Good combination of picture quality and reliability
When the APS system began, we purchased the Canon 370Zand it still works after several repairs.My wife is a principal and needed a small camera to fit in her purse and I needed a camera to fit in my pocket on trips.The Canon LT260 was purchased for $100 and has lasted in very heavy use for over four years without repairs.The quality of picture, strength of the flash, the 2X zoom and the ruggedness would be hard to match for the price.However, this great camera which has traveled the world and taken an average of 24-48 pictures a week finally died.Although my wife has an excellent digital camera, she wants another LT260!

Disappointing Picture Quality
I bought this camera last summer to replace an old Olympus APS camera that I'd had stolen. I went with this Canon APS because I had always been very happy with the APS picture quality, ease of picture taking and because I've liked the quality of Canon products in general in the past. This camera has been nothing but a disappointment. My pictures are grainy; the colors are washed out; the world through the shutter of this camera is drab, dull and blurry. I've tried everything from adjusting the film speed I'm using to switching who I use as a developer...The results are always the same when I get my prints back. Do not make the same mistake I did and waste your money on this camera.

Canon Elph 260LT
I would suggest this camera to anyone who wants a reasonable camera that takes wonderful pictures.I got this camera as a gift a few years ago, and have yet to take a picture that does not turn out perfect.(I do however suggest always using 400 speed film.)I have bought a few of this camera for gifts, and plan do buy more for this Christmas season.I have also talked other friends and relatives into buying this for their use!This is a great camera for a great value! ...

The C800 Advantix camera from Kodak is an Advanced Photo System camera with point-and-shoot simplicity.It features a 27-80mm motorized zoom lens and infrared autofocusing, letting you snap photos from 2 feet and beyond.A pop-up flash fires automatically in low-light situations and fires away from the lens, reducing red-eye.Auto close prevents washout photos, and multibeam focusing keeps your subject in focus when taking wide-angle pictures. The flash folds down when the camera is off and serves as a protective lens cap.Read more

Features

• 27-80mm motorized zoom lens brings the subject 3 times closer
• Automatic flip-up flash fires in low-light situations and powers down flash intensity for close shots
• Film-door safety interlock prevents accidental fogging
• Self-timer lets you get into the picture
• Midroll film change

Wonderful camera!
I bought this camera over three years ago, and it never once failed me.It has several useful features, like portrait mode, red-eye reduction (though that's pretty standard in a camera nowadays, it seems), and the ability to take different sizes of pictures.I found the panoramic size to be especially nice.If you plan to take a lot of pictures at night, expect to receive clear, bright results with the camera's night mode.I took a picture in the pitch dark using night mode, and it looks as though the picture was taken in daylight!The self-timer and various flash modes are great, too.Moreover, the camera is very easy to use--once you read the manual, that is.However, one thing to keep in mind is that Advantix film is usually more expensive than regular 35 mm film.

Great camera!
Bought this camera when I thought I was going on a trip to Peru.The trip fell through, but I've had lots of fun with the camera since.I usually take it with me everywhere, just in case I spot something interesting to take photos of.Most recently, the camera has gone snowshoeing with me-I really appreciated the drop-in loading when trying to perform this operation while wearing gloves.Recently developed my first roll of film, and am very impressed with the quality of the pictures, especially the panoramic shots.Be warned, however, developing panoramic shots is expensive...I think I had to pay .90 per panoramic shot, which can add up quickly.However, in exchange, I have a number of gorgeous pictures to admire.Overall, I like the ease of use of this camera, although I wish that the tiny buttons were bigger-its harder than it looks to press a button with the "control button acuator" (to quote Kodak) than you would think.A small ergonomic inconvienience to pay for nice pictures.I'm planning to take it with me when I actually DO make it to Peru-maybe next year!:) Ciao.

Awesome camera for the price
Like a lot of the other reviewers have said, this camera takes great pictures!Clear and crisp!And I'm the kinda person that takes pictures hanging out the car window and on the back of a 4 wheeler.It's as if I was standing still!It's so nice to be able to capture a panoramic picture whenever you want, and be able to switch back to regular sized photos with the touch of a button.And all on the same roll of film.So easy.I would highly recommend this camera!And with such a low price, you cant go wrong.

The Best!
Even for people on a low budget this season, this is a great, fun, easy-to-use gift. I have owned one of these for almost 2 years now, and have found many ways to get exactly the picture I want. With three photo sizes that change in the viewer, one is always guaranteed to know approximately how thier photo will turn out. Though not particularly inexpenxive, the APS film system is reasonable, and the pictures turn out great! For a younger, or older, aspiring photographer, this is the camera to start with!

great camera
i bought this camera right before a trip, and was a little nervous using a new camera. i was not disappointed, every picture came out crisp and clear. the size is great, so small you can easily put it in your pocket. the different settings are good too, especially the panoramic. film, batteries and developing may be a wee bit more, but it is definitely worth it. i've owned more expensive cameras that did not take pictures this well. ...

Canon Elph Z3 Zoom APS Cambera Kit
I love this camera because it offers three different picture sizes and has the zoom lense. It is the second one I have owned. The only problem I have with it is putting in the date. A friend always has to do this for me.

Great Camera
People dont realize its not just the camera that takes good pictures, but how the person uses the camera.I bought this camera in 2002 and i still have it. It takes great pictures. I took pictures of weddings and parties and the picture came out great. People loved the pictures. Cameras do break so you do have to be careful how you load the film. The only bad thing about the camera is you have to push the button down for a second, then release it and it takes a moment to take the picture so this camera is not good when taking pictures of small children. APS film does have a disadvantage versus the 35 mm on the quality of the picture when you enlarge, but the advantage is you can get 3 different sizes which is good when you what to get a scene. Its very compact and it comes with a case.

it's alright
I have had this camera for a few months now and while taking pictures it all of a sudden, it froze on me and now it is useless. I probably will have to pay more for fixing it than it is worth. I would definitely invest in a different camera. ... Read more

I just cannot find this cameera anywhere
Why can I notfind this camera anywhere

Best Camera I Have Owned!
I purchased this particular camera July 2003.Thus far I have taken 7 rolls of film with this camera.First off I found loading the film to be the easiest I have encountered.You just drop the film in, shut the door and the film sets itself.All of the features in this camera allows the photographer to take GREAT pictures.Every picture I took, using this camera, looked as though a professional had taken them.To get familiar with all of the features I purposely took pictures that utilized each feature.Again every picture came out GREAT!Close ups of people did not have the red-eye due to the Flip Flash feature.Photos I took of objects far away seemed a lot closer due to the Infinity feature.Photos I took at night looked as though they were taken in the day light due to the Night View feature.The 3 picture sizes also produced fabulous pictures.The Preview screen, on the back of the camera, came in handy for viewing the picture right away to make sure I got the shot I was after.I also like that I can set the date, time and event to print on the photo.I love this camera so much that I am trying to find one for several members of my family.

What I've Been Looking For!
I absolutely love this camera!I was considering a digital camera but wasn't impressed with the clarity of the pictures, and yet I really wanted to send pictures to family via e-mail.This camera gives me the best of both worlds and for a lot less money! Read more

With its 24-60mm lens (2.5x), the Kodak Advantix C750 camera lets you zoom in for intimate close-ups and back out again for group shots. For those occasions when you can't zoom out far enough, you can switch to panorama mode and capture that sweeping landscape or get the whole group. To ensure that you always know what your image will look like, the C750 uses a real-image viewfinder that works no matter what print format (C, H, or P) you're using. The handy midroll change feature lets you switch film cartridges at any time. This lets you share your camera, but keep your film separate; you can also switch between black-and-white and color film or organize your images by theme.Read more

Disappointed
As SuePDesigning1 wrote, I 2 purchased this camera based on the excellent reviews it received from my number 1 research tool and "bible"-Consumer Reports Magazine. I had the camera for approximately 3-4 years. It took wonderful pictures for a "point and shoot" camera. The picture quality was worth the extra price i paid for the specialized "Advantix" film. Pictures from this camera rivaled those I had previously taken with a 35mm camera and were tons better than those I took with throwaway cameras. I was proud to carry it with me. It fit into my purse very nicely and I could whip it out anytime the occasion arose 2 take a picture. My audiences just loved those pictures. When it stopped working in the middle of my picture-taking at an important event about 2 months ago, I too thought the battery needed to be replaced. We replaced the battery. About 2 weeks ago I was taking pictures and the camera stopped working again. Again we purchased a new battery thinking the 1 we had just purchased was bad;the camera still didn't work. Our experience to get some satisfaction from Kodak exactly mirrors the experience of SuePDesigning1;in fact,our stories are the same except we got mysteriously "disconnected" when 1 troubleshooter tried to transfer our call to another unit that may have been able to further assist us. Needless to say we were not beneficiaries of a coupon or a throway camera and we're left with all of this Advantix film. I was going 2 purchase another Kodak Advantix camera just to use the film but I think now I'll go with a reputable digital vendor. Thanks for letting me vent!

Would not recommend!!!
I bought this camera 2 years ago based on the rave reviews I read here. I really liked the camera and felt that the picture quality was good, it was easy to use and despite a sluggish zoom I felt that overall I got a pretty good camera for the money. Rercently, I was taking pictures and the camera just stopped working. I put in fresh batteries. Still nothing. Bought more batteries thinking the ones I had were duds. The camera still refused to work. I checked the Kodak website for repair info, called the recommended company and was floored to find that the repair cost was going to start at the same price I PAID for the camera. The only way they would be willing to remove the film that was still inside would be if I had it fixed first!I wrote Kodak via email and received as their reply that the camera had only a 1 year warrantee but they were sending me a disposable camera and a coupon ($10) good for another Kodak camera. Had I known that I would be paying over $100 for a camera that would last for only 2 years I would have never purchased it in the first place.Speaking with local repair shops they have advised that the best customer service is with Canon and Olympus. My next camera will be from one of those two. I doubt I will ever consider any Kodak camera in the future.

Well worth the extra processing fees
This is by far the best little camera I've owned. After losing my Pentax in a burglary, I searched for a compact, versatile replacement and decided, after reading the reviews, on the Advantix C750.I've taken about 8 rolls of film so far and been delighted with the results. Outdoor shots are perfect and I love being able to decide before each shot whether I need panoramic or "family" sized prints or just "regular" prints.The only photos which haven't been quite up to par are telephoto indoor pictures in less than great lighting ... these turned out somewhat grainy but I'm being very picky here. The compact sizing encourages me to carry the camera wherever I go.Even though the film and processing are a little more than with regular cameras, I am so pleased with the APS results that I still think it's a bargain.Although there are a great many "menu" features available, such as deciding right before the shot how many prints you will want of it, and adding a title right then and there, for most people the simplicity of use is what will appeal.It's pretty much idiot-proof, especially as the film winds itself on and off - no slipping possible. I highly recommend this camera for every day use. ... Read more

Kodak's F620 uses the popular APS Advantix film to provide high-quality photos in everyday use. With its one-touch 2x zoom lens, you can quickly zoom in or out for that perfect shot. The camera has an advanced autofocus lens so you can snap pictures with ease. Stretch yourself creatively by choosing from three different print formats: classic, panoramic, or group format. The flash unit is automatic and has a mode that reduces annoying red eye in your photos. You can also manually turn the flash on or off for greater control.Read more

Great, user friendly camera
I've had a great experience with the Advantix F620.My favorite feature is it prints the date on the back of each photo.The zoom is awesome, and it has an auto shut-off if you forget and leave the camera on.

Good
I got this camera on sale so especially for the price I paid I feel like it's a great little camera. The picture quality is generally good, and it has quite a few features and it's user-friendly in every way. The only thing that it has done to bother me is get a little fuzzy on long-distance shots when you're using the zoom (w/o the zoom they're clear and close up zoom shots are very clear). But a higher speed film (at least 400) seems to minimize that problem. I am looking for a new camera b/c I want a more powerful zoom, but I will continue using this one as well, especially outdoors, for the panoramic mode.

Annoying delay
Do not try to capture things that move - like kids.You push the button at the perfect moment and the camara takes the picture at least a full second afterwards.By that time the perfect moment is gone.I have so many pictures of my kids looking away because of this.Don't waste your money.This camara is terribly flawed! ...

Canon Elph 370Z
Small camera, very slimlined and easy to carry.I purchased refurbished and everything is working perfectly. I only wish the zoom was a little stronger, but overall an excellent camera.

Great camera but beware of the "H"!
I bought this camera a little over 3 years ago when I was expecting my first baby.As you can imagine, I have taken a bunch of photos since then.This camera is easy to use and takes beautiful photographs.
This camera is well worth repairing
I bought the Canon Elph 370Z in 2000. After 3 years of heavy use the camera had to go in for servicing last summer because an error message (H) had appeared in the LED.The cost for repairs was about 1/3 of the original price.Several months later the same thing reoccurred and Canon fixed it free of charge.This is the first camera that I've ever had repaired.All my previous cameras have also eventually broke down from use. But this is the only one that I liked enough to have fixed.Photo quality is excellent considering the size of the camera, plus the convenience of APS. The quality of the camera is very good, too. ...

Great camera, poor pic quality w/ Kodak film
I've switched over to a Canon digi-cam, but I used the Elph 2 for a couple of years.During those years, pictures taken on on the Elph 2, just never turned out right.They were either grainy, suffered from color saturation, red-eye, you name it.That is until I discovered the magic of Fuji film.I had up until that time used Kodak Avantix APS film exclusively, believing that paying more meant better quality.Wrong!Fuji film is not only much cheaper, but my prints were awesome in every way possible.In fact, my last set of photos were taken on the streets of Las Vegas during the late-night hours, plus lots of indoor pictures in a dimly lit room with the shades drawn...but every picture turned out, if you will, picture perfect.I can't bash Kodak, because it's the only film I've ever used, and bottom line, it's the best.But when it comes to the Canon Elph 2, you should switch to Fuji film.I guarantee, you'll see the difference.

Best Point and Shoot on Market
I bought this camera 3 1/2 years ago to take with me when I moved to Germany.It's small enough to fit in your jeans pocket, but makes cleaner and better quality prints than I've seen in a point and shoot camera.It was very durable and lasted several years of use overseas, and I'm still enjoying its compact size and light weight here in the states.If you are in any way intimidated by the digital camera age, and would like a small, versatile APS camera, this is it!

This is a GREAT Little Camera!
I have owned this camera for about 3 years, and am still surprised in the quality of photographs I get from it! We recently returned from Maui, where a photo can make or break a beautiful memory. Most, if not all, of our photos from this trip are frameable, they are SO beautifully crisp and clear! It does a great job in any of the three modes it offers. The film loads and unloads easier than any camera I've ever operated, and the flash is automatic, so you don't even have to think about it.Read more

handy little compact 35mm
I picked out this camera for someone who wanted something small that uses 'film'This camera uses 35mm film but is as small as many advantix cameras.It takes nice clear pictures and is very easy to learn to use.

Great all purpose camera
The thing I love about this camera it is small enough to take everywhere... therefore you end up taking a lot more pictures.If we have friends in town, or we are tailgating, or we go to a party, we inevitably bring this camera along because it is so unintrusive ... it fits in my pocket no problem.Notwithstanding it size, it takes as good of pictures as any SLR (granted not quite as versatile).

Finally--an underwater camera that's small enough to take anywhere, yet advanced enough to give you high-quality results with easy operation. The Canon Elph Sport camera integrates Elph's crowd-pleasing Advanced Photo System ease of use and portability with a sporty waterproof body. Not only does it take pictures on land at the touch of a button, but it is submersible to 16.4 feet for underwater photography. It's a good bet for vacations, since you don't have to lug around a separate, clunky underwater camera in addition to your point-and-shoot. The Elph Sport easily fills both roles, offering signature Canon quality along with special features designed to make underwater shooting easier.Read more

Great camera if you can still find one!
I received this camerera as a prize and would recommend it to anyone.We use this camera as our primary camera for everything!I took it in with me when my daughter was born, snorkeling, fishing, hiking and I have now handed it to my now toddler.If you have had a toddler, they can break anything with the exception of this ELPH SPORT.I have had this camera for 4 years and have nothing but good things to say!

Good camera, good value.
My camera has really stood up to the elements and multiple beatings.It has worked well for me taking pictures underwater and in the surf, and has also been to the top of multiple 20,000+ feet mountains.Dropped countless times on rock, snow, sand, and also dunked as much into water.I have learned to force the flash on anything but super sunny days - the pics come out a bit dark in conditions other cameras would have no problem with, and i've found it could really use a filter in intense light situations.Nothing you wouldn't expect from a specialty use camera.Just bought a second spare one for when the first one finally does give up - which i don't think will be for a long time. Ultimate Combination of Features and Quality
If you are considering buying an APS camera, then you should look no further. Note, however, that APS film is a bit more expensive than regular 35mm film, but it is much more versatile (standard Normal, Group, and Panoramic modes, etc). The reason why this camera so great is most obviously its design. The case is waterproof as well as shockproof. After taking it with me hiking, I tripped three times, each time with the camera in my hand (in its little case), and showed no signs of damage, and still worked great underwater. For me, this is great, as I usually end up losing things in my messy room, and hence they usually get banged around. This camera is durable, and therefore there is no worry. Its waterproofing is great feature, as I am constantly taking pictures on my boat, at the beach, or outside where there is always the chance of rain. You don't have to worry about keeping your camera dry, nor does it become a problem if you leave you bag with the camera in it someplace where it might accidentally get wet. The design is extremely easy to use, and the pictures are great (use 400 speed film, its the most versatile). The only bad thing is that you have to fairly responsible about cleaning the camera after salt-water use. Now, I have never done this, and the camera still works fine. Furthermore, this thing is tiny, suprisingly smaller than the most compact 35mm's. You'll be suprised at how small it is (it's not too small though). It also has bumps on the back to help you grip the camera with one hand. To anyone who is concerned about zoom, on most compact camera, APS or 35mm, they barely make that much of a difference. And to anyone considering going digital, I say just get a scanner. Your picture quality will be much better. Recommended without reservation. Its the kind of camera you can just throw in your bag and never have to worry about. One last thing, when you first put it underwater, you will see bubbles coming out. I was concerned, but found out it was just air on the outside of the waterproofing. ... Read more

It was great until it broke
Given, it had a hard life with my daughter on the road with Drum and Bugle corp.But it did the same thing as several people remarked about on several different models:it was working and then it broke for no reason.You think it's batteries, but with brand new batteries no go.I'm wondering if I should even buy another Advantix.This problem seems to cover more than one model.

A little Gem of a Camera
I bought one of these little APS cameras on a whim right after Christmas about 2 years ago when the price was reduced ... I was having lots of trouble with my fancy and expensive Nikon Nuvis 120i APS so I needed another camera for all the APS film that I had. The ... Nikon took terrible pictures and I figured this camera had to do a little bit better. Boy, was I wrong! It takes great pictures! I carried it all over Europe last summer in my pants pocket while I watched other photographers lugging around their thousand dollar SLR's. No one ever knew I had a camera 'till I pulled it out, flipped up the lens cover (which doubles as a flash) and started snapping away. About the only feature it doesn't have is a zoom lens (which I would rarely use anyway). Good camera at first.. before it broke.
I've had this camera for about a year and a half. After less than a year, I began to have problems. First of all, it would overwind the film to where the film would read "developed" when it had just come out of the camera. This created problems for the developing center because they thought I had already developed the film. So, I just lived with this problem for a while since I was still able to develop the film.

Great little camera for things that will stay still
I have had this model for about 2 years now. I upgraded from another Kodak Advantix that I loved but took an unfortunate fall to the sidewalk. The F600 has some nice features and it is ready to travel. The pictures are crisp and clear. The only downfall I have come across is I have two small kids that I take most of my pictures of. The auto-focus feature seems to take forever to adjust. I will hold the button for several seconds sometimes before it will take the shot. Seconds don't seem like much, but when your subject matter is a 3 and 5 year old it's the difference in losing your shot. This has happened enough times now that I am trying to find something like my older cheaper Advantix to take it's place. If you are using this for scenery or adults that are willing to sit still than it is a great camera and a pretty good bargain.

Great Camera!
I really love this camera!It's light and easy to use.The only thing is it's kinda loud after you click and when you finish the film.Otherwise, if you're an amateur get this!!!

Excelent Camera !
I bought this camera a year ago and i wonder with it. It�s ease to use, small and light. The pics are in a very good quality and it has a nice Zoom. the only thing that i dislike it, is that you can not change films partialy used, i mean if you change a film that is not complete and you want to use it again in order to finish it, you can�t. ...

Mediocre deal at best
It is an alright camera. Not exactly worth the price since I do believe the Elph LT is more worth it and its cheaper. Pretty much similar functions. If you are looking for an entry level nice looking camera, this or the Elph would fit your bill. Don't expect too much from its features. ... Read more

This is the greatest for the price.I have taken pictures of my son dancing and they are extreme clear...I was so glad when they added the zoom feature to the camera. The digital is a lot of work for me.This is great.Fuji film is also great for people of color.
A good camera and good price
Excelent picture,low quality in dark places.Only one kind of photos,Its nice dising and very good funtions.
Fuji Q1 Zoom lacks Negative size selection
This is a 'beautiful' design and takes reasonably good pics. (It IS a point & shoot) but unlike all other APS cameras, it only takes pics in the "C" mode (the traditional size prints) NOT in the "H" mode (slightly wider) or the Panoramic. Why Fuji left this choice off Boggles the mind. The main reason I use APS is for the "H" size prints. I'm dissapointed this feature was left off.Read more

Editorial Review

The Olympus I Zoom 75's sleek, lightweight form, zoom lens, and splashproof construction make it an ideal camera for travelers who want the advantages of the Advanced Photo System in a quality package. The compact 75 is protected in a splashproof metallic-looking cover, and sports a slimmer version of the Olympus signature sliding-clamshell case, allowing this model to fit easily in to a pocket. The only disadvantage to this camera's compactness is that the self-timer and flash buttons are a little hard to press since they're so small. The Olympus I Zoom 75's multi-autofocus system helps produce the best photos possible--we found the camera did a good job of focusing even when our subject wasn't dead center. The flash gave us a choice of auto, red-eye reduction, fill-flash, night scene, and off modes. The night-scene mode allows you to sync the flash with a slow shutter speed so that you can take portraits with a night scene in the background. The zoom lens--a bonus on such a compact camera--has a 28 to 75mm equivalent range, good for everything from wide-angle landscapes, to portraits and medium close-ups.Read more

Good Camera, but uses APS Film and reliabiliity in Question
Overall, if you want an APS camera, this one would be good.However, APS film is more expensive to buy and more expensive to develope (slightly), so I would look into a compact 35MM camera also.My camera performed well, but after a few years, the film slot won't open (jambed or something) , so I have abandoned it with a full role of film in it.Not worth fixing it.

Highly Reccomnded
This is and excellent camera. I highly recommend it for people you like to take pictures. You get sharp clear pictures

Poor Reliability
I bought this camera 2 years ago because of its compact size, APS features and the Olympus reputation. It does take good photos, and has almost every auto feature one could ask for. However my camera has experienced very poor reliablity and excessive use of batteries, compared to other autofocus cameras I have owned (Canon Elph, Pentax IQZoom, Canon Telemax). Without much hard handling or outdoor use, it has been serviced twice (defective lens cover/on-off switch, and shutter button failed). The red-eye feature results in excessive flash lamp discharge, and makes it hard to pose subjects, and uses batteries faster. Olympus factory service for each non-warranty incident is $$. Needeless to say, I didn't have it repaired the second time. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The Advanced Photo System (APS) has inspired new levels of innovation in the point-and-shoot camera category. Though late to the game in bringing APS cameras to market, Olympus more than makes up for its tardiness with the Newpic Zoom 90. What really sets APS cameras apart from their 35mm cousins is ease of use. And the Newpic Zoom 90 is one of the easiest APS point-and-shoot cameras around.The camera has a 30-90mm zoom lens (equivalent to a 38-115mm lens in the 35mm format) with an active autofocus system; the focus lock lets you zero in on subjects that are outside the autofocus range. The Newpic Zoom 90 has six flash modes, including red-eye reduction and fill. As with most APS cameras, film loading is practically idiot-proof and pictures can be formatted in three sizes: Classic (C--4 inches by 6 inches); HDTV (H--4 inches by 7 inches), and Panoramic (P--3.5 inches by 10 inches). The Newpic Zoom 90 includes a self-timer, a diopter viewfinder adjustment, which is important to those who are nearsighted or farsighted, and a time-date stamp function. Straightforward and easy to use, the Newpic Zoom 90 is a great way to get started in APS photography. Read more

Newpic 90 does the job!
This is a great camera for beginners and shutterbugs who don't have the patience to deal with professional photographic equipment.The APS features are fantastic giving you the ability to capture the entire Harbor Bridge on panoramic, and change film instantly while hanging from a ski lift without concern for film exposure or proper placement inside the camera casing.Its zoom lens is quite long compared to other cameras of the same type and price range.My pictures have always come out clear and crisp.Its also very durable and the rubber grip on the side makes it easy to hold unlike other all metal casing cameras.I have even dropped it in a waterfall, and although it is not waterproof and I wouldn't suggest doing it, the camera still worked after the water drained out of it.If you can still get your hands on one of these cameras, go for it!

Great Camera, Glad I bought it
Very nice camera, good quality and a good price. Pick up a cheap APS book for some pointers and don't forget the batteries -- not included :-( ... Read more

Poor quality camera
I bought two of these cameras as gifts. Picture quality was ok...not great clarity but good color. Good for birthday party snapshots. After a few months, the sliding door stopped working on one of them. And shortly after the warranty expired (1 year) the other camera stopped working. Olympus phone service and Web site offered no help except to suggest that the only way to get it repaired was to mail it to them. For the price of $75.00 they would fix it. As the camera cost me $92.00, I'll just toss it in the trash. And NEVER buy an Olympus camera again!! That's my product review.

Great Camera!
Let me say I'm a bit of a camera freak so I have had many different cameras and have researched them. This is a great camera! I wouldn't consider it "ultra-compact" given what's on the market these days (I would consider it fairly average), but I have not been disappointed with the outcome of my pictures taken with this camera. Just make sure the camera is able to focus. I took it to Hawaii and it took great pictures with or without flash! I took pictures in the evening, from inside a submarine, at night, inside, outside,... just about everywhere in every type of situation! I hardly made any adjustments and it took beautiful pictures! The shake sensor.. you have to set the camera to that mode in order to use it and i believe it doesn't stay activated after you've taken a picture. I find myself having to reactivate that feature every time I want to take a picture using it. However, I rarely use it. As far as I can tell, the sensor only really works if the camera is shaking pretty hard, but maybe the camera is just that good and will only really take a bad shot if you're in a really shaky situation. For being an all-weather designed camera, I think it would've been better if it were made of metal like the all-weather Stylus Select 105. ... Read more
