Is this camera comparable to the Olympus Stylus 300 (mine was stolen) in terms of ease of use &amp; photo quality?

This 14mp camera is awesome... It has the iauto feature plus drama shot and 5x zoom... It would make a great replacement to your camera... having 30 different scenes and filters and illuminated screen are great features... If you can afford 10 USD more you can get te 16MP VR-340 if you want better zoom... That has 10x zoom and a make-up filter... however it has less filters an scenes so... I would recommend either one for a replacement to your camera...

I have no complaints. Love the camera. Took amazing pics underwater!!! And happy with the indoor pics as well. It isnt a professional camera... If your looking for professional quality pics then shop on. I am a photographer and know this is a point and shoot and it does its job very well!

Yes. This camera is easy to use. Takes good quality pictures. Very easy to adjust the settings. Also simple to download pictures to the computer. We used it last few months and like it.

I'm also trying to decide between the Nikon Coolpix P90 and Olympus sp590uz. I mostly take pictures of wildlife, but need an occasional picture of family or knitting projects in doors. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks,

Faye,This is an amazing camera, but small and used recreationally by my husband. I can't honestly answer your question but would suggest finding it locally and checking it out in person first.Denise

Yes, but the real issues are quality of pictures.........poor, and digital retrieval time......poor. I've used camera only a few times because of the poor picture quality. Makes an excellent paperweight.

I heard Nikons were very nice cameras. This one is small, portable, easy to carry in my purse, pocket or the baby bag. It takes awesome pictures. I liked the fact that I was getting 20 MP for less than $150. I wanted something that would take awesome photos but at the same time, not cost me an arm and leg like some of the more expensive Nikons... not that they aren't worth the money. I don't think you'd regret purchasing this camera, I haven't in the four months I've had it. :)

I bought the TZ5 (really liked the size and LCD) and ultimately returned it in favor of the SX 110. Just took a trip to Italy and am generally pleased with the photos I got. Excellent color, clarity, and the zoom came in handy. It's not the most rugged camera in the world, but with reasonable care, I think it will be fine. I'm not sure I will ever "love" this one, but it does its job very well.

its def. worth the price, i was a bit skeptical in the beginning because all cameras i owned before were from nikon. i bought this one as a gift to my mom(simply because of the good reviews), and she took a lots of great quality pics and videos during our family vacation. quite easy to operate. ps i have an old, similar quality Nikon, and this camera takes way better pictures and have an amazing zoom for such small camera.

Get the SX100 as a refurb at a cheap price. You'll never tell the difference.

Sorry I have a Olympus stylus 7010 - Maybe check the Olympus website for compatable pic card type - Good Luck - Happy Holidays!

The Olympus stylus 1010 has been great for me. I take intra oral photos in the super Macro mode. The pictures are distortion free as long as the light is adequate. Without flash the use of a very portable fluorescent light has solved the problem of auto focus. A limitation is the xD card. I am looking for similar camera with SD cards that is usable with the new eyeFi cards that automatically and wirelessly post your photos to the computer. Until then I am happy with my Stylus 1010 (and maybe the upgrade 12mp stylus 7000).

I bought the 300 last May and have been very pleased with it. It's very small and light, can fit in the smallest pocket. I'm a lazy photographer these days and only use the auto/program mode. Zoom and close-ups are nice, and it takes excellent shots in low light without using the flash. Best of all, I dropped it on a concrete sidewalk, banged a good chunk of paint off but it still works fine! But before I knew it would be OK, I knew I'd buy another because I liked it so much. Can't compare it to the 4500. Be aware that it doesn't come with a picture card, you have to buy that separately. Some reviewers downgrade it for this, but that's how they keep the camera price down, it's not the camera's fault. ETA: You also don't get an instruction guide; only a CD that you can print out. This DOES bother me, but the basic mode of the camera is so easy to use that it hasn't been an issue.

Well to be very honest I don't feel I could compare something I am not familiar with. I would only be reading reviews about the Finepix S1800 and not actually comparing 2 products. I can only say (since I bought it for my son who is 36) that the pictures he takes with it are amazing and the price was very reasonable. I am sorry but I think if I tried to compare it to something I am not familiar with I would be giving you false information.
