Digital camera reviews of Olympus FE-310 8MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom (Black)

Digital camera Review: A Wonderful Camera!
Summary: 5 Stars

My son writes this review:
I got this camera for my birthday and it is wonderful. The x5 zoom is extremely good. I took a picture of a ship that was between 1/4 to 1/2 of a mile away and the picture looked like I took it from a few yards away.
I do recommend getting the 2GB chip for the camera. I get about 870 pictures and half an hour of video with the chip.
The only bad thing that bugs me is that the camera gulps down battery juice so I think that carrying at least 2 extra pairs of batteries is good.
In all, this camera is wonderful!!!
Using Lithium batterys really works if you don't use the camera all the time. I put some in and I've used them for a week and the battery life icon says it's still full.

This is an update about 6 months after I bought this camera:
The camera worked fine for about 2 months and then the pictures were really over exposed resulting in almost totally white pictures. We sent the camera in for repairs and got the same one back. I had if for about a month and then realized that the pictures had colored flairs on the screen and the pictures. So we send it back in and they sent the same camera back with the SAME PROBLEM!!! We sent it to Olympus again and they said that they would send me a Sylus 840 free of charge instead of the 310. I'm not sure what happened, if I just got a bad one or if all the cameras are like that.
PS: I don't want to say anything terrible against Olympus but the people that work there are (we think) totally illiterate! UGGGGG. The reason I say that is because we specifically asked for a black Stylus but instead they sent me a silver one. Come on Olympus! We know you can do better than that!!!
