A great amateur camera..........2006-12-02

I've had this camera for almost a year now, and I'm very happy with it! Photos come out clearly, and you can load them onto your computer for editing or emailing within moments. There are also a number of easy-to-use bonus features, such as self portrait and movie clips. If you're like me -- someone who only takes photos on vacation and at family gatherings, wanting to capture the memories with good quality but no fuss -- this is definitely your camera!

Shutter Lag Decoded.......2006-07-07

To all of you out there who have experienced shutter lag...

Simple- To simply keep the pictures from blurring, turn the dial to "sports mode."

Advanced-To take super close-up or high res. pictures, set the dial to "manual" and set the shutter speed at at 1/60 or lower.

To the guy who wants to take pictures of himself...

Set your camera on a tripod. Go to Manual Mode. Hit ok/menu. go up (to the picture of the clock) and turn the "wait" on. The flash should then fire 12 seconds after you press the shutter button.

response can be tricky.......2006-05-17

I was unimpressed with my purchase because of the 'shutter lag'. I found a review that shed some light on why this was happening to me. Here is an excerpt of what I found "...Shutter lag, the delay between depressing the shutter button and capturing the image, measured an impressive 1/10 second when pre-focused and just 4/10 second including autofocus. In single exposure mode, the shot to shot delay averaged 1 second without the flash and between 4 and 5 seconds with flash, depending on the distance to the subject. "
So, it seems that picture quality (resolution) and using the pre-focus feature can drastically affect the performance of this model.

serious problems.......2006-05-03

This was my Olympus camera; my previous digital ones were Fuji and those were generally superior. Here are my problems with this camera:

- There's a delay of a couple of seconds between pressing the button and the shutter clicking which really sucks for action shots.

- I've had some difficulty with outdoor scenic shots... there's a tendency for shadow-covered areas to come out very dark.

- Flash photos often look terrible.

Excellent Camera!! The Best Of Its Price.......2005-11-02

This is a great camera in its range..This olympus has 320 x 160 Quick Time Movie mode..This is not so exciting.. But others features are simply great...It has in-built help and tons of in-built features and shooting modes. If you are person who likes simplicity and powerfullness, this suits you perfect. The menu operations are very simple and its zooming is really good.The images are crystal clear and sharp..
The design is also great.. It is very easy to handle.
The thing is you 'll need atleast 128 MB XD Card for experiancing its complete excellence.. The pictures at the Best quality mode are really great..
Even a $400 camera dosn't have such an excellent contrast and brightness. Exciting pics.. When I compared with other cameras around $350, this is even better..

The 2in 1 mode isa good one.. The Panorama Mode is extremely great.. You can stitch like 8 pics together to any side using the Olympus Master software given with the camera.. You can take a vast landscape as several pics and fix it all together.

The only problem I face is it does not have Lithium Ion or some in-built rechargeble battries, it uses 2 AA batteries.. So you need atleast two sets of good rechargeble batteries ( Preferrably Duracell or Panasonic ) and a good quick recharger. This would do really good..

If you have the batteries, then its the best camera in its price, I bet it.. Its Simply Excellent
