Olympus Stylus 1000

Overall Impressions


which is good. The software is disorganized and not very intuitive. Pictures must be manually loaded and some of the software's functions are disabled unless a serial number is entered. Users who want to play with imaging software should invest in another software package or download something else online that has decent options or, at the very least, ease of use.
The Stylus 1000 comes with a lithium-ion rechargeable battery (LI-12B) that isn’t very powerful. The skinny power source can only get 175 shots per charge. It loads into the bottom of the camera body and is held in place by a tiny plastic switch. The camera comes with a charger that consists of a plastic chunk and a cable that connects the chunk to the wall. This two-piece system isn't as desirable as a wall-mount charger, but is better than nothing.
There is a little internal memory included on the Olympus Stylus 1000, but it isn’t enough to save many 10-megapixel shots at all. The camera has 28.5 MB of internal memory, but has a slot for an optional xD-Picture card. Olympus requires a branded card for the panorama function to work, and cards up to 2 GB can be accepted. A memory card is required to create print orders and sort pictures into albums too. With the high resolution, the camera takes a lot of processing time. The back of the camera has a red LED that blinks when writing to the memory; this will hurt your eyes and drive you crazy. Shop for the Olympus Stylus 1000

Nikon Coolpix L810 First Impressions Review
Nikon’s L810 is a AA-powered ultrazoom that somehow manages 26x for under $300. Some cost-cutting efforts have certainly been made, and controls are quite simplified, but for the right user this could be an ideal camera. Read More...
