Review on πŸ“· Silver Olympus SZ-12 14MP Digital Camera with 24x Wide-Angle Zoom (Previous Model) by Ginger Allen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I order a second one!

I ordered one of these from HSN (SZ-11) in 2011 for my son and daughter-in-law. I did a walking tour of Tuscany last summer (fantastic if you've ever thought of doing that) and didn't want to lug around my giant Olympus DSLR every day. Since they lived with me at the time, I took their camera with me. It was so easy to use, set the mode to panorama, auto, short videos, landscapes (zoom in and out), people, indoor shots of churches and museums. etc. A few shots were blurry - especially where we were walking and I just held the camera over my head and clicked away, as well as some indoor shots with ZOOM in low light (Pieta :-{ ). The battery held a charge for more than two weeks and 1500 shots! I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of this camera. Not sure if this camera comes with Olympus software but since my E-620 came installed I just plugged it in and uploaded it using the Olympus Master software which also has editing capabilities on the recording, you can post it change after downloading. The kids moved away a few months ago so I need a good pocket camera to carry around in my purse. I have sold all Olympus products and am now ordering one for myself.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
