The Old Centurion 1/17/2010 12:24:44 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: Good camera for the price. Bought 2 of them at different times. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Newegg is the best. Fast delivery on standard shipping. 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
ian from Buckley 12/24/2009 12:33:47 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5XD card limited to 2GB storage? Pros: Nice compact package, big screen, I figured the other reviews can cover the quality and features fo the camera Cons: You are forced to use XD cards and they are only available with a max size of 2 GB! this is a big deal breaker for me. I just bought 2 ea 8GB micro SD cards and they were the same price each as the tiny 2 GB card. Other Thoughts: I have a number of Micro Sd and SD high capacity cards and now I have to buy an XD card that costs as much for a 2GB card as the 8 GB card class 6 I just bought. I hate proprietary cards make you pay more and get less small capacity 3 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 12/4/2009 9:53:45 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Good Camera for the price Pros: 12 Megapixels result in a nice quality photos and especially for the price! Had an older Olympus camera with 4 megapixels and it still runs pretty well, I have good faith in this brand and have had good results. The camera is super light and pretty standard to use. Cons: Can record video, but without sound it is pretty pointless. Besides that cant find much wrong with it. Other Thoughts: I never expected a camera that i bought for $68 to have every feature I wanted but for the price it is a great buy! I can live with the silent video because in the end it is not a camcorder and we cannot expect miracles from a budget product. I recommend this product to anyone! 11 out of 11 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 12/2/2009 6:51:19 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5What do you expect for under $100? Pros: Super light, super easy to use. Menu system one of the best I've seen as it has nice friendly icons with on-screen use. Battery door is spring-loaded (very cool). You'll be up and running in minutes. Color representation is spot-on. Quiet operation. Cons: Shutter button not round. Typical to this price range, it only likes sunny outdoor shots. Typical to point-and-shoot Olympus brand, the best shooting modes are DIS and Sport, all others are worthless. Other Thoughts: I have to laugh at those that give this cam a poor rating, because what do you expect for this price? This especially counts for the review by the guy who bought it as a cheap gift and expected it to perform miracles - GIVE ME A BREAK, PAL. I'm glad he's not MY friend. Just realize you are getting what you pay for. It is not a bad product. Simple? Yes. Basic? Yes. But not bad. 4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you?

primavera 12/1/2009 11:01:35 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5out the door! Pros: can't think of one, although initially thought that a price for 12mpx Olympus would be a decent deal. Cons: its unbelievable that a such poor quality camera in all aspects can be marketed under the Olympus brand. I was going to give to someone, but after spending about 30 min with it, I cannot think of a person that I can give this as a gift, because they will hate you right away after trying to use it. Myself, cannot use it, it's almost unusable: super-slow, clumsy-build, cannot focus in more than 50% times under indoor medium and low light, no matter how steady you try to be. It was a total waste of time and shipping cost (for RMA) 2 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Vman 10/7/2009 4:06:02 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Pretty Good Pros: Very good camera, pictures some in fast, very nice resolution and the screen looks beautiful. Good and cheap camera. 12MP's for under a $100 bucks? DEAL! Cons: None so far. 11 out of 12 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
