Olympus V104160BU000 First Impressions
"Great clarity."I have big hands, but it still fits well into my palm--very comfortable to hold. Been looking for a easy to use, simple Olympus Point & Shoot Digital Camera. Reduced kit by one star since enclosed camera bag is too small for camera. I needed a Olympus Point & Shoot Digital Camera with a sensor larger than what is on my smartphone. Me and my husband have planned a trip to Bahamas.

"Decent battery life."Lastly, the complaints about battery life are totally valid. I like everything about the camera. Light, portable and equipped with a good sensor. I was pretty skeptical buying another point and shoot. Light, portable and equipped with a good sensor.

Olympus XZ-2 Final Thoughts
"Quality."I haven't tried the macro shots yet, but will update this review when I get too. I am so impressed with this Olympus XZ-2! Not to mention it worked great as a Olympus Point & Shoot Digital Camera too. Love that a strap, case and lens cover came with it, among other things. Ergonomics count, especially when you get used to Olympus's excellent system--wow!

"You guessed it, buy this."10,000 photos with it and it worked well for its limited capabilities. Its small and very comfortable to hold and use, which is great cuz I have small hands. Lastly, the complaints about battery life are totally valid. Or, you can select all-manual, if you want to set everything yourself. This camera was such a great gift for my daughter’s big sister gift.

Olympus E-M5 MARK II 1240 BLACK Final Thoughts
"It's SOOOOOO cool."Some people even claim that the Olympus E-M5 MARK II 1240 BLACK rivals medium format quality. Let me say from the start, I really like Olympus. Looking forward to seeing how the weight savings impact my hikes and travel. Olympus, however, has always had colors that are exactly as our eyes see it! It wont replace a DSLR but it comers pretty close.

"Just kidding."I love the LED light and extra batteries for the camera and light. 10,000 photos with it and it worked well for its limited capabilities. Where this Olympus really shines though is the video recording oddly enough. I would like a firmware update to fix that. Light, portable and equipped with a good sensor.

"It packs a punch."Love the small compact size which will be perfect for traveling. With a prime lens, zoom is one less thing you worry about. I wanted something to capture my kids activities. This camera does just what I have wanted, including zoom in video recorder mode. Takes great low light & fireworks pictures.
