Great Camera

Ive had this puppy for about 3 months now and its great. Not sure what all the complaints are about blurry pictures because it has a feature called stabilization mode which prevents blurry pictures from taking place. There are over 20 different scene modes which allow you to adjust on the fly. I've been able to take pictures for landscapes, family photos, and goof around with it. Me and a friend were able to navigate the menus and take photos with one hand because the other hand was being used to ward off the other person from trying to take the camera. This is a fun and easy to use camera. Shutter speed is slow and if your taking pictures without the stabilization mode you need to hold the camera correctly and squeeze slowly for the shot. Being that its as small as you can get for a camera this isn't anything unexpected. Good bang for your buck.

Too slow

I bought this camera and ended up sending it back the next day. I need a camera just to capture family moments and I take lots of pictures of my 19 month old. The shutter speed was way too slow and I never was able to capture the moment as it happened. I had to hold down the button for a good 3 seconds before it took a picture. I know that does not sound like a long time but when your taking pics of a moving toddler it makes a huge difference. Also the software was a pain and there was no easy way to erase the memory card after transfering pics. I'm starting to think my old kodak was'nt so bad.

Olympus Camera

I previously owned a Olympus camera and this one just happened to be a updated version. My old camera stopped working one day and never came back on. So I purchased this one off of Amazon and I love it.

I LOVE IT!

I purchased this camera about two year ago and I'm still using it to this day. I compared it to some of the other brands and it was definitely my favorite. I take it everywhere I go and it is very durable. The quality of the pictures are great and it also records video with sound. It is also very user friendly and contains many features that can be used to help improve the quality of your pictures. If it matters, it's also stylish and comes in a variety of colors for those who like to be fashionable.

The only thing I don't like about the camera is that the battery is drained rather quickly. Overall this is a great camera and I am happy I purchased it. I love it and wouldn't trade it for any other!

1. Superb image quality with a high-resolution, 12 megapixel CCD. No worries about losing clarity or detail when making enlargements or when cropping.
2. Powerful 5x optical zoom brings you super close to the scene or the action without having to move at all.
3. The LCD Backlight Boost Button combined with a 2.7", High-Resolution LCD vastly improves your ability to effectively compose and share photos even in direct sunlight.
4. xD-Picture Card compatibility along with an optional adapter for microSD memory cards lets the X-42 enter new worlds of electronic storage.
5. Intelligent Auto + Shadow Adjustment Technology identifies the scene and adjusts the settings for picture perfect results every time.

Editorial Review :

The Olympus X-42 is loaded with features and functions that make taking pictures as creative as it is fun. A 5x optical zoom and AF Tracking merely head up the list of exciting advances on this full-featured camera. The camera automatically tracks the movements of energetic photo targets like kids and pets and continuously adjusts the focus and brightness to capture them sharply, with ease.

Very Satisfied Customer

I am not one that likes to "fiddle" with settings. I bought this because the description mentioned it would pick the right setting automatically. Yea, it does. I used it for two weeks straight through Christmas in all types of lighting, and was really surprised with the quality. This is a great camera for people that just want to point and shoot and let the camera do the work. It also has an excellent macro setting, very close to object.

Most camera phones are better...

We bought this camera as a temporary replacement when our much better camera was stolen while we were on vacation. This thing chews through batteries at an unbelievable rate. The picture quality is very poor, the focus does not work well at all, and most of the automatic functions have little or no effect on the photographic outcome.

I know it's cheap, but there's a good reason for that... stick with your cell phone's camera or spend a few extra bucks for something else.

Rating :

Nice but needs improvement

While the price and features of this camera are great, I've had a few problems with finding some of the features and mine burns the batteries after taking just a few pictures. I don't know if it's specific to just my camera or if others are experiencing this problem as well. I've contacted Olympus so I will reserve further judgment until after I hear from them.

This model aka X-21 (does anyone know this?)

Puns intended--searching the product as printed on the box and camera is scarce on the Google pole. My original review below follows the first line (update, in a way). You'll have to look on the Master 2 software CD-ROM to find out this camera is in fact the FE-26/X-21. Having found that out, please disregard some of the following, but if you want to read forward, imagine what if you just received the X-21 and wanted to look at the reviews before opening the package, or you didn't like the results and wanted to find out what others have to say? To confuse or not to confuse...

I can't find any information on the Olympus X-21 (when you type that in Amazon's search box, it comes up with irrelevant items), but after some searching on Amazon, this FE-26 model perfectly matches the model and features. Perhaps European models of any given camera will confuse Americans, right? I have noticed this with another camera (apple to orange), the Samsung HZ25W (America)/WB5000 (Europe) (in the aspect of confusion so you can't find what you want).

Why don't I like this camera? Before I explain, for under $100, it is very good, but cannot be compared to a far better model such as a $400 Panasonic Lumix.

I received this as a gift for community activities where I live, and am very grateful for the person who sent it to me (but I must be honest and realistic about the quality of a product--I feel it's the right thing to do). Just tested it out and found (even the screen will tell you) that, if you look closely, the image quality indoors and out (regardless of lighting) is very crude, and the Image Stabilizer is highly ineffective. I think this is a problem with Olympus compacts, because a friend of mine has an older 8 megapixel that takes blurry photos in any light. Why so? Its CCD sensor is very small, the main issue, I guess.

What had me flabbergasted was the X-21 takes only 10 or 11 seconds of VGA-quality video (isn't that bad compared to some higher-end compacts, actually--its quality in low light outdoors is fine, but very noisy indoors, as with the photos). There is no sound in the clips because there isn't a microphone--not even a speaker. Given that almost every digital camera nowadays records movies with sound, at least in mono. True, it was common for digital cameras over five years ago that could shoot only 15 or 30 seconds of video, and this camera is well below that standard alone--reminiscent of digital cameras turn of the millennium. I don't recommend this camera at all. In fact, I wouldn't ever buy an Olympus camera. Sorry if I sound too harsh, but this had me quite stymied at the time of this review.

Not that I don't know what I'm talking about--at least if you could find anything about X-21, someone else that might know something differently about this model could find something inaccurate. One site does have this model, but appears it was discontinued, right? What X-21 seems to me is a prototype that was renamed to FE-26 (the closest guess I'd make, really). By the way, the X-21 in question is black, if that helps any. If you want a better camera under $100, try a different brand.

Three stars for its limitations that fall in its price range, and for a model name that very few results for it appear in Google Search.

Editorial Review :

The Olympus FE-26 not only puts the fun back into everyday photography, but also focuses more attention on achieving the best results-no matter what your level of photographic skill. Intelligent Auto + Shadow Adjustment Technology, AF Tracking and many other great features put picture-taking magic right in your hands. The camera automatically tracks the movements of frequently-moving subjects-kids and pets, for instance-and continuously adjusts the focus and brightness so that they're captured clearly and sharply with ease.

FE-26 12 mp camera (only in "Name")

It's pretty grainy, even at higher resolutions, this camera carries out its functions pretty poorly, but for the price?... I would'n buy it again (never, ever or so). I'm not a pro, but maybe a prosumer.

La imagen de esta cámara es muy pixelada, hasta en máxima resolución, incluso con abundante luz, las funciones y el menú son muy básicos, aun con el precio tan bajo no me gusta, no la volvería a comprar nunca, y creo que no compraría ningún otro modelo point & shot de olympus. Aunque no soy fotógrafo profesional mi trabajo esta basado en tomar fotos (y publicarlas) y se lo que digo.

Good for kids

I bought this camera for my 12 year old son. It is perfect for him. It very light weight, most of the exterior is plastic. Pictures are decent and it's easy to use. Although I would not buy it for my primary camera,it would serve nicely as a back up camera. For the price I paid I would buy it again.

FIND ANOTHER CAMERA! You have been warned!

So where should I start? Sloppy, cheap outer plastic that is more suited to a kid's toy camera. And the picture quality if just horrible, just horrible. It's pretty grainy, even at higher resolutions, and the AF/stabilizing features on the camera are just gimmicky. They don't work at all. Basically this camera carries out its functions pretty poorly. Just don't buy, it's just horrible. Even if you're looking for an introductory camera. You have been warned.

OLYMPUS STYLUS 1010 BLACK DIGITAL

Customer Review :

Very disappointing

I had high hopes for this camera. It was the first we could find with a 10X zoom, which we needed for sports shots. Unfortunately pictures come out extremely blurry when the zoom is used to the fullest. When flash is used, pictures become washed out. When flash is turned off, pictures are dark. I also tend to use the record feature but recorded images are choppy, not a smooth stream that I want in a video. Battery life is good but that is the only good thing about this camera. I actually went back to my old Canon Powershot Elph.

Don't waste your money...

I have used Olympus cameras my whole life and have not had the issues that I have with this camera. After one year it went freaky - making the pictures over saturated with red & purple lines after a few seconds of being on. I now have to send it to their repair center for evaluation. It better not cost me a penny, since it seems to be an issue with the picture program function in the camera.

Olympus always made quality products, but lately it seems they are dropping the quality ball. It seems they are trying to add to many frills without the quality to back it up.

Look Elsewhere - Wish I Had

I bought this to replace another Olympus in fall 2008. I've hated it ever since. It takes one good picture for every ten fuzzy pictures - not good when you're trying to capture something fast or when you get home and look at it on the computer and realize you didn't get anything. While it is nice it has the adapter to take the microSD cards - some of the camera features don't work with it (like the panoramic feature). Every single time I use it, I state at least once that I HATE it. Can't think of one thing it has taken a consistent picture of if you take more than one.

Most trusty little digital cam I ever had.

I travel a lot and despite having a nicer SLR, I love portability. If I can fit it into a clutch handbag, it's my new best friend. I've been through a lot of these little digitals, most of them HP which I would NEVER recommend. This camera has truly been the most portable. It's stood up to all the bumps of getting out of taxis, being stuffed under the seat on planes, being turned on and off over and over because I keep seeing something else I love while on the road. Also you won't find these features with most digital cameras of the same cost. I can do a panorama, combined in camera, in 15 seconds and it looks beautiful. Image stabilization is a dream. The super-macro setting looks professional.

A to Z guarantee worked great

This used camera from an Amazon partner came broken. It did not say that when I ordered it. The seller did not respond when I contacted them, but Amazon returned my money through the A to Z guarantee program. If it hadn't been for that I would have been out for the purchase price of $35.
