Reviews of the Olympus Stylus 1000

CNET Review
The Good: Decent image quality at low sensitivity; helpful low-light features.
The Bad: Noisy at high sensitivity; distinct purple fringing; sluggish; burst and high-ISO modes only shoot at half-resolution or lower.
The Bottom Line: This small 10-megapixel shooter can produce great shots if the scene is well lit, but watch out for noise at about ISO 200.
Manufacturer: Olympus America Inc.
Part number: 225855
