My mom bought me this camera for me ages ago, and I haven't been able to put it down! I use it take pictures to sell on ebay (you can look at my auctions if you like!) Anyway, ... ...so easy to take pictures! I did learn to turn the flash off, but I've forgot- so that bit is a bit fiddly to do.
You can do some really cool effects- there's an option that you can choose so you can take two pictures side by side. I used this to take a picture of a baby and a toddler! They were so cute!!!! I've also noticed that using the camera doesn't leave a person with 'red eye' like nearly all cameras do. I think there was only a few pictures ...

Advantages: its compact, and cheap Disadvantages: its only digital zoom
this camera is ideal if you are travelling. its small and compact and has pretty good image quality (3.2 MP). it has a high-resolution 1.5 inch LCD monitor, 4 scene programs, 4 flash modes, and quicktime motion (with no sound). you can make your image in black and white or in sepia.
here are samples of pictures i took using it:

i recommend this camera to spontaneous photographers with a low budget. its really worth your money.
plus, if you are buying this camera, be sure to use Ni-MH rechargable batteries for long usage. most probably, 2100mAh.
this is a nice camera if you're not looking for good zooming quality. it uses ...

Advantages: Excellent picture quality and easy to use. Disadvantages: The pictures do take a while to save.
This was my first digital camera. It is affordable and very easy to learn to use. When you take a photograph it does take a while to save it so it is not really ideal for capturing anything quickly. It's much better used to take pictures of landscapes or posing friends/family. However the pictures are of very high quality. The menus are simple and very legible. I think that this is the perfect camera for someone who has never owned a digital camera ... ...you to change the colouration of pictures once taken, you can make them black and white or sepia toned which can make pictures look more professional. It is very easy to zoom in on certain parts of photographs you have previously taken and it has a 4x zoom for when you are taking a picture. Once you have taken a picture you can very simply lock it so that it cannot be accidently deleted which is a very helpful feature. Pictures are also easily deleted ...

Advantages: good for a first camera Disadvantages: poor quality pictures, poor zooming, small screen
...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. ... ...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. ...

Advantages: Everything on this camera is great Disadvantages: Loose lens
I got this camera for christmas last year and i think it is great.
Everything with this camera is simple and easy to use whether your just taking photos or sending them to the computer for printing.
I liked mine so much i went out and bought the printer for it which isnt badly priced either.
I have only one problem with this camera, which is the fact that over the first 6 months of owning it the lens has become loose, and when it is loose the ... ...just cant use the screen to see them unless you press the lens in.
I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem which must mean that it is just a one off fault with mine.
Overall i think this is a great little camera and well worth the money. ...

Advantages: clear images,easy to use, if a picture isn't good just delete it and start again Disadvantages: no disadvantages
