Description of Olympus STYVERVES / Stylus Verve :

Records video clips with audio. One-year warranty. Model OLY-STYLUSVERVE.

With its slide-away lens cover and aerodynamic design, it's clear at first sight that the Stylus Verve is not just another digital camera shoved into a bulky 35mm point-and-shoot's case. In fact, it's a powerful, easy-to-use, four-megapixel wonder that features a large 1.8-inch LCD display that's viewable even in full sunlight. The Stylus Verve even comes in six colors: blue, red, silver, white, black, and red.
Optics and Resolution
The Stylus Verve features a four-megapixel CCD imager, which can gather enough information to create images approximately as large as 1,714 by 2,286 pixels. In other words, you'll be able to make photo-quality prints of your pictures at sizes up to 11 by 15 inches. The camera's 2x optical zoom lens--equivalent to a 35-70mm lens on a film camera--combines with a 4x digital zoom to simulate the power of an 8x zoom lens, but only at lower resolution settings.

Movie Mode
The Stylus Verve can capture short video clips with sound in the movie mode setting. This feature won't likely persuade anyone to abandon their camcorder, but it is a fun and convenient way to capture movement while you're out taking pictures. The amount of video the Stylus Verve can store is limited only by the amount of memory available.

More Camera Features
Virtual Mode Dial with 10+ shooting modes 1.8-inch semi-transmissive LCD 130k pixel TFT) for taking and viewing pictures (no optical viewfinder) PictBridge enabled -- print directly to any PictBridge-compatible printer, with or without a computer Semi-Transmissive TFT LCD's are multi layered, which allows the image on the LCD to be viewed in direct sunlight situations. Quick View button allows you to review the shot you just took.

Image Processor
The TruePic Turbo image processor enhances color fidelity (the range of color, saturation, and brightness), signal-to-noise response (relationship of accurate electrical signals to unwanted signals like static disturbances creating noise), and high-resolution image clarity (sharpness) over other image processors while speeding up image data processing times. The end result is clearer and more color-accurate photos and noticeably faster startup and shot-to-shot recycle times.

Power
The Stylus Verve is powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery

Olympus Stylus Verve Digital camera user reviews

"Olympus Stylus Verve Digital camera,Very functional and easy to use. The picture quality is excellent. The numerous modes for taking pictures is awesome. From being able to use it behind glass, at night, with beach or snow backgrounds, this is the only camera I have found that has 14 modes. The video quality is good also. For $300, you won't find a better digital camera. The battery is a little annoying as there appears to be no way to save date etc. when you have to take out the battery to charge it. "

"First, Olympus as a company does not sell any of the verves cameras at a seprate price structure. The Prices venders pay for the cameras are exactly the same, so if you see different prices for different colors then the vendor is setting those prices. Just look at Amazon every color is the same price. As far as bad picture issues my Verve is great! The pictures are awesome and look really good on the LCD screen. Compaired to some of these small LCD screen cameras, I can see everything in great detail. I really dont se how you could take a bad picture with this camera. Plus, as far as awkwardness, I find the camera very easy to use. I can take a picture and zoom in and out and switch between movie picture and play back modes with one hand! Im again dont understand how it could be awkward when everything is so easy. "

"There are a lot of great digital cameras on the market, and when comparing features and functions they all start to look pretty much the same. Unless you're a hardcore photographer you probably won't even use half of the functions on your camera anyway. As far as technical specs, the Verve is comparable to a lot of other cameras in it's price range, but what makes it so cool is the way it feels in your hand. I know that sounds silly, but it's true. You have to actually see and touch this camera to get the full effect. It's about the size of a cell phone, so I can fit it in my jeans pocket (which makes such a big difference in terms of how often I actually USE a camera), yet it doesn't have the chintzy plastic feel of so many other cameras. It feels really solid and has lots of nifty dials and buttons. Okay, so these probably aren't the qualities you buy a digital camera for, but they are the qualities that make you LOVE your digital camera. Because it also takes great pictures, and it's extremely easy to use. I highly recommend the Verve. "

"To begin with - i am definetly not a digital camera savvy person but i can tell you when a picture is good or not and that is what i expect from a camera.

This one is very sleek looking & is amazing in its simplicity. It has the basic functions you need to take pics, review them and take make small movies. You don't need to be a techie or open a manual for this. I have to say that outdoor pics are GREAT. I have to underline this b/c i saw people complaining in reviews about picture quality. My pics were mostly outside so i am not quite sure about pic quality in dimly lit rooms or at night but day pics are amazing.

"I got this Olympus Stylus Verve Digital camera as a supplimentary camera to my nicer Fuji. What I wanted was something that could easily and confortably fit in my pocket, instead of having to have a camera around my neck all the time. The size and form factor is excellent for this; it feels no bigger then a cell phone in your pocket.
Picture quality is great. Pictures are crisp and clear. Macro mode takes very detailed close-ups.
It would be nice to have more then 2X zoom, but that is what my bigger camera is for, so no big deal.
A note the date being retained when the battery is removed. The date is only lost if the battery is out for a period of time. I got an extra battery off eBay (way cheaper then what is offered on Amazon) and on a swap out, the time and date stays. There is probably a capacitor on the memory that keeps this setting. This cap can only provide power to the memory for so long before needing a recharge. Get an extra battery off eBay for $10, problem solved.
For the money, this is an excellent sidekick to your primary camera. "
