Someone else mentioned that photos come out pale, I agree, the general color quality is not too good, actually it is poor, not at all what Olympus usually does. This performance in the download to card is very slow, I am using a Fuji M512 card, works very well on Fuji or other Olympus cameras. I going to return this camera, it just is not acceptable. Cool Features But Bad Photo Quality -- I recently bought this camera after testing it in several different stores. I was drawn to the many different options avaiable to choose from, including the one that automatically takes the photo as soon as the subject smiles. The colours on the large LCD screen were beautiful and extremely close to the items I took pictures of. So I bought the camera, thinking I would be very happy with it. That night, I took quite a few photos indoors and, the next day, took some shots outside. I also experimented with the macro and supermacro modes and finally uploaded all the pictures to the computer. I thought there was some sort of error in uploading when I saw how most of the pictures looked. I deleted them from the computer and reloaded them, hoping that that there had been some sort of error the first time. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The photos were very washed out once on the computer as well as when they were printed, though they had appeared beautifully on the screen. After checking around, I found that this seems to be a major plague of this camera. Also, though the macro mode produced some good phtots (despite the colouration), the supermacro mode produced photos of very poor quality. (I uploaded a picture (non-macro mode) to show just how the camera works. That picture was the best of a series of photos taken under the same conditions, though using different settings to get the best shot and illustrates the washed out looks that all of my pictures displayed.) I give this camera 3 stars mainly because of how easy it is to use and the many different settings available, as well as the decent speed of taking photos. However, the fact that the actual pictures are not of very decent quality knocks off a star and the other lost star is due to the fact that many of the available settings don't really add much to the camera overall. For instance, the mode that takes a photo instantly once the subject smiles does not operate that well. The subject must stay still for a few seconds and, if they move even slightly, the camera will have to reposition and reset itself before it takes the picture, wasting quite a bit of time in the process. However, since the actual picture quality is more important than the bells and whistles, I returned this camera shortly after purchasing it. Love It -- Camera arrived quickly and it's very easy to operate as well as a good size. For the price you can't go wrong. Great Camera -- Fun and easy to use. This compact camera is great to take along for business or pleasure. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Have used the camera to do home inspections and document items that need to be corrected. Great pictures even in tight spots. Stores in your shirt pocket. Disappointing Purchase -- First, I'm disappointed in the camera and that's no fault of the seller. However, shortly after purchasing the camera I found out that I could have bought the same camera model for 25% less elsewhere. I also responded to a questionaire that the seller, Expo Eletronics, sent me to see if I was happy with my purchase. I told them the same thing that I said here and still have not received any response from them.
