from Office Max Summary: This camera is awesome! Probably best bang for your buck out right now (new). If you're looking for a digital camera right now, this is it.
It has most of the fuctions you only see on professional SLRs, with automatic simplicity if you wish. The optics are great. The zoom lens has a great range allowing for wide-angle to 96mm for very decent portraits, with a very nice macro function.
Picture quality, superb. It's a real 3.2 mega-pixel camera that blew me away. 8 x 10s printed on a photo printer look awesome! I honestly can't tell the difference between that a film print. You also have a wide selection as far as quality goes. You can take 640x480s for on-screen veiwing, or SHQ-TIFF for film rivaling prints.
I've finally bid a fare-well to film with this camera! I can't wait to get a digital SLR, which will again be from Olympus. This is a serious camera, with a price that doesn't call for a second morgage! I even use it for some of my professional work. Strengths: Settings you only see in "pro" cameras, 3x zoom, Scene modes, Easy USB connectivity, Just as good as film! Weaknesses: The only weakness is that it doesn't come with rechargalbes or a larger SM card. Similar Products Used: Canon powershot a40, other sub 3mp cameras, and 35mm. Customer Service: Haven't had to use it yet. (KNOCK ON WOOD)
