This model is very poor by Olympus standards. Difficult to set eyepieces to proper width and focus. Not recommended for wildlife viewing.

Olympus Li - 12B Battery for Olympus Mju Series , C-50Z

from: Olympus

July 21, 2004
I found these details and thought it might be helpful to others who might have problems with the initial charging:

"A new OLYMPUS LI-12B battery usually maintains a discharged condition with very low capacity. It is highly recommended to fully charge new LI-12B battery packs before using. You can refer to the users' guide of your electronic device for charging instructions.
A new OLYMPUS Digital Camera Battery pack needs to be circled (fully discharged and recharged) three to five times to reach its optimum performance.
Rechargeable LI-12B Camera Battery will undergo self-discharging when left unused for a long period of time. Thus, it should always be stored in a fully charged state and kept in a cool, dry and clean ... Read More:

Olympus LS10 Linear PCM Recorder 2GB

from: Olympus


Spent a lot of time researching the web for a Digital Recorder to use for work. Need a device that is simple to use, has a long battery life, is well made and compact. This Olympus certainly fits the bill for me. I use it primarily for recording conversations amongst groups of people - and it really excels.

With the 8GB SD card that comes as part of the bundle - there is masses of storage.

In contrast to the other reviewer (and this may depend on expectaions) - the sound quality is very good. I have used a Sony Pro Walkman up until now - and this easily exceeds anything I can get with that - even without using an external mike. Picks-up minimal background noise - and even on the lower quality audio settings - everything ... Read More:

Olympus 12 x 25 PC I Silver Binocular

from: Olympus

September 28, 2005
These binoculars are great for general use. As there were no previous reviews on Amazon, I researched it on other websites and ordered it through Amazon, being the cheapest of course! Even though there was no mention of a protective case on the product description, I can confirm that it is supplied with one. The binoculars are very light and comfy to hold and the eyepieces are adjustable in depth for either spectacle wearers or non specky people.

Olympus E-520 DSLR Camera with 14-42mm & 40-150mm lenses

from: Olympus

June 19, 2008
Most people like to rave about the kit they buy. Cognitive dissonance! Let's be impartial. I've used the E520 for a month after buying through Amazon. It's a competitive camera in its price range. The compromises are all about the Four Thirds standard. Shorter focal lengths (half those of 35mm film cameras) go towards lighter weight and very good zoom range effectively 28mm - 300mm in 35mm equivalent with the two kit lenses. But also a smaller sensor for the megapixels with consequent noise problems to manage. You have to study the manual to get the best out of the E520. The most useful online review is of its immediate predecessor the E510, in dpreview.com. Olympus' compromise has been to add strong automatic noise reduction which makes for softer, ... Read More:

Olympus Mju 850SW Digital Camera - Midnight Black (8.0MP, 3x Digital Zoom), 2.5" LCD

from: Olympus

January 24, 2008
This camera was fine until used for snorkelling for the first time when it packed up after taking a few rather poor shots .It was bought just over a year ago so I fear it may be out of warranty but looking at other Olympus reviews it would have failed had I used it a few weeks earlier.
I doubt I will buy Olympus again
