Great little camera

I have had my Olympus SZ-12 for a few years now. There are newer models that do a little more, but I can count on my little Olympus to take good autofocus photos. I upload my digital photos to my MacBook using iPhoto. This helps improve them even more. I like the fact that no external batteries are required. The battery charges while I upload photos to my computer for editing. I like this good basic digital camera.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Great deal on 24x wide angle camera

Very good entry level camera with some extra features found in more expensive cameras. The zoom is very impressive.

The reason I'm giving the camera four stars instead of five is because of the multi-jack cover. It is very thin and can easily break; However, this is by no means a waterproof camera and the open connector compartment can be acceptable (I was tempted…

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • May cause injury

Good luck with the camera

I'm not a photo genius at all. I love taking photos to remind myself of where I've been or what we're doing. I bought this camera because it always shoots wide, which I like. There are different mode settings depending on the type of image. Read the instructions to understand what they do. I had to practice taking different types of shots with the appropriate settings to ensure I quickly knew which settings to use. It really wasn't difficult, in fact it was fun. I took great pictures of my dogs

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…

Pros
  • Sleek design
