Summary: Fun Basic Camera

Comment: I love this camera as a fun basic camera. It takes great quality pictures and there isn't a huge lag time in between taking pictures. I use this as my everyday, just want to have a camera around camera. It's light weight and fits in my purse. This also comes with an adaptor so you can use the microSD card, which is nice since I already had a microSD card on hand. I've already had two friends buy the camera and they love it too. It really does work underwater, but I have yet to drop it.

Summary: Great camera for the money

Comment: Great camera for traveling. Shots sometimes are fuzzy, but if you take your time and with some care, the pictures come out great.
Can recommend it for casual or everyday shooter.

Summary: Sturdy, inexpensive pocket camera takes good pictures

Comment: I bought this camera for my daughter because her last two cameras lasted about one year. This one can easily fit into a pocket and the electronics are well encased. The zoom is pretty good, and we are looking forward to trying out the underwater modes. I think this one will last longer if it doesn't get lost first.

Summary: Ok, but might not really be waterproof!!

Comment: I got this camera (although not this exact model, mine is 7.1) about 6 months ago. The pictures are not that good, lots of them are fuzzy, some are out of focus, and it doesn't take very good indoor pics, night pics, or any other pics in lighting besides natural light during the day time. Any photo that is not focusing directly on a person's face does not turn out that great. Also, when I compared the exact same picture taken on two different cameras (my Olympus Stylus vs. a friend's camera- not sure which camera, sorry), the picture on the friend's camera has MUCH better color- the people look less washed out and the colors are MUCH more vibrant on other cameras.

And on a more serious note, my sister got this same camera and took it on her honeymoon. Although we had never actually tried it in water, and were hestitant, since this camera is advertised as "water-proof" she took it snorkeling. As soon as it got into the water, the camera broke, and would not take any more pics. The screen shut off, and she lost all her other pics. So they didn't have a camera for most of their honeymoon, and we are NOT happy with this camera! It should not advertise as waterproof if it really is not. I read a few other reviews who said something similar happened...although many people say their cameras work fine under water. So I would suggest you try it yours out at home first...although if it really does break when you put it in the water, tough luck, because I doubt you will be able to get a refund! We've tried!

So if you are thinking about getting this camera, I would tell you, it's not a horrible camera. It takes pictures. Sometimes. But I would definitely not get it- There are cameras out there that are a lot better. Get one of them instead.

Summary: Great camera for the beach!

Comment: I love this camera and have had it for about a year now. I purchased it to use on snorkeling trips and have been very pleased with the quality of the underwater photos. So much better than the cheap disposable underwater cameras. The only down side is that the battery doesn't last as long as I'd like.
