when i first bought this camera i thought it was alright and thought to myself that i had bagged a good bargain. however over the months i have realised that this camera wasn't a worthy investment. the olympus c -160 has very poor picture quality for starters i mean the nokia n 70 have 3 mega pixels and has better pictures and better zoom than this camera i have to say the is no poiint of olympus puttin zoom on this camera because it utterly poiuntless, when you are trying to get upclose the picture just gets really blurry and you realise that you better of not takin the picture because it would be just revolting. the camera also has a very small screen at the back which limits you functions and also there are not many good functions. i would recomend this camera if you were buying it for lets say you son/daughter otherwise it's a total waste of money.the camera supports video but with no sound which is really pointless. somyimes it aslo just shuts down and you have to take the battery and put the back in all over again i dont know y probbaly just mine overall this is a very poor camera for photographers. but a good place to start for begginers i guess. it also bears the weight of a brick i mean try carrying the camera in you pocket while wearing a pair of track suits u will need like a traoser with a belt its just no goood save you self from the embarrasment

I think the three things that make a good review are information, presentation and spelling, I think this review would benefit from some paragraphs and some more information
