| jskier's Full Review: Olympus Stylus 710 / µ 710 Digital Camera |
I got this camera for Christmas in hopes of a improved technological, lightweight camera as opposed to my aging but trustworthy although bulky Canon S50 Powershot.
It's small and light, which I wanted, however, the picture quality was extremely grainy on all my shots indoors regardless of the settings I tried. In comparison to the indoor shots I had taken on my older Canon, I found the grainy factor much worse on the 710 even though it has 2 more megapixels.
I only want to print photos occasionally as well as post them on an online gallery, so I'm not asking much. I don't recommend this camera unless you don't expect much for quality in your pictures. It also doesn't have a viewfinder, which isn't a huge deal for point and shot simple stuff, but the LCD screen can't always be visible in every situation.
I'd write more but I'm returning this camera as soon as I can.
