Price Paid:
$300.00 Summary:
Wonderful piece, that has been bulletproof for me. Shots are routinely excellent, and the long zoom gives the potential for lots of shots that would otherwise be impossible. Red eye is a problem if you zoom in tight quarters. Strengths:
Great for all types of photography - I use it for sports and family shots, and it's taken its fair share of abuse in without ever complaining - In a fanny pack at -10 skiing, getting wet on a raft trip - on roller coasters -it's great - and the picture quality is always top notch!
The long zoom lets you get a lot of great cameo shots, as people don't see you so far away, and the lens is fast enough that you can freeze an 8 and 10 year old's action shots.
Many people have used it for shots, and it seems readily understandable by most.
Considering the abuse its taken, the reliability is great - I've had mine for about 4 years, and I'd readily buy another but I'm ready for a digital. Weaknesses:
Viewfinder is small, and the diopter adjustment can get bumped around.
I haven't used the red eye reduction, but without using it I'll say that you have to be careful to avoid it (don't zoom out too far - I always do!) Similar Products Used:
Olympus - Forgot the model, but it was the IQ 160's equivalent- all the shots were dark - Lost it in an airport - wasn't very upset. Customer Service:
Haven't had to use it.
