Review: I bought this camera 2 years ago and it was functioning just fine in my tropical country. However, I visited my friend in London in December, I was disgustingly disappointed with this camera. This is supposed to be a "ALL-WEATHER" camera. But when I tried to snap some pictures, the battery light came on and indicated empty battery. But in fact I charged it the night before. I decided to went indoor and give it another try. The battery light was mystically came on as green as it can be. Very strange. Now this is not the end of the story. I took it out with me on the field trip the next day, the camera gave me another whole new issue. The lens was extending and retracting when I switched on the camera. The screen showed D: 5f08 and 5e02. I have no idea what that means. I have to fiddle a few times to turn it off. Very disappointing to say the least. DON'T buy it if you plan to use it in a cold climate country.

Review: I recently purchased the Olympus Stylus 700 and am very disappointed. If you try to take a picture in anything other than flash mode the picture is blurred. I was very impressed with all of the functionality provided for such a small package, but if your photos turn out blurred - what good are they? It's a good thing I purchased mine from HSN because I'm sending it back!
