Great little camera...for a year. We bought this for our kids to use, but ended up using it ourselves. We liked the compact size, that it was all-weather and it took decent pictures. We stopped using our better, larger camera...until we started experiencing the dreaded slider issue. Just after the warranty ended the camera started turning off at random -- we discovered that any little bump or nudge to the slide cover will shut the camera off. And it's nearly impossible to hold the camera without touching the slider. We were quoted a price of $89. + tax + shipping for an authorized Olympus repair, but we'll probably opt to purchase a new camera without the slide cover.
