Nice
I bought this as an effort to modernize my 2 megapixel Olympus. The menu system is a huge leap in ease of usability and is one of this cameras greatest assets. I didn’t even need to crack open the manual to start. Ergonomics are good, maybe a hair on the small side for me. Everything is easy and intuitive to reach. I expected a significant difference in picture quality, but the largest thing I normally print out is 5″x7″ so I have not really been able to take advantage of the MP increase. I have not noticed a difference in detail even using the higher resolution. Zoom is no better than then older Olympus if as good…a little disappointing, but I haven’t seen a point and shoot with a zoom I like. Flash too is minimal typical of point and shoots. Battery life is so-s0 but I have purchased a couple extras which you should have in your camera bag anyway. There is a little metal tab which apparently holds the battery in place that does not retract to get the battery out. This is easily bent. You need a toothpick and a third hand to remove the battery and replace it without bending the latch. Obviously a design issue. Interestingly, the SD card adjacent to the battery has no need for such a flimsy latch. I have had some auto focus issues, but have not tinkered with all the different settings. It has the typical delay while the camera performs this task. On a couple of occasions, seemingly it couldn’t make up it’s mind determining the proper focus. Red eye reduction is excellent. The software that comes with it is okay, nothing too fancy but it does the job. It also includes a program that allows you to take pictures of business cards and it attempts to transfer these into a database. Two major problems with this. One, the database is proprietary. Two, it was only able to correctly do this on less than 5% of the samples I tested. You’re better off typing. Good idea, really poor implementation. Overall, I am happy with the camera, but probably would have been just as happy continuing with the older Olympus as my picture taking consists of snapping candid shots of the grandkids and stills for eBay.
