Advantages: Easy to transfer pictures to computer, reliable

Disadvantages: Not much memory, video has no sound and only lasts a max of 16secs.

We have owned this olmpus camera for 2 years and not once has it had to be taken to any shop to be fixed or to find out how it works. The instructions are easy to understand and you'll be taking picture and movies in no time. They also include a remote control which is very useful as then you can be in the picture too but it is quite hard to align it so that you're all in without the use of a tripod.

There are a lot of options of how you want your picture to be some of which we have never used which may be a bit too much to choose from. The symbols to tell you what buttons does what are a bit unclear but we soon got used to them. The camera comes in a nice leather case that has a pocket for storing spare memory cards in which is handy and helps protect the camera should you drop it.

~Movies~

The movie option is a bit disapointing as you can only film for a maximum of 16 seconds and there is no sound although i know the camera was not designed for movies if they were going to include them at all they should have at least made them last for a fair amount of time and give it sound.

~Transfering images~

On this front the camera is very good it had a simple computer program that is very clear and gives you the option of making calenders, postcard etc with your photos.
Transfering the images is so easy i'm sure anyone could do it you just select the tranfer images from camera option and click tranfer and there you go, done! You can then go on to using your pictures as desktop backgrounds and screensavers, it is a really well thought out and desgined program.

~Overall~

I think that dispite the movie feature the camera performs well all round and we have had no problem using it and I think is a good camera to have if you have never owned a digital camera before.

Summary: Great camera, excellent computer program but should have a better movie feature.
