Summary: great deal
Review: An excellent value, highly recommended. The quality is much better than we expected for the low price. We just point and shoot and get great pictures. We have had ours for 2 months, have taken hundreds of pictures - many with the flash - and we're still on our first Olympus LB-01 CR-V3 Lithium Battery. (Dunce cap to the AA whiners.) When you get your camera, just spend 30 minutes with the manual and it's a breeze. No problems at all downloading pictures with Windows 98 SE. Only one gripe - the Camedia software on the PC tries to make it seem hard to e-mail pictures. Tip: go to the editor in Camedia, and from there, save it to a file. Then you can e-mail the picture as an attachment (never mind Camedia's awkward system for e-mailing).

Summary: Great Photos
Review: Bought this camera for the family last summer, it is a breeze to use. My technology averse wife has really taken to it. There is a mode where it remembers your last settings and always starts up as you left it. Just read the instruction manual, page 84 tells you how to do this. (The manual is posted on the Amazon page for this camera.) The picture quality is very good. I actually like the fact that it no zoom lens, only digital zoom, it is a very sturdy design.

Summary: What a waste of money
Review: Bought this camera two weeks later the flash wasn't working. Office max was nice enough to replace it, but now three months later and this one is not turning on. So I call costumer service and find out there is no place to bring it in, I have to pay to ship it out to be fixed. This means waiting an extended period. Do not recommend at all.

Summary: Mostly a very good camera except for minor glitches...
Review: Bought this to take photos for my business. Since I don't need anything but small photos and web photos, this seemed like the right price with right amount of functionality. Only things I don't like are: a) setting the resolution to anything besides the default (which is HQ), is reset back to the default after turning the camera off and back on. The manual and menus on the camera do not mention how to make the setting stay after turning off the camera. Noticed another reviewer found an "obscure" method of making it stick, but I haven't found it. b) the zoom is virtually unusable because the resulting image is significantly degraded from the non-zoomed image. I bought an upgrade memory card (64MB) and got four NIMH rechargable batteries and I'm happy. If you really need a zoom, buy another camera.

Summary: Read the instruction booklet
Review: Good camera. Definitely worth the money for your first digital camera or if you don't need an optical zoom. Disregard all the reviews stating the you can not save your own personal settings. They are wrong. You can save your setting if you simply read the manual. It's easy to do and all you have to do is read the instructions.

Summary: disappointed
Review: I am somewhat of a photography buff, and really wanted a digital camera, so my husband bought this camera for me for my birthday. At first, I was thrilled-a digital camera, emailing pictures, yay. And it took some pretty good pictures. But, the zoom is pointless. Skip that option-it created very grainy pictures. The batteries, as other reviewers have pointed out, do not last. I live in a very picturesque area, and took a number or scenery shots--if you are too far away, like, from a mountain in the distance, the focus is miserable. The focus is also unreliable-it doesn't always focus on what is centered or forefront in the viewfinder. The pictures look great when you first download them, but then enlarge them--major disappointment-totally grainy and unfocused. The red-eye reduction doesn't work-90% of my people shots have red eyes. It is too slow-like others have said-AT LEAST 10 seconds between shot and next shot, and NO ACTION photos-if I take a picture of my dog, by the time the shutter snaps, the dog is out of the frame. And then every once in a while it surprises me and I get a really great picture, where everything works out. It is pretty user friendly, and is kind of fun-at first.After a while, it just gets frustrating. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun camera just to play around with, maybe to email photos with. Beyond that, look for something a little more sophisticated.

Summary: Olympus won't let you down- BEST bang for the buck!
Review: I bought a Stylus Zoom regular 35mm several years back and was really impressed. That purchase was the result of a lot of research about the quality of various cameras in that price range (low range of quality merchandise). After reading some great comments about this camera, my wife and I decided to upgrade our camera from a cheapy to something nice. WOW, we were not dissapointed. It's a fabulous picture for the money. The flash uses a lot of battery power so as many people comment, we simply bought an ac adapter (which has a very long cord). We love it.

Summary: life expectancy = ~ a year
Review: I bought this camera about a year and a half ago. For the first few months it was great, some pictures had some color/grainy issues, but the camera did it's job. After it hit the one year mark, i noticed a decrease in the quality of the photos it was taking. more and more were coming out looking overexposed or 'whited-out'. I just took a trip, and 5 out of 18 pictures came out viewable. Not sure how log these are supposed to last for, but this one is heading for the scrap heap.
