This review is from: Olympus Stylus 800 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical ZoomYes, I am another owner and unfortunately, I learned the ugly truth of this camera during my wedding (old camera died 2 days before).I would give this 5 stars or higher, but Olympus got extremely lazy on this one. Read on...In simple, point-n-shoot mode (camera icon on the wheel). It shoots 8 megapixel shots are absolutely the most fantastic pictures I've ever seen. Blown up to 8x10 and cropped, they look like they've come right off 35mm film. The colors are rich and vibrant. Simply amazing.However...In the 24 pre-programed "Scene" modes (e.g. Indoor, nightime, etc). this thing becomes a different beast altogether. Simply put, it shoots everything at 3 megapixel... max... and a really awful 3 megapixel at that.I checked with Olympus on this (twice) because I couldn't believe it. But they confessed that it shoots at 3 megapixel with heavy filters - which results in lots of "jaggies" and pictures that look WORSE than those shot on my 2 megapixel camera with no filtering.You're probably saying to yourself, "It can't be all that bad."Believe me, it is. They look like absolute junk when printed out on 4x6 paper... like something I shot with a cell phone or a child's toy. I cannot overestimate just how bad they look.Bottom line, if you are looking for a point and shoot camera, it is great. But don't count on ever using the 24 scene modes.
This review is from: Olympus Stylus 800 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical ZoomI purchased this camera for my rafting trip. I spent a week going down the Green River in Utah, and wanted a camera that could weather the outdoors. This camera turned out to be the best digital camera I have ever used.First, this camera produced great pictures. I shot nearly 400 pictures and had each printed out at 4 x 6 when I got home. The colors were terrific and the reproductions were vivid and sharp. The controls are intuitive and well placed. The autofocus worked very well. I often reached for the camera to capture a fleeting moment and was able to point and shoot in seconds. The LCD screen is big and bright and was easily seen in the brightest sun (I shot most pictures outdoors). The flash was handy and the fill flash really enhanced many of the shots.I also purchased 4 extra batteries for the trip. Interestingly, I hardly needed them. I changed the battery once at 200 shots, but I hadn't seen a low battery warning.Most importantly, the camera weathered the trip perfectly. I took shots from the raft, during the rapids and during the rain. The camera was soaked, yet functioned very well. Overall, this is an excellent camera. It is easy to use, takes great shots and weathers the storm. I printed out the manuel (all 200 pages) and was able to figure out how to use even the most advanced functions quickly. The 512 xD memory card was good for about 260 shots at the highest resolution. Transferring the images to my computer was a snap. This camera is good for both the novice and the advanced user. Right now, it is the best digital camera out there.
This review is from: Olympus Stylus 800 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical ZoomI switched my old Minolta Z1 with this amazing camera. My main criterias were good results in night shots and compact size with best optics.Stylus 800 didn't fail me in any of this criteria, contrariwise it provide me with even more functions I honoured by really snowy weather in Alps (it is water resistant) and with those Scene modes it's making even better pictures than I can manualy set.Pros:- great resolution (you can enlarge small point on the picture and can see what it realy is)- good autofocus indoor and by room-light- water resistance (no more stress from rain, waves or anything else)- heavy metal body- very fast 1st picture (lens go out in a wink)- large LCD with great resolution- very useful ISO 1600 function by evening scenes or fast moving scenes (only 3MPix, but thats enough for travelers like me) without "snow" on pictures- good flash distance for a compact- good battery lifetime (I can fill my 1GB card on 1 charge)Cons:- slow picture download to computer (USB 1.0 only - with my 1GB card it takes a while - about 15-20 min.)- slow video (only 15 frames ps) with only digital zoom during recording- flash recharging sometimes takes a while (about 5 sec)- leather bag delivered in accessory kit without pocket for second battery (where do you want to lose it again)- without "anti-red-eye" flash it makes almost always red eyes, bu...
