 Couldn't be more pleased. March 31, 2006

I just purchased (and received) this camera from Amazon.com and I'm ecstatic. If you're looking for a high quality (compact) point and shoot digital camera, look no further.
First of all, although the camera is extremely lightweight, it is very well-made. If you're anything like me, you take good care of your possessions, but at the time same, you don't want something so fragile that you spend more time worrying about it than actually enjoying it. With this camera, you don't have to be preoccupied with damaging it in any way - which is the case with most other compact digital cameras.
Second, in addition to its durable body, the huge 2.5 inch LCD is strong (i.e., wont crack), scratchproof, and waterproof. I like to keep my camera in my front pocket and so I don't want a camera that has a fragile screen. In this respect, the camera gives me some leeway in case someone bumps into me at a bar or club, or if I take pictures in a moist environment. Once again, I love the ruggedness of this camera.
Third, the camera is just beautiful too look at. The metal casing is sleek, there are not many buttons, and the camera is slim enough to fit in my front pocket, yet not small enough to make me worry about dropping it.
Fourth, the picture quality is superb. I know a few of the more "renown" digital camera review sites said the picture quality was merely "acceptable", but I found that it is not the case. Sure you may run into some quality issues when you make 16 x 20 prints, but as far as keeping them on your computer (e.g., for saving and emailing) or making 4 x 6 prints, this camera is more than fine.
Lastly, the flash works great in multiple light settings. One of the biggest issues I've had in the past with digital cameras has involved pictures being overexposed or underexposed, depending on available light. I've taken about 40 pictures with my Stylus in various light settings, and all have turned out near perfect.
People have to realize that when one purchases a digital camera, he/ she does so because he/ she has certain needs. For example, you might be able to take higher quality pictures with a digital SLR, or even a bigger digital camera (e.g., a canon powershot), but can you keep those cameras in your pocket? Do those cameras make people oooh and aaaahhh? There's always an opportnity cost involved when choosing a digital camera, but for the best all-around compact camera, the Olympus Stylus 710 is a very wise choice.

This is a beautiful little camera to own and look at, seems very well made, hefts easily and works easily, menus are quite comprehensive, require a bit of reading, and awful lot there, or if you get lazy, go to full automatic.
And now for what it produces, first, I use Picas 2 from Google, I like it, does what I want it to do.
When you look at the photos on the screen, they are well, sort of BLAH, well I edit with Picasa 2 and print, they come print out very, very well, color is nice, and photos are sharp, very pleasing qualities everyone I,ve show the shots too really liked them, image stabilization works well, what we sets it apart from so many other digital cams in this size and price range, its 7.2 megs, and just like Olympus says, you can very well take shots in an almost totally dark room, also seems to work very well in bright light, with all of these compact cameras I think Olympus has engineereed the best screen, its a lovely little camera that I hope to have for some time.
The battery is small, but, seems to last for quite a while.
I thoroughly enjoy using it and the results it gives.

Awesome camera! Small and light, large LCD screen, easy to use (you can keep it on auto or more advanced users can use the manual options), waterproof feature is nice, seems durable and is supposed to be scratch proof which has proven true so far, good optical and digital zoom, takes videos with sound and has continuous photo options for active pictures... I love it and so does everyone else that sees it!
 Not weather proof and warranty not honored September 14, 2006

This camera is not weather proof as claimed and Olympus will find any reason to void the warranty. I purchased this camera about five months ago, and was very pleased with it those first five months. The high resolution and many shooting modes worked well. I purchased this camera over the many, many other cameras with similar resolutions because of Olympus' claim that it is "weather proof." However, the first time I used it in the rain, the camera failed completely. When I opened up the battery compartment, there was water inside. Olympus refused to cover the repair under warranty because my camera was not in brand new condition because it has some normal nicks and scuffs (the kind that happen to anything that you keep in your pocket all the time). So, I have to pay Olympus $193.00 to fix their defective camera. BE WARNED -- Olympus will void the warranty unless your camera is in out-of-the box new condition, so the warranty is not worth the paper it is printed on. Olympus has the worst customer service of any large company I have ever dealt with and the sole purpose of their customer service department seemed to be to deny warranty claims. I recommend against purchasing any Olympus product.

All of my pictures are great. Outside, inside, low light, through glass, candle light, all of them great. I woud highly recommend this camera to everyone.
