I am a big fan of cameras from Olympus. Their quality and features are exceptional and the value for your dollar is outstanding. I was using a similar older model Olympus and it was time for a new camera. The big plus of this camera is its size. It can easily fit in a shirt or pants pocket. It's easy to use and is loaded with lots of features. This is really an ideal camera for someone who wants and good quality, easy to use and easy to carry around camera. Perfect for family outings, vacation etc.,.I am pleased withall aspects of this camera. Of course, this probably would not be the best camera for someone who is serious about photography. You'd want a higher grade camera if you want more control over your images, but I recommend this camera for someone who wants a great camera for normal every day use. The price was so reasonable and I bought a better camera for trips and will use this Olympus for routine pictures. It is so absolutely convenient to be able to have a great quality camera that fits in your pocket
