5 out of 5 stars Nice camera, but a little heavier than I thought   August 27, 2008
Lin
It is a really cool camera and I really like the stability function. You can take pictures when there is no sufficient lights or you are in moving.


3 out of 5 stars not convinced   August 27, 2008
P. Martinez (Florida)
was very excited about the camera, but I'm having problems with balancing the right lighting for indoor pictures. Many of my pictures where the subject is near a lamp or any kind of light source come out very yellow; even if you change the settings for indoor, party, night etc. I would like the pictures to have brighter colors. I have not printed them yet, will see how they come out. These where very simple pictures and should not be complecated to get a good quality picture.


4 out of 5 stars you can't have everything...   August 27, 2008
T.willy (CA)
Overall this is a very good and unique camera, and I am glad I purchased it.
Highs: unbeatable LCD screen, zoom range, quality wide angle lens, small size!, small battery and charger
Lows: compared to my bulkier old Canon S2IS: less control, fussier autofocus, and unimpressive (weak) fill-flash. This is flash issue is not something I have read in other reviews, but in my hands the fill flash is poor at lighting up faces with a sunset behind them, for example, despite multiple adjustments.
If you accept the above pros/cons, you might agree that this is a terrific little travel camera.



4 out of 5 stars A pretty good camera with an awesome telephoto.   August 26, 2008
Chipper F (Nashville, TN United States)
I bought this camera after our old Olympus died and have used it quite a bit.

Pros:
The camera has an awesome telephoto lens. The 10x optical zoom is what sold me on the deal. It also takes great videos and allows zooming during the video. It supports SDHC cards so you can get an 8Gig card and take TONS of pictures.

Cons:
The autofocus isn't the greatest. I downloaded and installed a firmware update and that helped but it still isn't perfect. It isn't terrible, just slightly annoying. The flash and microphone are both located in places easily covered up by your fingers if you're not paying attention.

Summary:
I recommend this camera. The pictures are good, although occasionally getting the right focus takes a second try. The video capability all but eliminates the need for a separate video camera. The 10x optical zoom is a huge plus.



4 out of 5 stars Where's the view finder?   August 26, 2008
E. Harrison (Deer Isle)
The LCD screen is huge and clear. It is very user friendly and the optical image stability is great. However I miss the old fashioned view finder for outside shots in the sun. Especially on the water where there is lots of glare. It is hard to see the screen for those of us with impared vision. Had a hard time knowing what I was shooting.Generally love it.
