One of the best I've ever owned!Review created: 06/23/08(updated 07/01/08)

Let me start by saying this is the second Olympus camera I've owned. The first one was the the Stylus 800, it was "my baby" & sadly it was lost forever when a family member accidentally threw away the bag it was in.
So this time I went with the Stylus 1010 model, I love it! I can zoom in on the smallest of objects & get superb pics! And I bought it brand new at Sam's Club for a very reasonable price. It's small enough that I can put it in my purse, or my pocket and take it anywhere. It even takes very nice photos from far off in a dimly lit room, just set it to the "Available Light" setting and it uses the light in the room instead of the flash.
(Don't try this at home)
It can also take some harsh treatment. My 3yr old got hold of mine and decided she was going to wash it in the bath room sink. Now it wasn't just wet, mind you, it was SOAKED. It would not turn on, and I just died when I saw how much water dripped out of it! Well, after my crying fit, I removed the battery & XD card, and unscrewed the back panel and let it sit open on a paper towel for 2 days to dry. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it came right back to life once it was dry! I had fully expected it to be ruined forever!
Overall, it is a darn good camera.
Downfall - it's not waterproof (duh) and the underwater housing costs almost as much as the camera itself, however if you really want to take underwater pictures, you would probably spend a little more for one that didn't need a housing. I'm just fine with keeping mine high and dry and out of the reach of little hands!

pretty good-1 complaintReview created: 01/24/09

Just bought after Xmas...Bought package with xtra memory card, case, xtra battery, charger, card reader, claening kit, tirpod and so on. Up to this point not many complaints but I have not played with all the features. Small but not too small, good sized LCD screen, many features (hopefully many of them good ones), long battery life, 2 gb card holds like 800 pics in low setting, sharp picture on screen, card reader to download pics is very simple.
Only complaint to this point...I read on some reviews somewehere that people complained about "grainyness" (if that is word) on their pics when printed. When I installed their software and printed some pics from it, I did notice the "grainyness" (I am by no means a professional) as well. I then decided to try and print from my software program that I used from my older program and camera and it printed a better picture. So even though the software gives you many features, other program prints a better pic. So I use the olympus software to touch up and then save and then print from other program.
But then it could be something I am doing wrong...

Love It!!!!Review created: 01/09/09

I love that this camera is excellent quality and small enough to fit in my overfull duaper bag. We have an awesome Nikon camera that we use all the time but I wanted this camera so that I could take it with me everywhere I went with our new baby girl, since you never know when the most adorable thing is going to happen. Our Nikon is a professional camera and is heavy and pretty big and I just can't lug another bag with me everywhere, so this camera is perfect. I haven't printed any pics yet so I don't know about printed pic quality but they pics look great on teh camera and I am a horrible photographer. It also doesn't hurt that it is purple, my favorite color!!

Olympus Stylus 1010 Digital Camera3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
Lost a camera on a Halloween outing and looked for a replacement. Wanted a camera with 10 MP and fairly high lens mag. This camera met all the needs and then some. My with and I did have one difference, and that was I wanted a larger, SLR type. She won out and I am amased at the small, light build of this camera, yet the quality of it's photo product. We are extreemly impressed with the features and will never be able to master all the settings available for special effects. Need to have the book with ya to pre-set to capture special situations. (3 settings for different floresent lighting) It is best to simply set to auto and run. If you do get red eye, do a touch up and it's repaired.
For a point and shoot, with a quality result, this camera met and exceeded our needs. I would highly recommend to all who want a high quality, small pocket size camera.......

The size, 7x optical zoom, fast shutter speed, and variety of shooting modes on this camera are awesome. Before this I was using a Canon PowerShot A510, which is a great little camera, but the Olympus does so much more. The only thing that's somewhat of a con is that it doesn't have an optical viewfinder, which can be a bummer in some lighting conditions, however, it has yet to be an issue for me. I'm very impressed and very happy with this camera.

Takes great pictures and has a large viewing screen on back. Tons of options that will probably never get used. Does not eat batteries as it has its own charger and battery pack. Great quality and would recomend this to anyone wanting to take breathtaking pictures.

It's just perfect!Review created: 07/16/09

I must say my kids were not real happy with the Nikons they had so we searched for a replacement. I like this one so much I'll be buying 2 more. I spent weeks reading reviews and looking at feedback and honestly I did not take the time to venture out and see one before I bought.
The screen is huge and great for an old guy like me, even though my kids will be using it. The Auto focus is incredible and works great close up as well as far away. But what I really like about the camera is the lens! It brings far away right up close and the image stabilization makes a great picture too!
We do not take pictures as professionals here and a camera is a way to preserve memories. for us it needs to be portable and primate simple! I was concerned about alos needing to buy a different memory card from the Olympus than I had for teh Nikons. I am soooooo far over that concern now....
I took great pleasure in taking a hammer to the coolpix... And I'll be upgrading my 5 year old Olympus shortly as well. I've loved it and it was super reliable and that had a great deal to do with this purchase as well. It has many miles on it and never had to be returned for warranty service like the Nikon coolpix cameras we have/had...
Well this is week one and everyone in the house has had a turn to use it and we all like it a great deal!

Such an Awesome TransactionReview created: 05/31/09

I decided to buy this camera because my other one was outdated and broken. This is my first purchase of a new digital camera and I am so pleased with it. The shipping was free and was extremely fast and I couldn't beat that. Then when I received the camera it came exactly as it was described to me. I couldn't wait to open it and use it. Since I have had the camera I have used it everyday since then and I just love it and can't use it enough. I find things now to take pictures of. I have already use it for a variety of things. The camera is an Olympus Stylus 1010 10.1 Megapixel camera. I have to say that it's the best thing I have bought on E-Bay in a long time and compliments to the seller for selling such a great product. My only downfall is that is has so many features that I am still trying to use them all and understand what they all do. Overall it's an excellent camera and was an excellent purchase and awesome seller. Thank You. Oh this is my first review in 10 years of being on E-Bay so this says alot to everything.

Great Choice1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
7x optical zoom + image stabilizer = great candid shots. With the many scene choices there is a lot of flexibility with this camera. About the size of a credit card, it's easy to slip in the pocket/purse and handy all the time. I had the camera nearly 2 weeks before I had to recharge the battery. With the specialized adapter, I can use a 4GB micro SD card and get thousands of low resolution shots. I love the little camera, and will really get a lot of use out of it. Good choice for a slightly experienced photog.

Ok Camera I Guess.Review created: 04/25/09

pros-
nice design, great screen, high quality pictures
overall an excellent camera if all you want to do is take snapshots. if you are not trying for anything professional and dont care to learn advanced photo techniques like changing the iso or the exposure then really this is one of the best cameras out there.
cons-
can't customize settings, not very many settings to change in the first place. there are many picture options, the usual, indoor outdoor candlelight etc but they differ very little and really it doesn't matter if you pick them or not
moving pics wont come out right, whether you're in the sport preset or you change your own settings. i was trying to shoot slowly moving fish and all i got were streaks. most of their info call them intermediate cameras but i would call them a beginner's camera, however for a beginner i highly recommend.
