Pros: Easy to use 35mm point and shoot 38-170 zoom lens and water resistant
Cons: No image stabilizer
Bottom Line: My past history with Olympus quality, the compact size, and outstanding retail price sealed the deal. For an amateur like myself I am pleased with the quality of my photos.
Pros: Lightweight, water resistant, auto point and shoot great zoom quality 35-170mm
Cons: No panoramic mode (only on deluxe model), no image stabilizer
Bottom Line: Excellent quality camera, at a rock bottom price. A great choice for the amateur photographer, who wants point and shoot that is easy to use.
