Answer by Shorty
I never used one, but the general consensus is that it features fantastic image quality in a very small, light, and positively unexpensive package, but has a limited range of lenses to choose from, and the ergonomics are mediocre if you are an advanced user wanting to take control of the manual settings.

Go here and read the user reviews: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/674721-REG/Olympus_262856_PEN_E_PL1_Digital_Camera.html#reviews

Or here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/read_opinions.asp?prodkey=oly_epl1

I have no experience with the camera and these are not professional reviews, but I map it can’t be any worse than “normal public” who tell you what they reckon of it over here.

dpreview is not overwhelmed by it, but they say it’s “okay.”

Answer by God Is In The Details
the lack of a viewfinder really sets me off on it.

Answer by KB
Ive shot with one and like it! It reminds me of a rangefinder camera. I still wish there was an eyepiece in the camera and not mounted on the top. I have never met someone who didn’t like their “pen”

Classic After shopping

Olympus digital camera

I’m shopping around for a digital camera and I’m soooooooo lost.
I know nothing about this stuff. I’m looking for just a basic point and shoot under $ 200. More than 8 mp and a 3″ screen would be best but 2.5 is ok.

These are the ones I like so far:

1) Olympus: http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/digitalcameras/0,39005881,43910197p,00.htm

2) Nikon: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8741542&type=product&id=1202648529969

3) Fuji: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1202648739107&type=product

4) Casio: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/EXZ150/EXZ150A.HTM

My friend said List is really excellent but they’re all kinda pricey…my fave so far is the Fuji. But I’m not sure.

Which cameras do you recommend? And out of the ones I posted which one do you reckon would be best and why?

Any help would be greatly appreciated =D

Answer by Hannah Grace
I’m a Nikon fan, for myself. I have a Coolpix P3 currently, and it’s pretty sweet for a point & shoot.

Answer by Pey
While most of the cameras out there are really excellent, I would choose List over Nikon because it seems like more camera for the money. Some would say List withholds their best technology for high end cameras and Nikon implements their best at all levels. Before you choose, read all the text and links in the information below because it will help you know what to look for in a camera.

There is no one particular place to get fantastic buys, but you may see something below that really helps you find the best buy. Click on the first link in the information below for an example then search for your camera of choice at the high left. Camera prices at this link exchange often.

Just saw this camera at Best Buy and reckon it is a fantastic camera and a best buy. It has an optical viewfinder, image stabilizer, auto focus, and uses NiMH rechargeable batteries. Read as much of the later as you can for additional information and help with choosing a camera.
List A590IS $ 129.99 at Staples days gone by.

There are so many cameras out there it is hard to say which is best, but digital is beyond doubt the way to go. The second source link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices. The later information should help you know what to look for in a camera.

What gives a camera its picture quality?
The small answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very vital, but the ability to set the scene, exchange the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the fantastic pictures.

In new cameras, look for optical viewfinders (LCD invisible in bright sun) and check battery prices. High mega pixel settings take longer to process and may not be needed unless required for very large pictures or enlarging small parts of huge pictures. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel background is 8 x 10 inches. Click links below for more details.

The information about my camera is just to show that you don’t need the largest and best. Just know how to use the one you have.

My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives fantastic results, is nearer, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7 x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an ancient camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes … like magic.

Check with the Geeks in several supplies and compare prices. Question what cameras they own, but don’t judge everything you hear. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner’s manual. Just learned that my camera has red-eye prevention and correction. It also has adaptive lighting. You may be able to view owners manuals at this link, but will need to Login. http://www.retrevo.com/s/digital+camera …

The source links will show most of the cameras out there with prices and help make your digital cameras work better.
