After firmware upgrade, top class!

A very nice camera, good looking, you won't think it has a plastic body, as the look is very professional and stylish, which helps as it's much lighter to take photos with it compared to metal bodies cameras of its type. The resolution is very good, as good as the Olympus Stylus Mju 700/710 which hold the same 7.1 MP sensor, and the macro is just brilliant!, for very close shots indoor or outdoors. Battery life is a issue with this model, which could be seen as a total fault but if you download the last firmware upgrade from olympus webpage it solves the problem with the battery meter and definitely improves it, as well as using the recommended CRV3 rechargable battery it holds then a very good charge so you won't miss a shot when needed, but remmember never use AA alkaline batteries, only good rechargables ones as it needs lots of "fuel". Lots of features, more than the average olympus including fireworks, sunset, behing glass, auction, documents (almost as a scanner), and underwater modes with macro for the holiday fanatics (who isn't!). It takes a bit longer for certain shots according with the modes and features but in general a very good camera, worth the money for enthusiastics who just upgraded themselves from compacts. I always trust olympus for cameras, it's in general above the average market and offers a wide range of models perfect for everyone. Regards, Paola
