"Great camera, easy to use, nice pictures. However, the AA batteries that it uses last about an hour. I don't think this is normal. I've had the camera for 2 weeks and have had to change batteries 4 times already. That can get costly!"

"While planning a vacation I ordered the Olympus camera and then my departure date was moved up two days so, I purchased another brand of camera for the trip. After using the Olympus and comparing it with the one used on vacation.....the Olympus won every category.... shutter down."

"I got the camera and was so excited to use it! Only a few issues, it doesn't close all the way when the batteries are in, and I have been getting "card error" when taking some pictures,"

"This camera is wonderful! The discount I got was amazing and it takes pretty darn good pictures. I think the time from pushing the button to the actual taking of the photo could be quicker but other than that this is a worth while investment. I highly recommend this camera."

"I love the camera - it's great. The no shake feature is really good. The accessory kit is ok, but the tripod is rather flimsy."

"I was looking for a digital camera that would be easy to operate and have enough features to "play" if I wanted to. This Olympus in its combined package is certainly worth every penny I paid in both quality and expectations. It was ready to use, came with excellent batteries, and its design and hand-fitting comfort are as excellent as its simplicity to use.
Love it, recommend it, and would purchase this camera again in a heart beat.

"The page I saw when I ordered this product DID NOT say the camera was "Reconditioned". For the price, I could have purchased a similar new camera. It was embarrasing to give a gift as "Reconditioned" and it was too late to order something else. The camera is much smaller than appears in photo, and for a 70 year old, who I bought it for... is very difficult to use because it's difficult to see any of the buttons, images, wording. I am very disappointed that it was not advertised as reconditioned and that it is so small."

"I bought this camera to replace a video/digital camera that I had purchased for my husband (from Overstock,com) and subsequently misplaced. It arrived just in time for us to take it on our family vacation to Disneyworld and the Disney Cruise. The pictures are great, the display screen is extra large and the ease of operation is superb. It was a great buy!"
