Customer Review: Junk, stay away from this product

I purchased this product in July 2008 and have been trying to make it work ever since. I've got hundreds of vacation photos saved on the flash drive that I may never get to see. The camera refuses to communicate with any computer. Olympus tech support is only open during business hours when most of the world is at work which makes it useless to me. I've owned several Cannons in the past with no troubles. For some unknown reason I decided to give Olympus a try. Never again. I'll probably just throw it away having learned an expensive lesson:
NEVER BUY ANYTHING WITH OLYMPUS WRITTEN ON IT.
ps- I gave this product one star which it does not deserve however Amazon says you have to give it at least one star to submit a rating.

Customer Review: really good camera

The camera is better than i expected. Lot of options, good colors and good picture quality, especially in day light.It also take good pictures in the dark, but you have to be close to the subject. For a compact camera , it takes excellent pictures .
