Customer Reviews

Great Camera
This camera is small enough that I carry it right in my purse and have it with me at all times. Takes great pictures. The most important function for me is that it has the Image Stabilization.

A fuzzy camera
An unwise purchase. I bought this for a specific use: to shoot pictures on mountain bike trips, and was attracted by the shockproof/splashproof/size features. My 14 yr old son had one of these, and was raving about it. Unwisely I did not look closely at the images he was taking. So when it arrived and I tried it out, I found it gave unacceptably fuzzy scenery images, with unexciting colours, and moving targets also were fuzzy. Thinking it defective, I then did a close comparison with the results of my son's camera, shooting the same photos on each. Same result. I tried with and without image stabilisation, auto ISO vs fixed ISO etc, to no avail. So now am trying to sell/return the camera, and at same time telling our son it's just my camera that is a dud.

As a family we have had many digital cameras. Mainly Canon Powershot (3 in last 10 years), also 3 Panasonic Lumix (2 large, one pocket) and a Sony. These are more expensive, but considerably better quality, and the cameras we now use normally are both Lumix. This is our comparison, and I at least expected the Olympus to take good quality pictures. For scenery neither of our two 760s do, and seem to go back to the quality of mid-1990s digitals.

My last 2 Canon Powershot both stopped working because the sensors died, after 4-5 years. I took the latest, a 2003 Powershot S400, into repair just now and was quoted an impossible $300. But while there I saw and checked out the bottom range Canon A460, for $99 on Amazon approx. Certainly without the size or robust features of the Olympus, but the picture quality seemed very good in comparison. At half price, I think this will be a better bet for mountain biking!

Great Camera for the Money
The Amazon website was the only place where I found this camera at such a great price, I was looking for a digital camera that was over 7 megapizels and had a rechargeable lithium battery, as cameras that use double a batteries tend to eat them up too quickly. The camera arrived very promptly with no problems, and I had no problem charging the battery and inserting the memory card. I bought it for my boyfriend who tends to rough up electronics, so that is another reasoon why I chose this camera, as it advertises being weather proof (to a certain degree obviously) and reinforced a big more securely than other cameras, including the Sony digital camera I own. It takes great pictures and the battery is very long lasting. I was very pleased with my purchase, and so is my boyfriend. Thanks!
