I bought this camera as I had started an online business selling products and needed to be able to take clear, professional-quality product photos. The Olympus MJU 800 did not disappoint! As an 8 mega pixel camera, the picture quality is excellent and the camera has a range of built-in pre-defined "scenes" for shooting under different conditions (examples include: landscape, portrait, night shot, sport, indoor etc.). The sport setting is particularly useful if, like me, you want to take photos of your children running and jumping in the garden! The sport setting allows you to produce clear, focused shots, even when your subject is moving. If you prefer to make manual adjustments, you can easily adjust exposure, ISO and similar settings, with an easy macro and super macro setting for close up shots, and a handy LCD screen for adjusting settings and viewing the pictures you've taken. But the pre-set shooting modes mentioned previously really do make it so easy to take excellent pictures without having to worry about adjusting exposure etc. I've used this camera for about 4 years now and I've never had any issues with it whatsoever - and I've never felt the need to look for a "better" camera!
