Digital camera reviews of Olympus Stylus 1010 10.1MP Digital Camera with 7x Optical Dual Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)

Digital camera Review: So Far, So Good!
Summary: 5 Stars

So I bought this camera about a month ago, because I was looking for a replacement for my Stylus 310 (It seems so long ago...). I had read all the reviews, both positive and negative, and was - to be honest - a bit hesitant to invest. However, I've come to trust Olympus, and I know that often, a poor review can stem from limited knowledge of how to make the most out of a product.

Needless to say, I gave in, shelled out the $250, signed up for Amazon Prime (yes, the trial saved me about $11 in expedited shipping charges), and next thing I know: shiny new (silver) toy!

The camera is great. I've taken some really amazing super-macro photos (I call them my "study" on texture), the battery lasts seemingly forever, the optical zoom is impeccable, and I had no problem taking lengthy videos with a non-Olympus card, and the Shoot and Select modes have proven to be a veritable party starter.

I think this camera has reinstilled my passion for on-the-spot photo taking and seeing the world through a very large, bright, and clear lcd viewfinder. I say go for it!

Digital camera Review: The Best Point & Shoot Ever
Summary: 5 Stars

I needed a new point & shoot digital camera since my previous 2MP 3X optical zoom obviously has shortcomings. After days of online research I almost purchased a Canon Powershot. Then I came upon the Stylus 1010. What had me was the 7x optical zoom. But what almost turned me away were reports of 10 seconds cont. video recording time at 640x480 30fps. After further research I purchased the 1010 along with a 2Gb M+ card. Happily when I droped the card in and started recording video at high res. it started counting down from 18 minutes. When I played back the video on my tv the picture and audio quality was great. I did not need to do a firmware upgrade as some said. Once I got to using the friendly controls and the zoom I was awed. People are amazed when I show them pictures of objects with and without zoom. Very impressive for a compact camera.People complain about the panorama mode but there are two in-camera and one pc mode which are very easy to use. Must admit at first I was a bit disappointed with the overall photo quality but that was before I knew how to use features like autofocus and metering. If not sure what settings to use just select 'auto'. Another thing I like is that if you are not sure what a function is for the 'disp' button gives a written explanation. All in all this is a very good camera. Excellent picture quality, excellent zoom and more features than you can get bored with easily. So to all who had doubts like me, once you are going for a compact point and shoot this is the camera for you.

Digital camera Review: Very pleased
Summary: 4 Stars

This is my 3rd Olympus Stylus (710 lasted several years and several continents but eventually died; 840 I had less than a year before I dropped it) so I obviously like the product. Compact, well designed and well built, 7x zoom and 10.1 MP is hard to beat for the money. Can be used as a simple point & shoot but has lots of options too if you care to get into them. Wish this series were still weather resistant. I've heard good things about Canons too.

Digital camera Review: it was better than I thought
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this camera a few weeks ago. Before I bought it, I read many reviews. I was concerned about some of the negative reviews. However, I was relieved after I got it. It turned out much better than I thought. If you have time to play with it, it has amazing functions for such a small camera at this price.

Digital camera Review: omg
Summary: 4 Stars

OMG!
i purchased this camera in march 2009 grand presentation on HSN in purple. got it for 149 on 5 flex pays. lOVE IT, USE IT EVERY WEEKEND!all the different setting are great. I really like the " behing the glass" modes for places like the zoo. My package came with a case, charger, battery, USB cords again all for $149. anyway im still excited about this camera. NO problems just be sure to check the setting for auto shut off/ power save. its worth the money but i know my cheap self would not buy it regular priced. its really difficult to buy electronics online but the presentation was wonderful. check out the presentation on HSN site, it was really detailed and they went over every feature
