About This Brand
Olympus budget series compacts emphasize simple operation. High-end SP models have featured very long zooms. Select "Tough" subcompacts claim to be water-resistant, waterproof, shockproof, and crushproof. Olympus has Pen series models that are based on micro four-thirds sensor technology. This type of camera combines key SLR features—a large image sensor and interchangeable lenses—with the smaller size and weight of a point-and-shoot. Olympus produces several E-series SLRs, and offers a wide range of lenses.
Really must read the instructions before using, not easy to figure out just out of the box.Only comes in silver or black.
Overall it is a great camera. Totally worth the price. The pictures come out VERY clear. For something so little and lightweight it has surprisingly exceptional video quality too. I was not expecting that. You definitely must read the instructions before using the camera. Lastly, I wish it came in more colors.
5X optical zoom, good performance in daylight, compact
Weakness
poor performance in low-light conditions
I occasionally used this camera. It takes good pictures in daylight, but does not do a good job in low-light conditions. Also I found it's bit of slow in terms of focusing, and response.
Power Zoom in a small camera both size as well as price
