Review: Once upon a time I owned a Nikon and assorted Nikor lenses all carefully stored in a sleek aluminum Zero case. I was a camera snob. Then had kids and couldn't be bothered to lug around an SLR plus attachments. With the excuse that I was buying it for my wife, I purchased one of the original Olympus clamshell designs in 1992. Secretly I loved this little camera. Not long after I sold the cherished Nikon. So it goes.But after 8 years, the trusty Olympus was showing it's age. And the kids responsible for my buying it in the first place had dropped it one too many times. So I was in search of its replacement. I'm comfortable with computers and digital technology and felt it was time to look at a digital camera. I was intrigued sufficiently to visit Wolf Camera and look at one. If a picture is worth a thousand words, experiencing something must be worth at least 10,000. Unlike its 35mm cousins (Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80 QD CG Camera comes to mind and is what I wound up buying) this camera seems to have been designed and built by a completely different company. It is large; won't fit comfortably in a shirt pocket. It is heavy. It is square and boxlike (none of the Stylus Epic's sensuous lines). If you are attracted to one-shot cameras and specifically to Olympus for their small size and ergonometric elegance be sure to actually hold one of these before ordering over the web.

Summary: Wonderful bargin, excellent camera!
Review: We bought this after reading all the great reviews about it. This camera is everything that it says it is and more. It is easy to use and the pictures come out beautiful. The software is easy to use, within a few moments of reciving the camera we had the software installed and were downloading pictures. It is battery hungry (like almost all digital cameras). We have found that by not using the LCD screen all the time they seem to last quite a whille longer. I have seen the same camera in several stores for 50 to 100 dollars more. We are very pleased with this camera and would recommend it to anyone who wants a quality digital camera at a reasonable price.

Summary: Super product at a super price!
Review: I have always been partial to 35mm pictures, but this digital camera has easily matched those in quality. Best part is - my husband is "electronically challenged" (can't use the VCR, computer, coffee maker, etc without help) and he is a pro with this camera. We love the fact that you can correct a bad picture immediately. The quality is OUTSTANDING! Highest recommendation!

Summary: TERRIFIC PRODUCT - NO regrets
Review: WONDERFUL product. Selection of this camera was not arbitrary - I spent a LOT of time researching and reading reviews of different cameras before deciding on this one. I think my satisfaction was GREATLY increased by purchase of 2 additional things: a card reader (I bought a Lexar USB ... USB is worth the extra cost) and a 16MB card). I've never used the cable to upload photos. The reader uploads to computer are a no-brainer snap, you can even move the photos via Windows Explorer if you don't want to use the software that comes with the camera. Battery time is very good based on recent experience. I was in Belgium for a week and never had to change batteries. Bear in mind that's by using the card reader for uploads and without using the AC adapter! Good manual comes with the camera. I'm still learning the icons on the readout, but that's a very minor thing for me. I use the camera for website photos and for insertion into PowerPoint presentations. It's superb for both. I have no regrets and am exceptionally pleased with the product. It's a wonderful product for the price. If you're on a tight budget, don't get the AC adapter until you see if you really need it, but the card reader is really worth the money (particularly after reading reviews by those who use the cable transfer).

Summary: Great Camera for a Great Price!
Review: I was very skeptical to buy this digital camera b/c of the manyreviews written here and the cheap price. I am not a professional but feel that I have good eye between good and bad pictures when I print them out or email them. What really sold me were the reviews [on another site]. This site currently ranks this digital camera 3rd overall for 1-2 MegaPixel Camera's... I actually found so much information on this site I got tired of reading them. This digital camera has been everything and more that I expected, the panoramic feature is awesome! I do use a mac and had no problem at all connecting it to my computer, I did cheat by using my windows 9 pin to mac serial adapter that I got for my PalmPilot. Definitely a must buy, the LCD screen makes it really easy to pick which pictures to keep or delete. I have owned it for almost a month and only have gone thru 1 set of batteries and have used the flash and LCD at will. Two thumbs up!

Summary: 100% satisfied
Review: I've had the camera for a few days now and so far I'm very satisfied. The pictures are clear and crisp and the LCD display (despite being really small) is bright and easy to see. The flash and focus adjust automatically so all you have to do is point and shoot. I don't know why everyone is complaining about it eating batteries.. I put a set in two days ago and I've shot about 100 pictures with no problems. I guess my only complaints would be that the LCD gets thumbprints all over it and that the little flap that covers the connecters is a little flimsy & fragile feeling.

Summary: Best Camera For The Price
Review: First, all digital cameras with an lcd eat batteries. that being said, this camera is without a doubt, the best bargain in its price range. having used the camera for the past two months heavily, it has performed better than i expected. the image quality is flawless, even in low light situations. the 8mb card that comes with the package is ample, giving 36 pictures at better than 35mm quality (in my opinion). ease of use? you bet, the camera, once the batteries are installed, is very simple to operate, just open the lens cover and snap away. things to consider when you buy this camera are a USB reader to greatly reduce your uploading time, and either rechargable batteries or an ac adapter. I also purchased another 8mb card to give me a total of 72 very high quality pictures, but being able to review and erase unwanted pictures with the lcd screen, one card might be enough for most people.

Summary: Excellent Camera
Review: This camera is an incredible value. Looking through the stores I was dismayed at how high prices for a decent digital camera were, but then I found this one online and WOW, was it worth the price. I was truly astounded by the quality of the pictures it took, and especially the compression - I had guess that the included 8 MB cartridge would hold about 20 pictures, but it actually holds 36 HiRes photos! If you buy a 32 MB cartridge to go along with it (as did I), then you can hold a whopping 180 pics total - plus the ability to delete the ones you don't want as you go means those 180 last even longer. The only qualm I had with this camera was the batteries. After one day of use, they were running low. If you plan to use the LCD screen a lot, I reccomend either the rechargeable batteries, an AC adapter or both.

Summary: short comment
Review: It seems that the biggest complaint with this camera is that it eats batteries. Maybe I mistakenly got "super" batteries or something. I bought this camera about 10 days ago, have taken around 100 pictures (maybe half with flash and LCD on)and the batteries are still going strong. Maybe it's the dryness in CO. Dunno.

Summary: Great entry-level digital camera, but room for improvement!
Review: I bought this camera as a gift for a friend, and it's great for taking casual, everyday pictures. It's versatile and easy to use, with fairly good picture quality. Initially I thought the 8MB SmartMedia card was a bit on the small side, but it's a fair amount of storage space. But since I'm used to 35mm, I think there are a few shortcomings: First, the CCD is weak in the blue channel. This means that reds and greens are accurately recorded but there's a lot of graininess/noise in the blues. This is a common problem in all CCD-based devices, including scanners, and when determining imaging quality, the blue channel is very revealing. Under most circumstances, though, you get an acceptable image. Second, the user interface is a little clumsy; you have to close the cover to review images. The buttons do different things in different modes, and sometimes it's hard to remember which is which. Finally, I think it should've come with a USB cable as well as a 9-pin serial. (The HP line of cameras include a USB cable for faster upload.) But for the price, this is an excellent camera, especially for people who don't require studio-quality images.
