In my opinion this Olympus Camera is not very good for its purpose as it crashes most of the time, i have to keep changing the batteries every day and it is also quite heavy than execpt for me. If you are looking for a camera to take out with your self in the day then I would personaly not reccommend this camera, I think that this camera is to be used at night with the flash on, as the pictures would come out much clearer than they would in the day. ... ...you could go for this Olympus Camedia D 390, because in my opinion I think it wont last or work that much after you have used it a little bit. I was dissappionted with this camera as I was willing for this camera to be much better and reliable. I am not too into the looks either, I am a person who likes creativity, and this camera is too plain and is not up to my standards in looks. ...

Advantages: Excellent picure quality, ability to take small films. Disadvantages: Uses batterys quite quickly.
My family bought this camera about three years ago. Ever since we have used it on every holiday and every special event that we wanted to remember. Although it uses batterys quite quickly I feel that most cameras do and the good points of the camera certainly out weigh the bad points. I have found that the ability to erase pictures that you don't like there and then very handy as you don't have the problem of getting home and getting them processed ... ...go back to the place where you took them. I find the movie function very useful, I always use it to give a fuller view of the place I am at. The programme that you use to download the pictures of the camera is very simple to use and allows you to design special cards etc. for your loved ones with ease. You can easily create folders to keep your photos seperate. Overall an excellent buy! ...

Advantages: value for money, ease of use Disadvantages: battery life runs out very quickly
This is a great camera for staters as it works as any other 35mm camera would without you having to use the digital screen! The pictures are easy to brwose through and the navigation around the cameras menu is quite simple.
I have to say the favourite thing about this product is the software 'camedia' that comes with it-there is a great function for changing photos which is extremely simple to use (even my dad can use it!) such as reducing red eye ... ...phots in to seperate 'albums' (that is folders to you and me) and name them all seperatly and then group them if you want to. The software is just fantastic! The other great thing is the ease of downloading the photos to the software-simply insert provided usb cable to computer and camera and camedia will automatically start downloading the photos to the software.
All said and done the quality of the photos i have back from online printers has been ...

Advantages: Nice Weight Disadvantages: Bad Zoom quality
This camera is a great little camera, i got mine from boots for £89 for my last christmas, it is so useful.
when taking pictures it has the best quality ever. When zooming in i would not advise zooming straight up to the object because it does tend to blur out a bit.
There are so many functions, flash modes and colour modes. Some photos can be taken in black and white. i used this to take photographs of my little brother when he was a baby they ... ...wall.
The camera does not weight much and when brought new it comes with a strap so you can not drop it. one thing that i would have liked to have received with the camera was a camera holder/bag i had to buy one on top of the camera. when i brought my camera it came with a 32mb memory card, which is alright but could be better.
This camera looks nice, takes great pictures, has great features and comes with lots of different software to make sure ...

Advantages: Quick to learn, no major features to baffle Disadvantages: eats batteries, too small a storage card
This is a nice entry level camera with no real frills to it, but good for a snapper.
I found this a quick camera to get to grips with the manual was fairly basic but covered the ground work.
The batteries were sucked up and inparticular using the LCD viewfinder. The best option is spend a little more and buy a charger with ni-mh rechargables. they have lasted much longer than disposable akaline and better for the environment.
I havnt tested the ... ...close range object as without it images are left blurry.
the movie feature i found a little piontless without a bigger storage card (16mb with camera)
though they are becoming cheaper to buy as bigger ones come to the market.
The 16mb that comes with the camera is enough to store around 30 high quality pictures and it increases if you lower the quality to almost double at still good resolution. overall a fairly good camera, im sure there are alternatives ...

Advantages: Quick to learn to use; cheap enough; video option Disadvantages: eats batteries
So far so good, though my usage has been a little limited so far (photographing objects to sell stuff on Customer Notice Boards and embarrassing people at the office party!) On a more serious side, I did get the shop to print me off a 6x4 photo before I bought it and the results seemed fine to me. It’s easy to use and compact enough to fit in a handbag. The only drawback I have found is it eats batteries, so don’t forget to add the cost of a lithium ...
