Definitely worth every penny!, April 11, 2006
Reviewer: Janelle Arjoon
I got this camera for my birthday last year and it's fantastic. This
camera is the perfect example of Olympus' ability to integrate several
useful functions into one handy unit, just as the average consumer would
expect any leading manufacturer to do.
- The zoom on this camera is AMAZING. I took a photo of one of the
Bahamian islands from a plane and it looks like a professional aerial
photograph.
- The multiple modes are ingenious. Some of them include the night mode,
snow mode (great for winter), portrait, auto (for the everyday shot),
night mode (for low lighting), and movie mode (when you think the picture
alone won't capture the essence of the moment...on the other hand, THIS
camera just might!)
- Extremely powerful flash. My friends and I were taking shots one night
with about 10 different cameras. The lighting was pretty dim so we all had
to use flash to take the pictures. My camera was the only one that took
the picture bright enough for the contents of the photo to be properly
visible.
- The movie mode is useful and so much fun. I love nature photography, and
one day found a lovely aquarium but didn't want to just take a picture, so
I used the movie mode. With the combination of the movie mode and the
incredible zoom (and I wasn't even using the maximum zoom), the movie was
utter perfection. It was so good, you could hear the bubbles from the
water filter, see ever scale on the fishes, and it all looked so real that
some people even said they felt like they were inside the aquarium. Of
course, they weren't really inside the aquarium. Ah, the joys of zoom.
- Battery power usage. Compared to other cameras which suck your batteries
dry after just a few uses, this camera uses much less battery power to
function. I bought some rechargeable batteries for $[...]and a charger for
$[...] right here on Amazon. The first time I charged them and put them in
the camera, it lasted about a month and I had taken over 200 photographs!
- Ease of use. The software that comes with the camera is very simple and
can be used by anyone. Just connect the camera to the computer via the USB
port, click "PC" on your camera and the software pops up on your screen
(after you install it of course!). Then just select the photos you want to
transfer, where you want them to go (desktop etc) and click "Transfer".
The photos are rather large, so you might want to store them on a disc or
flash drive. It's that simple!
- Efficient shipping and great service from Amazon. I received the camera
4 days after the order was placed, and I have NEVER had any problem at all
with it.
- Finally, the price. This is one of the less expensive cameras on the
market and may be a little steep for some, but you get the best price here
on Amazon. Compare it to Best Buy and Circuit City if you need to see it
for yourself. It came with a rebate, and when you sign up for the Amazon
card you get it even cheaper. The memory cards are also on Amazon and
cheaper than most other places as well.
