Customer Review: Very disappointing
I wanted a new camera as my old one, although fantastic, was only 4MP. As the image quality and colour vibrancy of my old Olympus camera was superb; I decided to stick with the brand and plumped for the Mju 820.
The camera looks very sleek and is extremely easy to use but unfortunately I found these to be the only qualities. After taking over one hundred pictures I noticed on the LCD that there was a lot of noise on all of the pictures but I hoped that when I transferred them onto my computer then the 8MP would really show…I was wrong. The quality of every single image was terrible and these were not low-light/close up shots, these were outdoor in full-light. Most were taken with the pre-programmed ‘normal’ (point-and-shoot) settings. I even tried altering the ISO and using each of the scenario settings but to no avail.
Another thing that made me dislike the camera was the fact that, although the camera looks stylish, its slim-line edge on one side contrasted with its chunky edge on the other making the camera quite difficult to hold and grip.
All in all, I would recommend extreme caution if you’re thinking of buying this camera - its 2 star rating is purely due to its ease of use.
Customer Review: first camera
i recived this as a christmas gift.its my first camera,so its hard to give a comparison.
im very happy with it,love the look and all the fetures it as.great in macro mode,really clear shots.
my only little gripe is when i croped some pictures for putting on the internet,they seemed a little grainy,not macro,but normal shots,but that could well be down to me,need more practice,so im off to play again.thanks olympus for a good product.

Customer Review: Depends on the application.
I love these batteries! Something to consider tho, is that a Warehouse Club 48-pack of regular 2800ma alkalines are about the same price. So for low-current applications where maximum life, cold weather performance, weight, etc. isn’t critical, there are much more cost-effective choices. AND speaking of critical, I had a little digital safe at the office (for postage stamps, the checkbook, spare car keys, and such) that ran on AA’s. I used it for years on regular alkalines and replaced them every 3 months or so. When the alkalines got low, it would still weakly open 5 or 10 times to give me plenty of time to change them. When I switched to a set of these lithiums (to reduce how often I had to do the replacement procedure) they lasted just over twice as long, BUT when they died, they were totally gone-ola. I think they’re way better at putting out full voltage to the end - which is ordinarily what you want out of a battery, unless you lock the manual-opening keys in the safe itself!
Customer Review: Good
The best battery that you can ever find!if you simply calculate,you wil understand that it’s cheaper than Alkaline!

Customer Review: Fantastic Camera, especially for Holidays
I have owned one of these cameras for over two years, and it has been faultless. I am really happy with it. In fact it is the best camera I have owned so far. Great photo quality in any conditions, and a very compact design so it will fit in your pocket. It also has an advanced screen which can be viewed in even the brightest sunlight without reflection, therefore the lack of a viewfinder is not a problem, and is a necessity in order to make the camera so small. This makes it a perfect camera for holidays, where you want to have a camera you can take anywhere with you. It will fit in your pocket to take on an evening out, or day trip. There are cameras out there with higher resolution now, but I doubt many of them can compete with the flexibilty and versatility this offers.
Customer Review: DSC-L1
I’ve had one of theses for a couple of years now & the results are excellent. Contrast & tones are well produced & the camera is small & very easy to use. Movie mode is sufficiently good to use in conjunction with regular digital video images when making DVD of events such as holidays although they can be a touch jerky. Beware that it is capable of producing images of a different frame speeds which may not be compatible with your camcorder so check speeds before use. Battery life too is good for several days normal work with the advantage that the camera uses a standard type mobile phone battery which gives the opportunity to have one on charge while using the other, which I never found the need to do as it will charge up OK overnight. Only major drawback is the lack of an optical viewfinder as the screen does suffer from loss of definition in bright light conditions if it cannot be shaded.
