basic

Hey guys, I just got my Olympus camera today. I have already used my 24 exp. film (that came w/ it) out of excitement. This camera is everything I expected and more! I think this camera would make an awesome gift for either yourself or for a loved one. I really love this camera!

To the people who gave this camera one star or less, listen up! Don't ever think it's the camera's fault your pictures come out crappy, I have this exact same camera and my pictures come out great! The pictures come out crappy because of the film developers or YOU didn't take the pictures correctly.

that's what I would give this camera! I bought this before my son was born, thinking I could get good pictures quickly to capture those moments. After several ruined rolls of film, I am searching for a new camera and this one has already made it to the Dumpster. Pictures came out fuzzy and out of focus, even when at the range it says the camera can handle (close-ups are pretty much non-existant). Fill flash is the lousiest I've ever seen and leaves foreground over-exposed while the background is pitch black. You must push the shutter button halfway down to *compose* your shot and then take it, which is stupid and not something everyone is used to, thus meaning terrible pictures if someone else uses your camera. The only feature I liked was the date stamp, which you can get on just about every point and shoot out there. Total waste of time and money.
