This is the 6th Olympus Camera I have purchased.
C-4040, Stylus 770SW, (2) PEN E-PL1's, SZ-16 iHS and this SZ-31MR. It has been, like all of my previous Olympus Camera's, easy to operate, takes excellent photo's, and was affordable.
I am looking forward to more exciting things to come from Olympus.

Love this camera for its optical zoom power! Camera is compact and can fit into my pocket to go anywhere. Options are great on the camera, but I just wish the on/off button where easier to push. Too small a button and too recessed to use easily.

Hi, I have been using Olympus equipment since studying at the Art Institute of Pittsbugh with the OM-1 and 4 Zuiko Prime lens, which I still use today. Bought this camera because of the quality of the lens and the ability for it to be used as an all around camera. Camera is very easy to use out of the box and will provide excellent results from the start. Have used this camera in both in personal and professional Fine Arts use. It is extremely portable and easy to carry every day. AF is spot on and very fast. Do yourself a favor, pick one up and don't put it down. You won't be disappointed.

I had a SZ-14 for 4 months. I was happy and I thought it was a very fine camera. But after I'd read reviews about SZ-31MR iHS, I could not stand still. On January 15th, I got my second baby, and I could not believe it. Boy, I am completely in a different world now!!

More than 200 pictures I have taken so far tell me this is probably the very best camera I could wish for. I'm in the heaven, and I'd like to wake the town and tell the people this is the camera!!!

I film and photograph nature and archaeological related events.

I have owned Olypus digital super zoom cameras since the Camedia C-740UZ, excellent for its day.

I am still using my SP-590UZ and will continue to use it as a backup.

I am Very pleased with the SZ-31MR iHS. I have cut my camera size by 1/3rd while increasing from 12 to 16 megapixels and adding full HD movies and Mutirecording functions.

I am still exploring all the features of the SZ-31MR but fully appreciate this All-In-One wonder ... especially when thinking back to my 35mm w/additional lenses days.

Thank you Olympus for an excellent product, as usual.

Good camera for point and shot but I would like few features missing such as control over aperture and shutter speed, and being able to shot in raw.

Recently upgraded from the Olympus 1020. This is the fourth Olympus point-and-shoot I have owned. I am amazed at how much the technology has improved at each level. I can't imagine how the next generation will look.

The image quality, lens speed, zoom ratio and intuitive menus make this camera a nice catch for amateur and professional photographers.

My DSLR didn't work and I needed a camera to shoot a wedding that I was getting paid to do. I didn't have enough funding to buy another DSLR, so I started looking for a camera that might be as good. I was pleased to find the SZ-31MR iHS. First it shipped fast from Olympus. I had no trouble learning the camera 2 days before the wedding. The day of the wedding I took over 500 photos. The portraits were amazing. Couldn't use a flash in the church, but camera did alright. Realized at the reception the sports mode which made a huge difference in pictures in motion. I wasn't sure the pictures were ok, till I uploaded them to my laptop. It was really amazing how well the camera preformed. I would definitely recommend this camera. I was impressed.

As a novice in photography, I can not say enough about the new Olympus SZ-31MR iHS. The size and molded hand grip make the camera easy to hold on to. The SZ-31 controls and menus makes the camera very easy to learn and operate. With its 24x lens this little camera can take beautiful pictures ,from the minute, in the macro mode, to subject that would be out of range with most point and shoot cameras.

I baught this as an accessory to my other cameras because it fits in to my pocket and it is easier to carry than my dslr s. It is packed with lots of easy to operate features.

very satisfied with product, simplicity in menu selection,

I am very satisfied with getting the pictures to my computer, The quality of photos is exactly what I would expect from an Olympus product. I have taken it on one trip. I am still getting use to it. The record button is in a place where my thumb naturally goes, so I hit it more than I mean to. I ran the battery down the first day before the day was finished. I don;t have enough experience with the camera yet to know if that will be an issue, but I am going to order an extra battery. I also am not comfortable with having to hold the camera when not in use, (No shoulder/neck strap)

Unlimited features, Good quality! god of capturing moments! :)

Fantastic in a small package. Size does not matter with this unit.

been searching for a cam like this....finally found it!
worth the wait...!!!

I am a home inspector and I love love love this camera. I also have an SP 600UZ which is another fantastic camera.

The zoom on this is amazing! What a fantastic camera!!!

Truly an amanzing camera
putting away my DSLR and will be using this sweet thing all the time.
