 Excellent for the money December 22, 2008
Sounds like some people have models that drain batteries severely, but most digital cameras are rough on Alkaline AA's. I got it cheap and took it to the bar last night and was happy. I went through about 75 shots and had to change batteries, that is good enough for me. It holds around 450 pictures with a 1G XD card. It has features that cannot be beat with all the shooting modes. So far the only setting that loses its' preference when the power is off is the flash mode (auto flash, red-eye, constant, or off). For the money, this is a good entry lever camera.
Gave it as a gift and they seem to like it. December 16, 2008
Don't really have much to say about it since I am not using it but the price was good and the features were right. I can tell you to not put cheap batterys in it but other than that it works fine.
 What battery life ? December 14, 2008
I bought this camera back in May of 2008 to upgrade from an OLD bulky Fuji that was only a 2 Megapixel & a 3x zoom but still took great pictures. It seems right after I bought this model, the poor battery life reviews started to come in, & if I knew this I never would have bought it. Several times I've gotten the no battery warnig on the screen where the camera locks up, & hopefully if I wait a few minutes the batteries gain a little charge so I can take a picture or two before it dies again. Carrying extra batteries was a MUST. ( But should be not necessary )
I won't itemize all the concerns, ( soft focus, reset of settings each time it powers up, etc.) as there's a good review on the main page. But as an old 35mm SLR user, I'm used to an optical viewfinder, & just using the screen resulted in too many cut off heads & legs because of the times the screen washed out from bright light & then guessing.
I just purchased a Fuji S1000fd & one of the reasons..........
besides the screen, OPTICAL VIEWFINDER !
Brand new & would not focus. December 9, 2008
We got this camera right before we moved overseas. We threw away the box and could not find the receipt in the confusion of moving. We never got to print or upload any photos because the camera would not focus. Now we are stuck and have to send it off and PAY for it to be fixed. Plus, we have to deal with all the hassle in doing so since we don't live in the US. Who knows how long that will take. So, I went ahead and got my daughter a new camera - NIKON. We also have a CANON and love it. Wont buy an Olympus again!!!
 Battery life is no good December 6, 2008
I've had one of these for 4 months now and I want to echo the negative comments here about the battery life as it sucks. It's amazing how little it lasts. Everything else is OK... I get plenty of blurry one's, but that may be me as I've had that issue with all my digital cams. Also, there is no small view finder, only the big one, but that's not really an issue for me as I'm just amateur with photos and only use that one anyway.
Just how bad is the battery life? With my brand new rechargeables, we're talking about 5 - 10 photos! With normal alkalines, it varies... I've gotten nearly 100 but also a lot less. I didn't actually try nickle cads because it came with alkakines and I happen to (fortunately)currently have a big pile of them. I reckon that pile will quickly diminish the more I use my camera.
Otherwise, however, a pretty good camera, especially for the price.
