Rating: - Fun Basic Camera
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.
Rating: - Great camera for the money
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.

Also, when I compared the exact same picture taken on two different cameras (my Olympus Stylus vs. a friend's camera- not ... Read More
Rating: - Great camera for the beach!
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.
