Opinion: I've been fairly impressed with the camera, the image quality is excellent, and they snuck in "movie" mode on top everything else.
Battery life seems to be pretty good. I almost always use the LCD display to frame images, and I've found that I can use the camera almost all day with one set of fully charged NiMH batteries.
Problems: 1. "movie" mode records in quicktime format (as aposed to mpeg or AVI format, that would be easier to edit), and doesn't include sound (no microphone)
2. When the batteries are run down, there is little warning before the cammera shuts down... Basically it reports that they have a "full" charge until they're basically near completely discharged.
3. The lens cap comes off too easily, and the camera comes with no way to attach it... I ended up glueing a string to the cap and fastening it to the metal strap loop on the side of the camera.
4. It's just a little too big to fit in my pocket ;-) Oh, well, maybe my next camera will be smaller...
Opinion: I've been an enthusiast of film photography for many years. After much debate, I chose the Olympus C-2020z as my first digital camera. I'm pleased with my choice. I found the camera to be easy to use, while offering many creative features. The bottom line with any camera is the quality of the images. I've been impressed with results I'm getting.
Problems: None, so far.
Opinion: Quality of image in all light situations has been excellent.
Battery consumption is low. The USB card reader by Olympus is great.
Opinion: Very Easy to use and figure out... I did not open the manual once and I know how to totally work it after about 3 hours of tinkering around. Even my wife who does not know much of anything about cameras, yet alone digital cameras, easy figured out how to turn it on and take some great pictures with it.
Problems: The shutter release button fell off but I was able to pop it back on... And if you accidentally open the SmartMedia card door while it is writing a large picture (TIFF) you'll completely lose the shot... It should be stored in the buffer... That's about all though.
