I'm 20 years old and love photograhy in general. This camera was my first ever digicam and was received about 2 years ago.

I've been using it for so long and still discover new things I can do with it, and new features. I can't say one negative thing about this camera, even if I wanted to. It's been reliable, easy to use, and takes absolutely lovely pictures! I have heard negative things about Olympus in the past but chose this camera anyway, and am very glad I did. It hooks up effortlessly to my new laptop, and transfering digital images to your computer is so simple and easy to do. I have a 256 card in it so that it holds tons of pictures.

Back when this camera was first introduced, it's larger screen was far more rare among other cameras. The screen is very nice and clear. The shooting modes offer a wide range of choices for any shot you could want to take, I especially like the landscape and movie modes. I can take over 5 minutes of video (without sound, the movies on this camera do not have sound).

The zoom is easy to operate and the lense has a cover that wraps over it when closed for protection. 3.2 MP is PLENTY for almost any shot you could need, and some of my pictures have come out so beautifully, you would've thought that they were professionally done. I will post a few photos I have taken with it in the "customer images" section.

One thing I adore about my camera is the total and complete EASE of operation. Anyone could use this, whether novice or professional. My grandfather has loved photography and been a photographer for many years, and he also agrees that this is a great camera with great features.

When I decide it is time for an upgrade, you can bet I will look at Olympus cameras again, the only other I would buy is a Canon, which are also fantastic. For the price however(I'm a college student with a double major and work only part-time, so money is tight), Olympus is the way to go. The ratio of quality to price is untouchable.

I've taken this camera to college, on vacation, out for nights with my friends, and just used it around the house... and it's performed beautifully each way. The fact that it is compact and light enough to not be cumbersome, yet still feels sturdy, makes it easy and un-obtrusive to bring anyplace you go.

If this camera will be as good to you as it has to me, don't have any worries. It will last a while if you take good care of it. It's been a joy to use. Just make sure you buy lithium batteries (AA's simply DON'T cut it), and you're good to go.

Customer Reviews

Reasonable Low Cost Second Hand Purchase - Richard Hayward - KENSINGTON, Victoria, Australia
This camera is a reasonable second hand purchase with good availability on eBay. US including postage with a 128 MB xD memory card in Australia.

The camera is small, yet solid. The functions are easy to use for basic requirements. The more advanced requirements take a little while to get used to. The flash and the zoom work well.

When purchasing second hand cameras look for one that comes with a bag, if not, the camera is likely to have been exposed to some rough treatment.
