This is an ultra compact, very lightweight, and low spec digicam - it has no anti-shake system and has a CCD sensor that is very noisy already at 400asa and which has a limited dynamic range. At the time of launch this was the entry model for the Olympus range and sold as low as about $50USD in discount stores. So it isn't much good for acrion shots or low light images. Control over the camera is very limited, with no ability to control colour saturation, contrast or sharpening, for example. But - in good light or with flash on and set to "Party Scene Mode" it takes perfectly good pictures as long as you need only computer screen views or postcard prints. Its auto-function works well. It has a high speed function, shooting lots of low resolution images in a sequence until the memory card fills up. Now that function is fun, but without image stabilisation it has only limited use. If you want a child's camera for going on holiday but don't want to buy them a phone, this can be a good buy. In truth, pay up for a little bit more function on the camera (the higher Spec Olympus VG Models are good examples) and it will make for a lot more ability in use - hence my 3-star score. I bought one in 2022 for one of those cheap camera photo challenges; and challenge it is! Read full review

My old camera a Pentax was feeling old so I decided to look for a new one. I was on a tight budget so was really surprised when I saw this camera on sale in Argos. I read the reviews and everyone said what a lovely little camera it was for the price. I ordered it and it arrived in a couple of days and I was not disappointed. Takes sharp pictures and is so easy to use,I didn't need the instruction book. Battery life seems very good. Love the colour of it too. Can't think of anything negative to say about this snazzy little camera!
The camera was great and was exactly as described, but should have made it clearer that there was no battery charger with it, so had to buy this separately.

the camera looked pretty attractive and slick looks wise.Although having the inbuilt charger within the camera seems like a good idea.However i think that it has its draw backs.you cannot use the camera with another spare battery because you are using it to charge the current battery.But for the price of £40. You can't go wrong. I cannot comment on taking photos yet since ive not used it. For a quick take a picture and go. It looks ok.
