DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!! [Posted on 2007-07-03] The battery cover lock broke and now it won't take pictures. I contacted Olympus to order just the cover so I can repair it, and the repair dept. has the parts but they wont sell the parts to consumers. But for about $100, I can send them the camera and they can repair it for me. It costs a little over $100 for the camera I and refuse to pay the same for the repair of the lock. Olympus was apologetic, but not going to be helpful. I am stuck with a non functional camera due to just a broken lock.
BEWARE!!
Same latch trouble!! [Posted on 2007-08-14] I agree with several of the people who have written in here. I have used the camera for a grand total of maybe 2 weeks and it is hitting me with the "Card cover open" message mentioned in other reviews and it will not do anything else. The small button one needs to push to eject the memory card broke the first time I ejected the card, and as you have read from other reviews here, they will fix it, but for about $100. On to a better camera. Olympus has lost my business as well! AVOID THIS CAMERA.

camera [Posted on 2007-09-10] Hi, I got this camera & really love it. One problem though, when I got a memory card, I saw the writing that says 'push to eject' & what looked like a button. Well I pressed it really hard & broke something off & got the 'card cover open' message. I then realized that you are supposed to push the memory card itself, not this other thing.
I took to a camera shop I found online. The guy told me it would be expensive to really fix it but that he could 'rig it up' & be just as good. I was shocked when he did it for nothing.
Anyways, I am happy with this camera just wish I had read the manual about the memory card as I have never used one before. I have the FE-140 but it i almost identical to this & mine is 6 megapixels, not 5.
nice camera [Posted on 2008-01-20] This is a great camera. The red eye fix option is a lifesaver. I still can't get used to the delay but I suppose digital will always be this way.
