This product provides a good quality picture. It has many features such as flash or no flash, portrait, daytime or nighttime photos and even a fireworks mode. This is a small camera that you can take anywhere to capture the photos you need. This camera will also take videos. I already had a camera just like this one, but the lens gears got buggered up, so I bought this as a replacement, or to use as replacement parts.

I really like the camera and the fact that is was refurbished only made it a better bargain. I use it a lot and have had no issues. I love all of the different scene modes you can use and the practicality of the size of it is wonderful! I have a bigger digital camera as well for my hobby photo shoots, but I love being able to carry this point and click around with ease. The turbo processor helps for you to be able to capture more of the moments, especially with fast moving subjects such as kids and pets. The only thing I have noticed is the picture quality isn't as great as my Sony Cybershot, even not using the digital zoom on either camera. The Sony Cybershot is only 6 megapixels so I was curious to see how the Olympus compared with the additional megapixel. I recommend the bulkier, bigger Cybershot (it has 15X digital zoom) for clarity and still shot reasons, but I do still love my Olympus and would recommend it! It is easy to use and figure out so it makes a good camera for all potential photographers.Read full review
This is a great little Camera for the price once again it is a 7.1 MP camera giving the digital zoom a little functionality as well as having a little bit of optical zoom capability. It is a weather proof camera not to be confused with a waterproof camera, I have had no issues with water damage, I have dropped it in saltwater when powered on and taken pictures in the rain, not something I would recomend with a $1000 SLR camera. Other great features are the full functionality of ISO adjustment and other settings you like to see in a more expensive camera. all in all the advanced features are easy to use but not too advanced, making it a great point and shoot camera. one huge drawback for the point and shoot photographer is that it does not record in a windows media format when doing a video clip it records in quick time format and then needs to be reformatted to record it to a disc. The huge view screen is great but can use the batteries quickly when using it to review shots. One big plus the batteries, lasting literally hundreds of shots and an extra is affordable lion batteries unlike other slim cameras the replacement batteries can be had for about $12-18USD as an aftermarket brand. I bought 2 and charge one use and and save 1 for backup. the memory card is a XD so a 1gig is the biggest currently available but a spare Fuji brand card can be had for under $40 on sale at Best Buy with an instant rebate. Finally when transferring pictures to your PC use a USB 2.0 Card reader, 50X faster than using the camera and 10X faster than using an internal card reader also reducing the chance for a transfer error. never transfer from your camera to your PC thats why the memory card is removable. the transfer cable required is a USB Mini not cheap either (about $40) a card reader is $15-20Read full review
I thought the Stylus 710 was a great little camera. Granted I am not an expert fotographer, but I am a scuba diver and love to take underwater pictures. The highlights of the the 710 are the size of the screen, the light-weight, all-weather body, and the variety of shooting modes. There are a couple of underwater settings, but I didn't find them very effective. The main disadvantage that I discovered was that when you change a shot mode, the camera never remembered the setting. So when I changed from, say under water mode to video and back to underwater mode, I had to scroll through whole menu to get back to underwater. A minor inconvenience, but when you are trying to capture things like fish, you can easily miss "the" shot. Other wise I had no complaints. Good battery life, good video quality, good value. I would recommend it to anyone as an excellent entry-level camera.Read full review
This is a great camera for the price. Excellent picture quality 7.1 mega pixs Very easy to use. Supper slim and compact. Two draw backs are: Non standard USB cable to connect to your PC. The connecter to the PC is normal USB but the connector to the camera is not. So you cannot buy one from the electronics store to have one at home and one at work. Must buy the cable from Olympus and the last time I check they were not in stock. The other downfall is no standard view finder, only the LCD so in bright sun light you cannot see what you are taking a picture of.
The Olympus 710 has an great internal guide to taking wonderful pictures. It is very (no pun intended) stylish. The built in slide show feature allows you to play back your pictures on the camera or video source with included back ground music (BGM). The 7.1 megapixels allow for great, clear pictures in a variety of sizes. I would recommend this camera to anyone who enjoys taking photos.
I bought a 7MP Olympus 710 camera to replace my damaged Olympus 3020. What a GREAT little camera that easily fits in your pocket for quick pictures or video anywhere, anytime. I especially like the fact THIS model includes sound when recording video although the video quality is not so great. One feature my old camera had was to zoom while video taping but I'll take sound over that feature any day. Pictures are really good quality but I must say my old camera tended to take sharper, clearer pictures even though it was only 3.2 MP. Still for under $60 a great deal. I really like the camera and video tape my kids little league games every time. RedPro
I've read a few of the other reviews, and what I don't understand is some talked about taking this camera underwater. The Stylus 720SW is the waterproof model, not this one. The 720SW is good for up to 10', for up to an hour. This 710 is weatherproof. I also own the Olympus Evolt 330. I was quite impressed to see a lot of the same features and options built onto this camera. What really blew me away about the 710 is it could record a 30 sec movie, with sound. When you played the video clip back in the camera, you can hear the soundtrack. That was a cool bonus. My wife adopted this camera. She never leaves home without it. Knowing what I know, I'd say go for the 720, so you could take it underwater with you.
I bought this camera to replace an identical model that was dropped and ruined last year. We had actually bought a Nikon to replace it already, but missed this camera. Its older and doesn't have a jillion megapixels or a ton of bells and whistles and that is part of the appeal. What we found with the Nikon, which is new and has a millionX zoom or whatever, is that it is VERY slow to take a picture when you first turn it on. This Olympus is ready to shoot much more quickly and when you have two kids you are trying to catch smiling before one starts screaming, you need all the seconds you can get! The picture quality probably isn't as good, but its nothing we notice, to be honest.
It shows 710 is older generation camera, but still very good to use. (+) -compact size, low weight -build quality -durable battery -cheap underwater case on sale (reason I bought the camera) -photo quality seems very good for a subcompact -very good automatisaton algorithms; works well in point-n-shoot mode -fast startup -fast flash charge -big lcd (-) -poor movie mode -no fast review mode - to enter view mode must rotate mode dial, to go back to photo mode must rotate dial again (not with shutter button like on many other cameras) -slow lens - fires flash too often -no manual modes -if turned on in scene mode, must press "ok" to confirm mode before you start shooting - iritating Bottomline, I'm happy with this camera, I use it in conjunction with Canon S5
