Score 9.0/10+ The camera is easy to use, a very good size and slim enough to fit in a hand bag. It also looks good and the manufacturer has a good name in the photography industry.
- Have not found any yet although it would be good to have a case designed for this particular camera.

Score 10.0/10+ Really easy to use - set up was quick and straightforward
- Now that I've bought it, would rather of had a more x optical zoom, but that was just lack of research on my part!

Rachel, Lee on the Solent
Score 10.0/10+ Really easy to use, long battery life and really good quality pictures.
- The camera seems to show full battery even when it is running low so it is hard to tell when it needs charging. However it has long battery life so just charge it when youve finished using it.

Catherine, Newcastle-upon-Tyne , “I'm no Mario Testino!”
Score 10.0/10+ The camers is extremely easy to use. I haven't even had to refer to the instruction booklet yet. Olympus has kept the way the camers functions similar to previous models, so getting a newer camera doesn't mean learning a new way of operating it. This makes life so much easier. The camera is suitable for simple snapshots, or for taking more detailed photographs.
- The buttons on the camera are very small, so care must be taken not to hit the wrong one. But considering the camera's size (and the sizes of similar models from other manufacturers) this would be expected.

Manufacturer's Description
Face Detection tracks your subjects’ faces within the frame and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.
With high ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds, Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) allows you to freeze the action and capture sharp, blur-free images. DIS Edit gives you the option of fixing blurry images right in the camera.
Capture every spontaneous smile! The camera tracks your subject’s face to detect a smile and automatically fires off three consecutive shots so you never miss that perfect smile.
Use Perfect Fix to instantly correct your shots. With the touch of a button, lighten shadows, remove red-eye and eliminate blur, so your less-than-perfect shots can still turn out just as you planned.
Always get the best shot with 19 Shooting Modes. The preset Shooting Modes optimize your camera’s settings for sharp, brilliant photos. Modes include Portrait, Sunset, Night Scene, Sports, Landscape and many more.
An amazingly slim, all-metal camera that’s slightly over a 1/2-inch thick. Fits practically anywhere so you can capture memories wherever you go.
Using a live, multi-frame window on the LCD, Perfect Shot Preview lets you see the effects of various settings before you shoot, so you can always capture the perfect shot.
Get superior image quality with a high-resolution 8-megapixel CCD. Make large prints, or even crop, without losing detail.
The 3x optical zoom delivers sharp, clear images and brings you closer to the action without taking a step.
The large 2.7", high-resolution LCD provides easy shooting and sharing of your images with friends and family.
Capture and share your fondest memories in full motion using AVI Movie with sound.
Now you can really turn a frown upside down! This fun feature uses Face Detection technology, post shot, to find a subject’s face and modify their facial expression. Four different expressions can be previewed in a multi-frame window on the LCD, and users can select their favorite or the funniest expression at the touch of a button.
Developed for the professional Digital SLR, this new image processor delivers superior images with true-to-life color, sharper detail, and less noise.
