Limited Shipping Protection – Top Rated Digital Camera Review
I searched some reliable websites and chose this one. We have thrown several cannon and Olympus point and shot digital cameras away because those were simply broken as we dropped them down on the ground by mistakes.
Not very \”tough\” it seems. Because it has no range finder, if you are out in the sun, the screen is almost impossible to see. The factory does make errors. This is actually my 2nd one I had some water leaking issues with the 1st one and Olympus was very easy to work with in resolving my issue.
I have taken roughly 2000 pictures and despite sending it to an Olympus rep and reading the manual cover to cover (which I rarely ever do) I still cannot get this camera to focus properly. I actually had to buy a cheap Polaroid digital camera in Rome to salvage some pictures during a recent trip.
The memory was so cheap that it wasn\’t worth trying to return it. The bundle gets four stars while the camera gets five. I used it 3 times under water up to 20 feet no problem. The pictures come out crystal clear.
Go for it I liked this camera out of the box. The software is intuitive, the options varied and I took it to the tide pools right away and got some great super macro shots of marine life underwater.
Anyways, I was not happy with my vacation pictures, mainly because it did not produce 100% crystal clear picture quality. It may be a good camera to give to the kids but don\’t count on this as your main camera.
The pictures are looking great and the zoom is perfect for us. We travel a good bit and this camera is easy to use and easy to carry in my purse. The quality of the video and photos was much better than expected…we ended up leaving the DSLR in our room most of the trip. We use this camera for our vacations. Excellent pictures video and good quality, the color are very strong, you can have some fun when you try to get pictures over the water! It is beautiful, and it takes amazing pictures!
I\’m waiting for a reply on this. To their credit, Olympus tech support is prompt, once you get past the phone tree. The way to reproduce the problem is to take a towel or a slightly damp fingertip and gently sweep downward. The metal screen will move and stay in the mid position you leave it rather than bounce back up when released to assume it position to protect the screen. We used it \”in\” the falls and were very happy with the pictures that we developed. Got the usual flattering pictures of us in our ponchos getting soaked. It uses a standard SD card. The old version used a smaller version which meant I couldn\’t swap them out with other cameras (yes, we own several different digital cameras.) The camera is pretty great.
I also use it in dark areas (think dusk to twilight) to focus on objects 20 feet away. GENERATORS FOR HOME USE.
