| scamfighter's Full Review: Olympus Camedia E-20N Digital Camera |
This $3,000CDN camera is far beneath the capacity or capability of its stated quality. Camera is VERY slow to write to disk. Must stop after the fourth picture for up to 2 minutes to write to the disk. This is totally unacceptable for a professional series camera at this upper price range. Camera has never been able to focus. Auto-focus has never worked and takes blurry pictures. All communications to Olympus regarding these issues have been ignored. Batteries run out after very short period....very unreliable for outdoor photography. Landscapes are washed out and colors distorted. Brings LOTS of batteries!
I did drop the battery compartment and it shattered. Sent Olympus International Money order to Huppauge, NY. Never delivered the product as I requested and paid for. Refund for part was promised, but after two months still never received. I can not in good conscious recommend either this camera or the parts and service staff for Olympus America. Most of their employees struggle with basic English...Bad camera, no response to complaints, and finally. NO refund for a part ordered and paid for but never delivered. This camera and the company are BAD news.
Recommended:
No
Amount Paid (US$): 2,700
This Camera is a Good Choice if You Want Something... Flexible Enough for Enthusiasts
