I bought an Olympus Stylus 710 impulsively without checking its reviews, and soon I shall be returning it. Why? Because the image quality is simply garbage.
The camera looks great and images look perfect in its 2.5" LCD screen. However, the actual image once transferred is simply horrible. It's decent in outdoor settings, however, indoors the quality is miserable. It doesn't have much in the way of manual controls, so not much can be done to correct the problem.
I'm debating whether to buy a Fujifilm FinePix F30 (Steves) or Canon Powershot A700 (Steves) to replace it.
