What's great about it:?easy to use and work What's not so great:?color quality on pictures is not vivid "I really love Olympus cameras and had one previous to this purchase. This is why I wanted another Olympus. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Easy to use "I bought the camera in May 2008 and it is still great. The only drawback is you cannot backup from the Olympus program onto a disc. So when I transferred to another program, I thought I was copying but they completely transferred out of the Olympus program which was great for emailing and viewing, but now they are gone. from Bestbuy.com ConsPicture quality is sub par compared to Canon Powershot series. Image stability poor, night shots to dark, and close ups out of focus. Optional Olympus case very poorly made, no sense of security for camera. Additional ThoughtsI thought the features would have been nicer but not happy with results I've owned several Canons and all are way better picture quality and features are way better. from Dell.com I have better cameras then than the Olympus 570 UZ, I take pictures at concerts and Talent shows and I get a bad rating with the 570 and now it sits in the closet. The quality of this Camera can't compare with the other 2 cameras I have . from Circuitcity.com Additional ThoughtsYou can always find AA Batteries. Might be a little more expensive than proprietary in the long run, but for me convenience is worth it. My last camera was an Olympus Camedia C4040. While I was tempted to go with the big names (Nikon/Cannon), the quality of pics from my C4040 convinced me to stay with Olympus. from Dell.com upgraded from an olympus sp 550 uz. they seem to have worked out all the bugs.you can purchase a 1.7 X telephoto lense from olympus online. from Circuitcity.com I have had an Olympus Point and shoot with the 10x Zoom for 15 years. I get the new model ever couple years. from Circuitcity.com Pros: Live View, Dust Reduction and Flip Out Screen Cons: Other newer Olympus Models Available Cheaper "You have pay double to get these features on another brand and Olympus has the best lenses. As for the other review on this site both are positive but on says that lenses are hard to find? from Bestbuy.com Pros: small, 10 mega pixels, 7x zoom Cons: none yet "The olympus 1010 is an awesome camera. I broke my olympus 710 so upgraded. from Bestbuy.com I needed a big zoom to capture the action from far away. I own a Canon SLR and Canon compact camera which my wife uses for the kids. The pictures from the Olympus, in my opinion, were absolutely stunning and rich. I took a picture of Yankee Stadium at dusk and the camera captured all the shades of blue, purple and pink in the sky--it was as if I couldn't take a bad photo. from Circuitcity.com
