 Camera Features Locked to OEM Memory Cards September 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The camera equipment is fine...
However, the "Scene" and "Panorama" modes are locked to an Olympus branded memory card.
Those functions will not work without an OEM card.
That is the reason for my poor rating.
 perfect gift September 15, 2008
this camera is a blast. fun and enjoyble. pictures with an amazing quality, easy to use, its really water proof.
Everything I hoped it would be September 14, 2008
WATERPROOF - Felt funny putting it underwater the first time, but I was truly impressed by the quality of the pictures. One added advantage I never thought of or heard about was rain. I was always used to protecting my camera in the rain, but now I couldn't care less!
QUALITY - So far, I have taken several hundred pictures and the few disappointments have been my fault. The quality is great.
EASY TO USE - Everyone in my family has taken great pictures. The menu system is intuitive and simple.
ZOOM - 3x zoom is a slight drawback, but the other features make it worthwhile.
MOVIE - Pretty decent. The ability to take underwater picutres is great. Nothing like taking a movie of yourself jumping in the pool and having the camera catch the action above and below water.
OVERALL - I am very happy with my decision to buy this camera.
Great durable camera September 10, 2008
I bought this camera to replace a Canon that recently broke. I read the other reviews and this camera is worth it. Great value.
I especially like the underwater feature and I've taken plenty of quality videos at the beach and in the pool. People can't believe you're taking a camera into the water.
Shutter speed could be faster in some cases where low light is there an I've had a couple of blurred shots. Overall, pictures are sharp, good battery life.
There is one stupid proprietary thing Olympus requires. The M or H Picture card IS REQUIRED if you want video longer than 10 seconds. The camera comes with a microSD adapter but they limit video on SD to 10 seconds. With the M or H PictureCard, it can take video for as long as you have storage. This is the only negative.
LOVE it!!! September 8, 2008

I love this camera! I bought it right before a trip to Hawaii and took some (300+ in all) really great pictures! It is easy to use and takes beautiful pictures. I love that it can go under water - the main reason I bought it. It does take better pictures in the pool than in the ocean, but I just ended up taking lots of pictures at the pool! I now have a video of my daughter (who swims like a fish) swimming under water! That alone is worth the price of the camera for me. There is no way I could ever capture that! The still pictures, above and below the surface, are great too! The battery lasted long enough. It did run out but only after taking lots of pictures. I did recharge the battery every night. But that's no big deal. Also, the battery should only be put in one way, but as long as you are careful and look at both the camera and the battery, you shouldn't have a problem putting it in wrong. Just be careful I read someone put it in wrong and had a hard time getting it back out. The only drawbakc to this camera, although not a big one, is that the XD card does not fit in either my 4 year old desktop or my brand new laptop computer. You have to connect via the USB port and download directly from the camera, again, if it takes a long time the battery life can be an issue.
All in all, I still feel it is the most fun camera I have ever owned! If you need a new, compact camera that can take pictures absolutely anywhere and under any conditions, buy this camera!
