Excellent camera. Enjoy using it.
I fell in love with my camera when I saw it at the store. I already knew the Olympus name from 2 small tape recorders I bought years ago. Excellent products back then and an excellent product now. My first digital camera. I had used digital cameras before with my family. I love the features, quality and ease of use with this one as opposed to the others I have used. Picture quality is great. I look forward to using it the next time. I love the size. A little guy with the heart of a higher priced camera.

Understanding manual
Although I have some difficulty understanding the manual mI have taken a few test shots that all turned out well.
But I feel, that I could do even better if I were to fully understand all the instructions.
My current experience with the new camera is too limited to commet fully on all features. -

Olympus is going to Shanghai
Love the size and the easiness that this camera offers. I am a novice picture taker and needed a camera that will capture what I am taking. Going to Shanghai, China this September and don't want to lug around a lot of equipment so this is the perfect camera for this trip!

focus and settings are terrible.
I can not get the settings and the lighting correct on this camera. I set the settings for the situation and it is still terrible. I think this is the worst camera I have ever had.

Overall good camera for someone on the go.
Camera performs well for what it is. Meaning price of the camera places it well ahead of the competition. My main issues with the camera are, you really have to hold it steady to get the clearest of picture and the clarity diminishes greatly the more zoom you use. But for an on the go everyday user, great camera!

east to use
Easy to use but in auto mode it is to dark in dim lighting. Shutter speed is to slow. I wish I had bought a faster one. Nice with still Fotos.
