I am very pleased with the Olympic Stylus 1010. I was looking for a better camera than the 7 mp Sony cybershot I had. It had served its purpose for the 2 yrs I had it but it was time to upgrade to one with more pixels. I had read all the reviews of the Olympus Stylus 1010 and was quite impressed. The price was very reasonable compared to others in this range of pixels and zoom. A plus was that it had a panorama feature.
I had an Olympus SLR and was extremely satisfied with that, in those days, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I took the camera and manual to the San Diego Wild Animal Park and put the camera through it's paces. I spent 4 hours there, shooting movement, landscape, close ups, birds, etc. I took over 500 photos, including Panoramas and the battery never wore down! Very long lasting. The software for the Olympus was easy to use. Very easy to download. I had taken photos in all the features, auto, scene, etc. The Macro works very well. Night scenes came out lovely! Can't complain about this camera! It even has a stand by feature that shuts off in sleep mode after 10 seconds (adjustable) when taking pictures often. Also, has a feature for taking consecutive photos in burst mode.
The biggest problem I had was searching for the xD memory card. You definitely need this memory card for panorama. Make sure it's the Olympus M+ xD card. Not many places carried it. Reasonably priced around $12-14.
When I filled out registration and an online survey, I was given an extra year's warranty for doing so! That was a plus to have a 2 yr warranty. It tells you something about Olympus. They stand behind their product. I don't think you'll be disappointed with this camera.
