4.0 out of 5 stars Great compact camera, but heavy on the battery use
When using the recommended film (400), this camera takes excellent pictures. It is also lightweight and simple to use. However, i changed batteries 3 times in a 3 week period when i took 9 rolls of 24. I think that is a little excessive. If you are willing to keep spare batteries in your case, then go ahead and buy this great camera.

2.0 out of 5 stars battery eater
i bought this camera on vacation, after realizing i left my medium format on the plane. i always wanted a point & shoot and spent a while trying different ones out. the things i liked about this model were: very silent zoom, red eye reduction, ability to override flash and the compact size. all in all this olympus took decent pictures. however i returned it...

This review is from: Olympus Accura Zoom 80S QD Date 35mm Camera (Electronics)
i bought this camera on vacation, after realizing i left my medium format on the plane. i always wanted a point & shoot and spent a while trying different ones out. the things i liked about this model were: very silent zoom, red eye reduction, ability to override flash and the compact size. all in all this olympus took decent pictures. however i returned it after 2 weeks of use because i only shot 3 rolls of film, but had to replace the aa batteries 3 times! i'd loose "power" when the most odd, picture-worthy things came along - very frustrating. the manual says 1 set of batteries should last roughly 7 rolls...not so.

the AA batteries go out with one roll on average.. this is such a disadvantage...i also have an Olympus Stylus 70 mm and it takes much better pictures...it is clearear by a longshot... don't invest in this camera ... pay up a little for picutres you'll treasure for a lifetime..

This product is of moderate capabilities. It's a comfortable fit for beginners and intermediates alike. I wouldn't recommend using this camera for other purposed than pictures on vacation.
