Bad camera:
I was looking for a 20X zoom and normally trust Olympus. Due to the many failings of this camera I don't believe it was designed by Olympus. Some, and just some, of the major defects: 1.Very short battery life (time to recharge) 2. No battery meter 3. Stabilizer poor 4.Plastic flash insert 5. Zoom in general, all features 6.

Amazing camera, perfect for a low-budget enthusiast.:
Pros: Amazing zoom (equivalent to 26-520mm), 10 mp, can alter with aperture and shutter speed, 13.5 fps sequential shooting, high ISO, large LCD, a lot of SLR-level features, zoom ring, comfortable to hold, excellent super macro, multi fireworks mode. Cons: xD memory card, can be very, very slow when using flash, has difficulty focusing at times, unpredictable with focus, small aperture range (predictable for a non-SLR, I suppose).

The coating further adds to the handling and inspires confidence. It seems sturdy and well built. I really like the zoom ring on the lens. The buttons are all well placed and easy to use on the... more info
