Summary: Shutter Release problem
Review: When I got the unit, it immediately had a shutter release button problem. I had to press it severeal times before I could take a shot. Sometimes it works and most often than not it doesn't. I was hoping for a better quality from this camera based on its review but got the worst instead. I also noticed that the label says that it's made in Indonesia, I thought it was made from US.

Summary: EXCELENTE CAMARA A UN PRECIO BAJO
Review: Antes de comprarla estuve comprando por 1 mes diferentes modelos de camaras debajo de los US$ 300. Creo que no me equivoque!.Muy recomendable comprar un cargador de pilas y al menos 8 pilas de Niquel Metal. Ya no tendre que llevar rollos de peliculas pero si pilas extras a mis viajes. La resolucion es clarisima, inclusive en el modo bajo que te permite tomar 122 fotos aprox. adios a los centros de revelados para luego escanear las fotos y asi compartirlas con mi familia y amigos. Recomendable tambien creo (yo no lo hice) es comprar el adpatador PCMCIA o el de Diskette 3.5 asi como el adaptador de corriente.

Summary: Smart Media Card Capacity vs Battery Life
Review: Great camera - to prepare for an extended trip I wanted more capacity but did not want to haul around lots of extra batteries. Step one was to purchase 4 NiMH 1600mAh rechargeable batteries w/auto and home chargers. Be aware - many AA batteries have less than 1600 mAh capacity. Step 2 was to purchase a 32 MB San Disk card. The result was nearly 150 pix on the disk without a battery recharge. Amazing! With my San Disk ImageMate which downloads the card in seconds I am - good-to-go.

Summary: Fun Camera
Review: I like the camera alot, although I had to send it in for repair (CCD went bad - caused a thin blue line to appear in every photo - I noticed another reviewer had that same problem). Fortunately the warranty was still in effect (1 yr). Tech support guys were were courteous and helpful, but customer support was not - something Olympus needs to be aware of (customer service rep was rude, also emails never returned). Colors in photos are very bold and bright.

Summary: Amazing camera for "the price", but some probs for Mac users
Review: For image quality, I was quite amazed by the quality of the pictures produced by this camera. At high quality (JPEG) you can get 36 pictures on the 8MB card, and presumably, with the 64MB card ... ... that wouldbe 288 pictures! With the LCD off, the battery usage isn't too badeither. I also find that the closeup pictures (the macro mode) is also quite good, though the flash is overpowering in these situations. I'll probably experiment with a flash diffuser, possibly something as simple as a piece of white paper over the flash in these cases. For Macs though, be prepared to work through a few problems. First of all, the cable that converts the PC serial connector to the Macintosh serial connector (for older macs like mine) isn't in the box, despite the label on the box which indicates that it's mac compatible. There's a coupon you can mail to get this connector free, but it should be in the box in my opinion. For modern macs, one would probably have to buy a USB smartmedia card reader. Knowing this however, I also bought the SanDisk FlashDisk adapter that allows you to read smartmedia cards from your floppy disk drive (also gone in modern Macintosh computers). It too claimed to be mac compatible but it too lacked any actual support in the box. There was NO software for the mac. I had to download the drivers from the internet. Then I found the drivers claimed that OS8.6 was necessary (I was running OS 8.5.1). I was able to read single image files off the flashdisk, but not two or more. I installed 8.6 but found I had the same problem. I was subsequently able to download multiple files when I directed them to a subdirectory instead of the desktop. I can't say for sure that this alone was the cause of the problem, but at least the whole combination worked. 8x10's are somewhat unsatisfying (of course) but 4x5's made with the camera are really good. It would probably make passable 5x7's. Overall, I'm quite pleased. Olympus lost a star for a somewhat complex user interface and no mac cable in the box.

Summary: This is the best thing since sliced bread...
Review: Since purchasing this camera, it has hardly been out of use. From taking pictures at soccer games for uploads to the web, to producing great school projects at the click of a shutter button and download to the hard drive, it is great product, and holds up to careless abuse. To my horror, my camera got run over in a parking lot and after I got the sliding door back on, it still takes great pictures. More expensive models have the USB port, which is prefered, but with the money saved, you can purchase a sandisk adapter and still have change. Best purchase I've made in a long time.

Summary: halfway to 5 stars because it halfway works
Review: I bought this for a friend, and so far it's had to go back twice, both for recurring problems (the rear display screen goes dead) and new problems (blue line that appears embedded in photos). It's a great little camera when it's working. the shots are good and clear, it's easy to use, and the price is right. But I'm shopping for myself now and wouldn't buy this camera again.

Summary: extremely pleased
Review: We purchased our camera for the holiday season and have not been disappointed. Colors and resolution are good. The camera is easy to use and most importantly easy to take along. I've found battery life to be almost a non-issue. The first set of batteries lasted from mid-November until after Christmas nearly 100 pictures later with conservative use of the LCD screen. The video output feature is nice for showing "slide shows" away from home on a plain tv screen. Definitely consider purchasing a larger memory card and some sort of USB reader.

Summary: It's a Great Camera
Review: I just received this camera as a Christmas present and I love it. I have been into photography for about 15 years now and have has a hard time finding a compact camera to use for birthday parties, school plays, sporting events, etc. I am used to lugging around a full size SLR (Canon AE-1) which I refuse to give up.This camera is a great companion for someone who is not quite ready to give up 35mm. I have had no problems downloading the pictures to my computer and so far the batteries are doing OK. Mine came with a set of the rechargable batteries. I found the best way to use it is to use the view finder instead of the LCD monitor to take pictures and then edit on the camera after a few shots in order to conserve memory. The instruction manual was clear and concise and answered most of my questions.I would recommend it 100%

Summary: Great Purchase
Review: I've had this camera for a number of months now and am totally happy with it. I am a real estate broker and use it constantly to upload photos to the web as well as for fun with family and friends and whatnot. It's been very easy to use, takes excellent quality photos, and seems like a bargain for the price. I would really suggest getting the flashpath floppydisk adapter which is how I deal with the images. It's a floppy disk that you insert the smartmedia card from the camera into.
