grizzl from PA Member Since: May 2008 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Weeks	Look at the expert reviews. Strengths: Features, image quality, size, lens choices. Weaknesses: None to date. Summary: All I have to say is click on the expert's reviews. This camera has been phenomenal. Think about having a camera that is the size of a compact camera, but gives you all the same abilities has a full size D-SLR. 100% of People (7/7) found this review helpful.

eDeals123 from MD Member Since: Oct 2007 View Member's: Reviews	Great low cost DSLR camera Strengths: Price, lightweight, small in size. Batteries last a long time. Weaknesses: None that I noticed. Summary: This is a great beginner DSLR camera. It uses both CompactFlash and xD memory cards. I don't see why anyone would use xD memory cards since their maximum capacity in 2GB compared to 4-8GB for CompactFlash. Although this camera has a live view feature I find myself rarely using it since it takes longer. It's still a nice feature to have if you need it. Also the LCD is 2.7" which is a nice size display. 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

scuts Member Since: May 2008 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Days	Move Along Strengths: Cheap, small Weaknesses: Lens selection is shallow, not sturdy, slow Summary: Why bother with this brand when there are so many nice Canons and Nikons? That is what I finally decided after buying this and trying it for a week. Olympus used to make great SLR's, but their Digital SLRs are so far behind the curve that you shouldn't bother. I stepped up to a new Rebel XSi and I love it. 6% of People (4/62) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

N/A Member Since: Product Experience: 2 Weeks	Pretty good Strengths: Great pics, uses compact flash(cheap), great beginner camera for the right price. Weaknesses: wish it used SD(cheaper still), Panaroma feature locked to XD cards only. Summary: I'm writing my review based on the fact that mine cost me $314 with the lens included. If i'd have to pay full price i'd still go with Canon no questions asked. But for the price I paid I think it's a really good camera. The images are really nice and for a beginner DSlr user...it's very good. The only thing i have to complain about it the fact that Olympus locks it's panaroma feature unless you are using a XD card. From what I read it's not a physical limitation...it's acutally just so people will buy their XD cards. But i have also read some documents on how other cards can unlock the panaroma feature by editing their profile file????. all in all it is really good camera if you can get it cheap. If not...go with canon...you can't go wrong with canon. 0% of People (0/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.
