firmware update [Posted on 2008-07-14] Just got the camera last week. Seems like it will be all it says it is and more. Just a quick note for anyone concerned about zoom lag. If you install the Olympus software that came with the camera on your computer you can access firmware updates for the camera. Olympus has very recently done a firmware update that added a language and improves the zoom response on the camera. Zoom response seems improved since I updated my camera.
Overall a great digital camera. [Posted on 2008-07-15] I purchased this camera for taking still photos so was not concerned with video. On a recent trip to Alaska I used this camera to take pictures of nature scenes, wildlife, and just general pictures. It performed beautifully. The pictures were extremely clear and sharp even when using the digital zoom ranges. I did encounter some issues with the automatic focus not wanting to lock on distant objects but should be able to resolve this once I get used to using the manual focus feature. The one feature of this camera I would like to see changed is the picture card. For myself I have used cameras in the past which use XD cards so I already had the capability to utilize them. I would have preferred it if the camera used the more universal SD cards. Other than that I have been very satisfied with my purchase.
Its more expencive on amazon [Posted on 2008-07-15] You should really shop around, I got mine for 269 at shop digital direct, (an online store)it really is a great product and why pay more for the same thing.http://shopdigitaldirect.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=7661
AN OUTSTANDING CAMERA! [Posted on 2008-07-16] After much research, we decided to replace our (then state of the art) 4 Megapixel camera with this one and we've been very happy that we did. This camera does it all and is very easy to use. We're very happy with it and would recommend it most highly.
cameraguru [Posted on 2008-07-18] this camera had the best color i have seen most of the time the other part of the time it took too long for response time and was not a good pic, the zoom was like turning my 70-300 vr but not as responsive
