Summary: THIS CAMERA IS DEFECTIVE
Review: DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA. It is defective. I bought 3 of these cameras Dec 2001. Within a year they broke. The lens jams and will not extend on the camera...it happened to all 3 of my Olympus 80 cameras. This is a design flaw common to this series of Olympus cameras. If you buy this camera you will be sorry...if you already bought this camera...you are sorry now.

Summary: Love this camera! Easy for amatuers to use
Review: I received this camera as a Christmas gift and I have been absolutely thrilled with it. Take the time to READ THE MANUAL and learn about the 6 different flash modes, and you will get great results in any situation. Takes beautiful pictures, is compact and easy for a novice photographer to use. I have always had cheap little point and shoot cameras in the past, so this was the first camera I have owned with zoom and other special features. I feel like a real pro with this camera!

Summary: Great camera!
Review: This is a great little camera. It's simple and keeps working!! I gave the camera fair amount of torture (including keeping it in my glove compartment permanently) and it still works great.If you want a simple camera but want something better than those fixed-focus things, this is the camera for you. Buy the accessory kit (one with mini tripod, soft case, remote), it's worth the money.

Summary: Terrific pictures, very sharp and colorful.
Review: Even with 200 ISO film (the manual recommends ISO 400), this camera takes very sharp indoor/outdoor pictures with brilliant colors. Haven't tried the 400 film yet, so I'm eager to try some outdoor evening pictures. However, with the 200 film, this camera still took some excellent night pictures (using a tripod) of downtown during Christmas season. Don't regret buying it one bit, best investment in a long time.

Summary: Great Value, Excellent Quality Images
Review: After seeing some of the negative reviews for this camera, I felt obligated to defend the product based on my personal experience with it. I've had my camera for over three years (since summer 1999) and have never had a serious complaint about it. In fact, it was given to me as a last-minute gift before my departure for a six month trip to China. I took people shots, landscapes, snapshots of architectural details... even took photos in the rain a few times and most of them turned out wonderfully. In 2001, I took this same camera to Italy with even better results. This camera takes very high quality pictures if you pay attention to how the auto-focus and flash function. Those reviewers who couldn't get the camera to take pictures were probably attempting to taking photos closer than the minimum focus distance stated in the manual. Nearly early time I have a roll of film developed, friends, family and strangers alike ask me what type of camera I use. I recommend this camera wholeheartedly to those looking for a convenient, lightweight model that takes excellent photos when you don't have time to fiddle with manual settings. Note: I rated four stars because it would be wonderful if the camera allowed for closer macros (flower and plant shots). Also, be careful not to allow sand or any particulate matter to get near the camera. If it gets inside, that may explain problems one reviewer had in getting the zoom to retract.

Summary: broken slide cover
Review: I enjoyed using this camera for almost three years, but the slide cover broke recently -- I guess it just wore out.

Summary: curious
Review: i really wanted to buy this one but the problem is i am curious on where this camera is made. it is not written in the product specs & in the 'see it in action' part, it cannot be tilted downward so that i can see whether its made in u.s. or japan etc. i dont want to end up buying something that is made in china.
