Best Olympus Stylus VG-180 16-Megapixel 5X 26mm Wide Optical Zoom 2.7 Inch LCD - Black
This is My Opinion About This Product
After I buy this New Olympus Stylus VG-180 16-Megapixel 5X 26mm Wide Optical Zoom 2.7 Inch LCD - Black (Camera)
I originally had my doubts about this particular model, mainly due to the price. I can firmly say that upon receiving it, the camera is comparable to other entry-level cameras at a fraction of the price. Overall, here are the pros/cons:
+++ PROS +++
1) LOW COST
You will NOT find another digital camera that is even halfway decent for $50.
2) SIMPLE CONTROLS
The camera seems to cater to people who want minimal controls. Instead of having tons of different "modes" the camera reminds me more of a "point-and-shoot" from back in the day.
3) EASY TO LEARN
Due to the lack of options available, this camera is very easy to learn quickly.
4) DECENT RESOLUTION
For the money, the camera takes very good shots at a higher resolution than older models you can obtain for the same price. The auto-balancing works well and white balance/exposure are set for you.
---------------------
--- CONS ---
1) LACKS ADVANCED FUNCTIONALITY
If you're looking for a camera with different shooting modes (sports, night time, etc), this camera is not for you. It has very few options, and even fewer buttons. Think of it as a "no frills" quick point-and-shoot camera.
2) SMALL BATTERY
The battery is quite small, and using the mechanical zoom often will drain it somewhat quickly.
3) BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED INTERNALLY
My biggest complaint was that the battery needed to be charged inside the camera as opposed to more expensive models that come with a separate charger. I'm afraid that using the USB port so much (for power and exporting photos) will eventually cause it to break over time.
--------------
Overall, this camera is so low in cost that you could purchase multiple quantities and have them around for moments when you need them (accidents, UFO sightings, bigfoot, etc). If you're looking for a simple digital camera, or would like to get one for your kid with minimal investment, Look no further.
