I bought this camera mostly to take sports shots. Forget it if it is at night under bright lights or in a gym. It is nothing but distorted blurs.
In daylight it works great. I've got wonderful football shots in that specific setting. How disappointing not to be able to use it in any other setting though.
Even in my home I get waaaaaaaay too many distorted shots. Olympus is useless as far as help goes.
With perfect conditions and a little luck I have been able to print up amazing crystal clear shots into 8x10's. The zoom is wonderful. I was able to get an amazing shot of my son catching the football about 75 yards away. I made it into a 8x10 and it looks like a professional took it.
Problems:
The flash is horrible. Use it and half the time it washes everything out or if you are taking a night pick it is dim.
Don't use it and you'll get distorted blurs.
Very very frustrating.
