Olympus Stylus 810 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Image Stabilized Optical Zoom

Overview

The Stylus 810 draws upon the rich heritage of its popular predecessors, delivering quality performance in a compact, slim all-weather body that’s as appealing to the touch as it is to the eyes. It’s also the most innovative Stylus to date, boasting Digital Image Stabilization for clear, steady results, Bright Capture Technology for great low-light shooting, and an improved built-in autoset Help Guide to make choosing the perfect shooting mode an absolute cinch.

Digital Image Stabilization
Put an end to the disappointment experienced by blurry images by shooting with Digital Image Stabilization Mode for clear results every time, or retouch with Digital Image Stabilization Edit. The built-in gyro sensor detects camera shakes for each shot and lets you fix the blurred images right in the camera at the touch of a button.

All Weather
You take great care in deciding when and where to take pictures so we’ve taken great care in protecting them and the camera with all-weather seals and gaskets so you can shoot at your discretion, rain or shine.

Bright Capture
Why limit yourself to taking clear, bright pictures only half the time? You can take them day and night, in light or dark, with exclusive Bright Capture Technology.

Built-in Help Guide
It’s easy to determine which shooting mode or feature should be used in a particular situation with brief descriptions that summarize each available mode. An improved Shooting Guide even sets the camera automatically for you.

2.5-Inch Premium-Sized LCD
You’ll love the view from the 2.5-inch color LCD that enables you to view, share, edit, print, and more with your pictures in much greater detail.

24 Shooting Modes
There’s practically no situation that the Stylus 810 doesn’t have a scene mode for so you can capture amazing photos at sporting events, in a museum, of fireworks, and more.

4 Stars Solid little camera I like the size of this camera -- perfect for dropping in a pocket on a trip. It takes pretty good, even some great pictures. Functionally, my only complaint is that the zoom isn't quite as good as I would like, but then again, I knew the specs coming in. I don't use the software so I can't comment on that. I'm a Mac user and iPhoto does what I need it to do, so if you have PhotoShop or iPhoto you probably won't use the software that is bundled with it either.

3 Stars It's an okay camera The reviews for this are good, but I am not to happy with my camera. I did have a Fugi finepix camera before the Olympus and the pics were great! The camera broke so I decided to try this one. The pics aren't as good as my other one so I would only give this one a 3 star.

I am picky about my pictures. I like the objects to be centered and showing detail. A lot of times when I take a picture with this camera it turns out blurry. You are supppsed to focus on the image you want take and push the button down halfway so the camera will focus then take the pic. A lot of times I just want the pic so I just point and shoot, so it turns out blury. A lot people probably would not notice this. If you try and blow the picture up and print it out, that's when you can tell.

This also doesn't have the little eye piece you can look into. Just a big screen on the back. That doesn't bother me unless I am trying to take a picture outdoors on a really bright sunny day. It's hard to see the screen if it's to bright outside.

The video quality is horrible too. Very grainy and hard to see.

They say you can use the digital zoom, but when you try to, the pic isn't very clear. If you are just starting out taking pictures then go for this camera. If you are into pictures and want better quality, I would go with something else.

5 Stars Perfect Traveling Companion... This camera has met my expectations in so many ways. I should note I never really wanted to start looking for a new camera when I started looking for this one, but a camping trip (where I actually stored my camera in the tent!) sent my Canon to its grave. This was the second digital camera I'd lost to outdoor exposure. No more. I'm now a loyal Olympus fan.

Thus far, my Olympus has been through the rain and cloud forests of Costa Rica, through several feet of freshly falling snow in Romania, and on many a camping trip and trail. And I'm just as happy with it as day one.

The images are crip and clear, it fits perfectly in my jean pockets, and I like the fact that the lens withdraws within the camera to avoid scratches. Battery life has been outstanding. It seems to be such an issue with so many electronic devices, but I've found that I can take hundreds of pictures with my 810 without a hitch. Now that I think about it, on my recent trip to Romania, I was snapping away with the camera without an electric converter or spare battery and never ran out of batteries over my 11 days.

At first I was a little disappointed that I couldn't find a weatherproof camera with a viewfinder, but I've become very used to the LCD digital display as of late, and it hasn't proven a problem.

If there is one thing that I would like to change about this camera, it's the curved edges. Sure, they look good. But say you want to take vertically-oriented image in the middle of the night? You can't set the camera on a level surface with the curves edges on the sides (and you can't hold it in your hands, or the image will blur due to the long exposure), though you can shoot horizontally. I guess I could get a tripod, but this is a point-and-shoot camera...

And if the worst I can do is to complain about a camera's ability to shoot a particular orientation in the middle of the night...not bad, right?

3 Stars Olympus Stylus 810 This camera got great reviews in Consumer Reports, and I'm sure it's perfect for some, but it's far too slow to get good pictures of active kids. The "weatherproof" feature would've been nice, but I exchanged it for something faster.

2 Stars Worst for night mode Bought this camera last year. Okay for day light photos and worst for night mode. I tried different settings but still could not use this camera to take pictures during the night time.
