Olympus Stylus 810 3 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.
This camera got great reviews in Consumer Reports, and I'm sure it's perfect for some, but it's far too slow to get good pictures of active kids. The "weatherproof" feature would've been nice, but I exchanged it for something faster.
It's an okay camera 3 out of 5 stars.

The reviews for this are good, but I am not to happy with my camera. I did have a Fugi finepix camera before the Olympus and the pics were great! The camera broke so I decided to try this one. The pics aren't as good as my other one so I would only give this one a 3 star.
I am picky about my pictures. I like the objects to be centered and showing detail. A lot of times when I take a picture with this camera it turns out blurry. You are supppsed to focus on the image you want take and push the button down halfway so the camera will focus then take the pic. A lot of times I just want the pic so I just point and shoot, so it turns out blury. A lot people probably would not notice this. If you try and blow the picture up and print it out, that's when you can tell.
This also doesn't have the little eye piece you can look into. Just a big screen on the back. That doesn't bother me unless I am trying to take a picture outdoors on a really bright sunny day. It's hard to see the screen if it's to bright outside.
The video quality is horrible too. Very grainy and hard to see.
They say you can use the digital zoom, but when you try to, the pic isn't very clear. If you are just starting out taking pictures then go for this camera. If you are into pictures and want better quality, I would go with something else.
Editorial Review:
The Stylus 810 draws upon the rich heritage of its popular predecessors, delivering quality performance in a compact, slim All-Weather body that's as appealing to the touch as it is to the eyes. It's also the most innovative Stylus to date, boasting Digital Image Stabilization for clear, steady results, Bright Capture Technology for great low light shooting, and an improved built-in autoset Help Guide to make choosing the perfect shooting mode an absolute cinch.
