ReviewsI really like this camera, although I believe its features can be a bit difficult to operate.
Completely worth buying.
Overall, I like it, I did a lot of research before deciding on this camera. My biggest complaint thus far is the XD pix cards, not a big fan.
None of my videos have sound to them, don't know if I've done something wrong or if it's a defect, have yet to figure it out and since I don't use that feature very often, it's not a huge deal to me but something I def. need to look into.
Full automatic to full control. A good range for the more ambitious amateur. Olympus should create a camera that allows lens filters. This doesn't without and extension tube and wide angle distortion. The cable that comes with the camera allows you to download to your computer. I'm using a 4 GB SD card but Olympus recommends a 2 GB card. It seems to be working. The camera comes with very little memory. You will definitely want to order an SD card to allow you to take more than a few pictures. I wish there was a good instuction maual to go with the camera. So much potential, so little time.
This is an excellent camera for general use, though it might dissapoint a professional (only jpeg output, as far as I can tell so far). That comment also illustrates my main problem with the camera. It has many, many great features - but they are poorly documented.
The range of the optical zoom is amazing - and can be extended with a cropping option, without hurting picture quality, to over 30X. Add the optional 1.7X telephoto lens (from Olympus) and you have a camera that can also be used for astrophotography - though at that magnification, you need a tripod.
For general use, the auto-stabalization works fine. There is also a remote shutter attachment available for tripod use.
Lots of automatic shooting modes - plus a full manual mode. Can't think of anything more to ask for there.
Bought this camera as a replacemnet for my Olympus SP-500 UZ. I like the extra wide angle as well as the 26X optical Zoom. Have taken about 1000 pictures since I bought it a month ago. It feels good to handle, even taking pictures with single hand holding, image stabilization works very well. It is an impressing camera.
I really like the wide angel as well as the 26 by optical zoom, but am still getting familiar the various avaiable settings, it seems slightly more complicated than my previous model.
I have only 2 negative points to mention:
1. It seems to eat batteries, and I find myself changing settings to conserve battery power by turning off review, and using the viewfinder in stead of the LCD.
2. The lens cover is solid but does not stay on, any little touch or bumb and it falls of. It does not have a nice latching mechanism like the lens hood on my SP-500 UZ
