I am so disappointed in this camera. I have always bought Sony Cybershots, but read the reviews on both the Olympus and Sony and decided to try the Olympus. Big mistake (actually, big costly mistake!) One of the reviews I read said that whenever they shot video, there was a knocking noise that came through. I figured that it was a defective camera for that person. Wrong. There is a loud knocking noise on every video that is distracting and makes it difficult to hear anything else. Also, every photo I shoot outside that involves ANY level of sunlight results in a big white glare in the picture. There are several different settings for action, landscape, etc. But navigating through the menu to find them is impossible. I was at a soccer game trying to take pictures of my son and missed most of the game trying to find the action setting. I found it once by accident, then switched off the camera to save the battery. When I turned it back on, I was back at normal shooting and never did find the action setting again. I just wanted a simple good quality camera to take decent shots at home and away of kids and family. Almost every photo is blurry or has a big white glare. I have been reduced to "swiping" my children's Sony Cybershots anytime I want to get a good picture. Look for this almost new camera on Ebay!

This is a great camera. The color of the camera is darker than it looks on the computer. It only holds like 10 pictures when you first get it, so you will have to buy a bigger memory card. It takes awesome pictures, and can adjust to different settings like "Behind Glass" and "Fireworks". I recommended this camera to everyone. (on behalf of my daughter).
