Summary: STILL WORKS LIKE A CHARM
Review: This will be my fourth review of the camera which I bought over two years ago.
I'm up to about 150 rolls with no problems and just returned from Las Vegas where it served as my "carry around" camera when I didn't feel like lugging a Nikon SLR. All I ever do is change the battery when it dies.
Looks to me like nothing's changed...some of us love this camera and some of us think it's made of garbage.
All I can say is that I'm more than satisfied with mine and if it fell apart today I'd still would feel that I gotten my money's worth.

Summary: Nice and compact, but lacks reliability
Review: We have had two of these cameras now, and they both failed in the same area. They both worked for about a year, then they would not load the film any longer. When you close the film door, the motor will spin, but the drum that is supposed to advance the film does not turn. We liked the size and style of the camera so much that when the first one failed, we bought another one thinking it was just bad luck. We will be replacing it with a different brand.

Summary: Super Camera
Review: A few weeks before my wife and I were to leave for the United Kingdom, my camera gave up the ghost. It had been a super camera for someone like myself who is not very much of a photographer. Easy to use with very clear and bright pictures. What was I to do? I had to find another good camera in a hurry.

I saw this camera on Amazon and decided to give it a try and I was glad I did. This Olympus camera performed just as well as my old camera and cost several hundred dollars less. The pictures are as sharp and clear as one can possibly get from a point and shoot camera and for most of us, point and shoot is the only real option. The pictures I took of the Scottish highlands and the rest of Scotland and London are great. On top of that, this camera is easy to use, easy to carry, and never seems to let the user down. Quite frankly, I couldn't be happier.

Summary: good pictures yet not very durable
Review: This camera does take good pictures and I have bought this camera
twice within 2 years. The first camera broke in Cancun after 8 pictures the zoom would not go back in the camera. I pushed the lens back in the camera to send it back to the company and they said I had dammaged it and they would not replace it. Since I liked the pictures(compare to expensive cameras) I bought another one--Jan of this year. This time while in Vegas the whole cover came off the front and again the plastic around the zoom lens is falling off. I go on many trips and travel next month.Although I really like the pictures this camera does not hold up to my travels and I,m ordering a Pentax next.

Summary: Great, inexpensive camera - beautiful pics!
Review: I've had this camera for a couple of years and i've never had any trouble with it. I get consistantly great pictures. This past spring I took it to Europe. The pictures turned out beautiful and many look like postcards. This is a great point & shoot camera and nice compact size. I don't have the patience or desire to lug around a professional camera and all the lenses and spend time adjusting each shot. I highly recommend this camera!

Summary: Have not received product!
Review: It has been 11 days since I ordered the camera. I have not seen it yet. I cannot find a phone number to contact the store or obtain any customer service. It is not a good deal or a good product when you do not receive any service or the product.

Summary: Broke after 2 years
Review: At first I really loved this camera; it took great quality photos and the best part was that it was cute and compact...I really loved the design. But after 2 years of use, it's rewind mechanism suddenly stopped working, and I don't think it was dropped or mishandled in any way. It usually has automatic rewind feature, but one day, it made a funny whirring noise as it "rewinded" when in actuality it didn't rewind at all.

Needless to say, I opened the cover to take out the film and the roll was ruined from the light exposure. I was very disappointed not only because the camera broke, but because I lost some great photos. The repair shop told me it would cost [$$$] to repair, I didn't think it was worth it so I'm now searching for a more reliable camera. I don't think I will buy another Olympus camera for a long time to come.

Summary: Great pictures, if you can get it to work
Review: I have had problems w/ this camera since the day it was purchased. For some reason when you press down the button to take a picture, nothing happens. I've had about a 50/50 chance of ever getting it to snap a picture. I always keep a spare camera on hand, because you cannot rely on this camera to take a picture. Do not use this camera if you want to take pics of anything important, because you may not get any!

Summary: Great little camera
Review: Very happy with this camera. We bought it 4 years ago when it first came out, and the fact that it's still here says a lot... My wife loves it, and the picture quality is superb. Olympus makes a great camera. We also have a Minolta 35mm SLR, and the pictures from this camera are nearly as good as our big Minolta Maxxum. The best part is the SIZE...so small we toss it into our baby's travel bag, and snap pictures everywhere we go. Great battery life too!
