Advantages: Small (just 16.5mm depth), Looks Great, Quality Pictures (7.1mp), Li-ion Battery..
Disadvantages: Uses the more expensive XD card instead of SD

...or just because its an olympus i dont really know, but i can assure you the quality of the photos it produces are amazing. In the box you get: The camera itself, A li-ion battery + seperate charger. This is a bit difference to most cameras as the charger doesnt plug into the camera to charge it, you have to remove the battery and put it into a seperate charger. Maybe this is because the camera's so small they could fit the charging 'bits' inside ...
...you also get a euro plug type charger which is useful if your going on holiday (in europe) as you dont have to worry about the travel adaptors. Another cable included which isnt with many cameras is the AV cable. This allows you to connect the camera straight to the tv to preview the photos. As well as all the above, you get the usb cable, software and manual. On the camera itself, there are many different features, modes and 'scenes'. The first ... Read review

Advantages: Nice size, looks brilliant, good battery life and great picture quality
Disadvantages: Small internal memory

This is a great little camera. I bought it from Argos for £130, a little overpriced compared to the price of Amazon however i needed it on very short notice and i was not dissapointed. The camera uses the xd memory card which isn't quite as cheap as the sd card range but nevertheless very much worth the money. The battery life on the camera is good and can generally take around 200 to 300 images before it needs recharging. The charger included with ...
...time and usually takes about 6 hours to charge fully, the box also includes a 2 pin european style charger which is great for going abroad in europe. This is generally enough time to fill a 512mb memory card, however if you are looking to fill a 1gb size memory card it may be necessary to by an extra battery. The camera has a wide range of settings most of which are great the only one that can sometimes be a problem is the night mode which has to ... Read review

Advantages: small, slim, easy to use
Disadvantages: too many functions?

i must admit that what first attracted me to this camera was its look and its price. its reasonably cheap and it looked so cute as well as being quite slim! from my perspective anyway! but when i started using it properly, i found all the cool functions it had. as well as being a 7.1megapixel camera, the 2.5" screen is big enough so that the pictures are displayed clearly. it has a 3x zoom so that any closeups could be taken and cos of the high ...
...loads of preset functions, such as underwater, behind glass and candle modes. some of these made me laugh, such as cuisine and documents mode! it made things so much simpler, i ahvent got round to trying out all the different modes in their correct settings but so far, the candle and behind glass have been quite good. the behind glass one doesnt give as much reflection as u would normally get with most cameras. however, i thought there were a few ...

Advantages: Light, compact, easy to use, brilliant quality of pictures and diversity of functions
Disadvantages: can be a slight time delay for pictures to take

I received this camera as a Christmas present from my Mum and Dad and have been absolutely delighted with it. I takes very clear pictures and the automatic focussing and flash is great for someone, like me, who is not great at photography. There are so many functions available on this camera that I imagine it would suit someone who was a little more knowledgeable about what makes a good photograph! I really like the fact that this camera is so compact ...
...size despite the fact that the camera itself is so small. I used to not want to take my camera out all the time because my old one was fairly heavy, but now I have got into the habit of taking it with me everywhere and am really enjoying being able to take photographs wherever and whenever I want! ...

Advantages: several functions, and high quality results
Disadvantages: No view finder for taking photos in bright sunlight

This camera looks stylish, sleek as a result of the rechargable battery. Additionally the huge 2.5 inch screen allows for precise pictures to be taken and enables easy viewing of photos afterwards. There is an incredible range of settings and functions on this camera, which are all extremely useful once you have had chance to experiment with the different modes. In particular the night mode and close up photo facilitate the production of high quality ... Read review
