Olympus Stylus 710 7.1 Megapixel

This is the second one of these I have bought. Easy to use, battery life is good and it feels good in your hand. Put a 1 gig card in it and snap pictures for a long long time. Be sure and use it with the setting for using it in your hands or it will take blurry pictures since you are not standing completely still when you have it in your hands. I haven't used the video recorder, probably won't ever so I don't know much about that. The screens are easy to get thru and setup the camera the way you want it to be setup for your use. I like this camera and I think it will be a good investment for quite a while. The small pocket size makes it great to take along. Buy a screen protector for the lcd and your in business. It is a little harder to see the lcd screen in the daylight...but I expect that....I would buy another one no problem. I have owned 5 different Olympus cameras over the years.....never had a bad one in my opinion and my kids have had other kinds (kodak, etc.) they don't compare.

Hope this helps you!
It is an honest common sense view.
