Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $139.00 from B&H

Summary:

For candid snapshots and group pics you cannot top this camera. Great close ups too. It packs a lot of camera into an extremely small package. Breathtaking panoramic mode.

Strengths:

Size, lens quality.

Weaknesses:

Noisy, like most APS cameras. Cost of APS film development is higher than 35mm--but quality is more consistent.

Similar Products Used:

APS: Olympus M10 Macro Point and Shot and compact: Minox 35 MB, Ricoh ff-1, Lomo, Leica Z2X, several Minolta Freedom P&S, Olympus Trip 35

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $90.00 from Best Buy

Summary:

Purchased a returned/out of package camera at Best Buy for less than $90 when a new one was running about $150. Didn't come with a owners manual but very easy to figure out most of the operations without it (this from a true novice with cameras). Liked the camera so much that I bought my son another one for a graduation gift. (Finally got a look at a manual!). For the size, price and results I don't think this camera can be beat!

Strengths:

Perfect size to fit into your pocket. Handy to have around when you don't want to lug a larger camera around. Great results with the APS format. Easy to learn and use. The 2x zoom lens is great.

Weaknesses:

Haven't found any yet...

Similar Products Used:

First APS camera I have tried. Considered a Canon Elf but like the looks and feel of the Olympus better.

Customer Service:

Was missing owners manual (see below) and called Olympus. Their phone system was difficult to navigate but finally reached a live person to talk to. They offered to send a manual to me (no charge). Unfortunately they sent the wrong manual for another of their camera models.

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid:  $149.00

Summary:

I have been happy with this camera because it is easy to pack and even stick in your coat pocket.This camera has been designed for the novice. I must be honest and have to take time to sit down with instructions and learn which type of flash to se and when because when the pictures come back it seems it could make a difference. I am not a fan of the 4 X 6" shot so have learned that in order to move in on subject you need to get closer than what falls inside the viewfinder.

Strengths:

Compact, lenscover closes over lens when turned off;red eye reduction

Weaknesses:

sometimes for an unexplainable reason some pictures taken with flash have a "halo" around shot

Customer Service:

haven't had to use
