My Review 

This particular Olympus camera is the best digital camera in its class. Solid construction and amazing electronic structure. The outer case is tough and seemingly scratch proof. Takes first class photos, and downloads are excellent. Does not eat the life out of batteries.

Movie clips can be performed. I would recommend Olympus Imaging to NASA, and any other entity that is involved with anything to do with digital imaging, on this planet or any other planet.
