Compared to the street value listed, I paid around $120 for an open box of the Olympus Stylus 400. For that price, it's not a bad camera, it's rather inexpensive, lightweight, easy to pack in your bookbag or purse. I liked the sleek design, the cover slides to the side and the camera turns on. It made for a nice feature and the weatherproofing was a plus.
However, I wasn't impressed with the colors of the picture. The clarity seemed good (at least compared to the panasonic I had). Sometimes on zooming the photos would come out blurry. I did take a few nice shots of landscapes, some close ups of butterflies on flowers which came out really well.
Problems:
The biggest complaint is the lag time in taking a photograph. I would click the button and have to wait nearly ten seconds for a photo to snap. If you wanted another photo, it would take an additional 16 to 20 seconds.
The colors seemed slightly off, using a editing software like Photoshop would certainly help.
The wrist strap would occasionally get in the way of photos, not very often but a few times.
