Review: This camera worked great for the first year I had it -- then it was all downhill. First the card became corrupt so I thought it was just the card and bought a new one-- and the same thing is happening. I lost some pretty special pictures because of this. Now the display screen does not automatically come on when I turn on the camera -- I have to press the button several times when I want to take a picture.
The flash is also goes off like 5 times rapidly *before* the camera actually takes the pictures. So this problem (1) blinds the person before the picture is actually taken (this is really not a good thing for babies) and also (2) deceives the person into thinking the picture has already been taken when in fact, it has not.I'm thinking about writing Olympus and telling them what a crappy camera this turned out to be. It was great for the first year - but now - it's just a pain in the ass. Spend the extra [money] and get something else with a 3MP.

Summary: Best bang for the buck
Review: I rate this camera 5 stars, not because it's the best camera but it's the best you can get for the money. this is our third digital camera . The first was a cheapo the second was not
but it was not extremely expensive but was high quality with a lot of features.But my wife who takes the pics hated it. She's the point and shoot type. Camera 2 is heavy, has complex controls and eats batteries like mad. I made it worse by buying a power pack that made it heavier and even more inconvenient. Camera 3 is the Olympus D370 and it's a gem. It was inexpensive
even with a 32MB memory card. It's simple to use and takes great pictures. It's only 1.3 MP, but I can print great 8X10s which it isn't supposed to do,and this is done on a BJC-2100 Canon printer, although I have a good Photo printer. We use rechargeable batteries and they last a long time. we are not sophistcated photo people.In fact we're just average senior citzens and it works great for us. On the third try we Highly recomend it for the low budget ,point and shoot crowd.
