Olympus is a terrible company!!!:
I had this item for two weeks and was kneeling on the floor taking a picture and the camera slipped out of my hands. It fell maybe a foot (remember, I was kneeling). When i picked it back up it would not turn on. We sent it bck to Olympus because we were well within warranty, and they sent us a letter back saying that since it was an "impact" issue, our warranty was null and void, but that they would be happy to repair it for us for $90. The camera cost us $175 new! They wanted to charge us over half of the cost of a new camera to fix it when they should have honored their warranty anyway! We will never buy an Olympus again and I recommend that you do not waste your money!
Excellent:
This slick, light weight camera is the best I've ever had. It's simple to use, yet comes with so many endless options to choose from for all occasion's. You can choose your picture size and it also records. The Olympus CD is easy to use, and pictures upload and print beautifully. I highly recommend this camera for everybody!!
Panorama with 2G Olympus XD memory doesn't work:
I'd give this a better rating, but I can't do Panorama Pictures with the new 2Gb Olympus brand XD card I bought with the camera. I put a 1Gb Olympus XD in and the Panorama option works. So, it looks like the camera has a firmware problem recognizing the newer 2Gb Olympus XD cards. Olympus will only allow Panorama pictures with "their" brand XD cards. So, I was extremely disappointed when I discovered this problem. So, I only gave this a 3-star rating since with 8Mp pictures you really do want to use as large of memory cards as possible... For all types of pictures. No firmware update is currently available on the Olympus website to fix the problem. If they fix this problem... I'd give the camera a 4 or possibly 5 star rating.
Disappointing, to say the least:
The FE-340 is the third Olympus camera that I have purchased. Not that I am loyal to the Olympus brand, but I am used to the controls so I figured I can't go wrong. That was a mistake. This is the worst of the cameras I have bought. I love the re-chargeable battery, but that is about the extent of what is good about this camera. Pictures consistently come out blurry, no matter what mode is used. I have taken many pictures at events I have attended, only to come home and find that they are blurry and thus useless. I would not recommend this camera.
All is as promised:
I bought this camera for my step daughter for christmas. I was pleased with the shipping time. I cannot really rate the product because she has not said anything about the camera.
