Question: How good is the battery life?
Document: I bought this camera for my wife for Christmas.This camera is fast and very user friendly. It takes wonderful indoor pictures with or without using the flash. Outdoor pictures have been limited due to the winter weather, but what I have taken so far turned out great. It is fast enough to catch the grandkids doing what they do, and they are quite quick little buggers.The battery life is quite good.
Does it come close to my old SLR Olympus for pix clarity and quality? No. However, for a camera under $230, I'm amazed at the quality it does have, as well as the simplicity of use, long battery life, quick picture taking, quiet & quick zoom for pic and video taking, great macro, surprisingly good low light pics, and simply the over all quality of pics (if not looking to close at a picture on your editing software).
The positive Amazon reviews sold me on this camera. I agree with every positive review, as well as the cautionary notes about battery life. That's why I also purchased a spare battery and charger. The quality of the pictures is phenomenal for a camera in this price range, and the zoom feature works extrtememly well, allowing me to capture photos of birds at my feeders that I never thought I'd get with a P&S camera
I bought from a Consumers Reports recommendation; for image quality, flash, and fast camera startup. It has it all.I actually bought a package for a few more dollars with extra battery, mini tripod, memory card, case. Look around, I think this was a good package.
This camera takes very good photos. I usually use it in the auto mode, but there are lots of manual setups you can use. It is very light, has lots of zoom (you need a tripod as in all cameras when you zoom pretty far out), and the image stabilization is very good. The internal memory is small but you can insert an SD card. The battery lasts awhile but I recommend you buy an extra battery and charger.
I'm not optimistic about that hinge lasting the useful life of the camera.
Very pleased with the performance of this camera. Great price and pictures are great! I have owned Olympus most of my life and this product goes over  expect ions .
The camera is easy to use and the display is great. Takes great pictures! I like the rechargeable battery and it uses a SD card which makes it easy to download pictures. Really worth the price.
Great Camera for all weather conditions - took it on a 150 mile -40 trip in Denali on snow machine - battery power and picture quality  - beyond my expectations - great point and shoot camera.
I am spoiled to my Canon's spring latch, so I have to be VERY careful when loading the battery into the Olympus. And as will most digital cameras, the door hinges on the compartments for the ports are very delicate/tricky, but if you are sufficiently patient/careful, they aren't a problem.All in all, my husband feels that this is one of the most satisfying purchases that he has ever made. He recommends this camera without hesitation.
Answer: It's been very good - maybe a bit better than other cameras I've had.  I did buy a back up battery just to be on the safe side (very inexpensive and offered by Amazon when you buy the camera).  Just so that if I'm on vacation I will have a back up battery.  I can't give you specifics as so far I've not been on a vacation for example, where I might use it all the time.  But I've taken hundreds of fall photos and some special occasions and think I haven't charged the camera more than 2 or 3 times in the 2 months I've had it.  I've used it almost daily as I take it with me on walks with the dog.  Hope this helps.  It is the nicest camera I've had.  Really delighted with it.
