I got this camera for my mother's birthday. I ordered it online and picked it up by a nearby store. The picture quality on the camera was not good at all! None of the buttons worked as well. I am sure this is a great camera, but i would recommend to make sure it works before you leave the store.

I used the Olympus SZ 10 for the first time Sunday at the 132 church anniversary and am very pleased with the ability to zoom and get a good result. Most challenging is holding the camera steady to avoid a blur, I'd recomend using both hands when possible. All the indoor shots had exceptional quality without the use of the flash.
I purchased a second battery however, the length of battery life on the original equipment was exceptional and did not require me having to use the backup battery.

Horrible Camera

We have been a big fan of Olympus in the past but no more. On this camera the zoom is decent and outside photos quality is good. Indoor photos are horrible. Sometimes it makes the picture orange and blurry. Tried changing the settings and no help. Another thing aggrevating with this camera is the slow picture capture. It can take 5+ seconds for some pictures to take. Sometimes the camera even freezes while trying to take a picture. Nothing worse than trying to retake a picture 5 times and adjusting the settings to get the picture to take. Video is good on this camera. Having a toddler we missed out on many good photos because of this camera.
Overall the frustrations with this camera is too much to tolerate.

Probably Defective

If the camera is particularly bad in situations where other people writing reviews are not reporting the exact same problems, an exchange may help. Don't assume the camera is working correctly just because it powers on and takes a picture. All manufacturers have had quality control issues due the complex/delicate nature of the lens and digital cameras in general.

Have been very pleased with this camera. I have had it about 6 weeks, still "playing" with the different options. I have taken approx. 2500 pictures. I was looking for a camera with a great zoom on it, and i found it. the best thing about it was the price, it was on clearance for 149.00. Landscape, sunset, the moon, flowers, my grandkids, it does an amazing job on any subject!
Great buy!

Review 6 for Olympus SZ-10 Silver 14MP Digital Camera Bundle w/ 18x Optical Zoom, 3.0" LCD Display, HD Movie

Camera seems a prize for such affordable price, good grip, nice shape, remarkable specifications. However, once in my hands I found out that the mechanical image stabilization doesn't work well for any zoom over 8x without tripod. Flash pops up only on request manually. There is no eye viewfinder. And the wheel controller can easy and unnoticeable change your functions and you may have to go all the way through the menu again.

All blurry photos

Every indoor picture we took were blurry (some rooms were low light). It was set on automatic setting but I even tried changing to the highest ISO. Video recording was good. Very nice looking camera. I didn't like the fact there isn't an external knob so I can change the setting quickly (from automatic to sport to portrait, etc#. We took it back and good a Kodak Easyshare Max which has great pictures #we tried to get blurry photos but can't) and has greater video recording quality. I wouldn't recommend this for the price.

I am not a big camera buff but I wanted a good camera that would do a good job when I do take pictures. This seems to fit the bill. I am still learning the bells and whistles but I do like it this comes with a package.....the bag and the extra memory.....will never run out of room for picture taking. Also the 50 bonus prints with the camera, the case, and the memory stick...I think I have like 50 bonus prints or so.

My first time to own an Olympus camera. I'm a Sony user but decided to try a different brand that
takes a cheaper memory card, And I'm glad I did. I haven't read the downloaded manual for my Olympus yet but I'm doing okay because it is so easy to operate.

I have been extremely pleased with the Olympus SZ-10 Digital camera! A Walmart employee at the Cedar City, Utah store, took time to explain all of its features. Was nice that she had picture taking experience. In fact, the woman in line behind me bought one too.
I absolutely love the zoom capabilities because I post pictures on a blog all of the time. And closeups are what people like most. It is easy to hold compared to slim cameras, but not too big. I love taking pictures of nature, and have captured some great shots. Would definitely purchase again. I am not a professional photographer, but moving up from a basic camera to one that has 18x optical zoom was fantastic. See my pics.

I purchased this camera to tote around to take picture of my daughter but I was let down. It looks great. The design is beautiful and I figured it out in just a few minutes of holding it. Unfortunately, the photo quality is not up to par. I didn't seem to find the right settings to take an average picture. Everything look grainy or washed out. I thought the 14MP would make a difference but the quality was just not there. The video on the other hand was decent but I didn't buy it for video. I'm returning it asap and getting something that has better picture quality. Who knows, maybe it was far too advanced for me.
