Summary: Beware of this camera: mine won't turn on anymore
Review: I received this camera last year for Christmas (12/2004) and it is almost unusable now because the sliding door in the front doesn't switch the camera on. The door is on a thin, plastic rail that has bent and now it isn't positioned properly to hit the on switch. If I push the door in while I slide it open, it will turn on; however, in the middle of taking pictures it will shut off again. I treated the camera like gold, too, always keeping it in a protective case and it was never dropped or banged up. I find it very frustrating that an expensive camera like this could be designed so poorly.

Summary: Great Camera - one annoying design flaw
Review: This camera has good picture quality. It has a good battery. It has a nice design. It hooks up to the computer well. It also has relatively good software packaged with it. In other words... it's a great camera. It has one annoying flaw - when you take a picture it shows that picture for about 8 seconds - but then if you want to view any photos you have to close the lens up and wait for it to go back in, turn on the viewing mode and then to take another picture you have to open it back up again - which is a time consuming process. I would recommend this product - if this problem doesn't bug you too much.

Summary: Novice to Digital
Review: This is really my first digital and I have only had it a couple of weeks. However I find the delay between when I press the button and when the picture is taken far too long. It averages 6 seconds on auto and 2 or more on the sports setting, which I am told is as fast as it gets. By this time my kids are halfway down the block. I have a lot of pictures of my yard, empty doorways, and blank walls. At least I know I have to take the picture again because I can view it immediately, but somethings can not be repeated. Is this delay normal for other cameras...?

Summary: Olympus Camedia C-50
Review: I have been a serious amateur for 30 years, starting with Nikons and moving through a number of other mechanical SLRs. I was impressed with this camera. To a few who critize battery life I offer the following advice: read the instructions when all else fails! The battery must be removed when not in use. An unfortunate need as it affects convenience, but documented in the instructions nevertheless. A small demand apparently will drain the battery over time even when turned off. Olympus should fix this with a switch or timer of some sort to break the connection...easy to do. The pictures I have taken so far are equal to my Nikon and pentax 35mm stuff. I took a test shot out of the box of a bouquet on our table before even charging the unit and my wife made it the wallpaper for our computer. Shots like that. The resolution was incredible too. Took a close shot of a friend and was able to zoom in on the computer until he and I discovered he had a rye seed stuck in between his teeth which was not otherwise noticable to either of us...amazing resolution IMO.
