love it as I can take pictures of birds and they don't fly away.

Where's the view finder?

 

Great camera! Does everything exceptionally well! Very pleased with the results! The only thing missing that I would like to have is a view finder, so that I don't have to rely on the display on those sunny days when everything is so bright outside!...

poorly made...

 

I already have 2 Fuji and 2 Kodak cameras both are very good cameras but i think its time to update, because cameras as everything else gets better every year. I Have never had an Olympus before and they made it look like it was a good sturdy camera....
