User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great little camera
So far so good. This is my 4th Olympus camera and it is very user friendly, small and reasonably priced. My only wish is for it to have a larger zoom but this will increase the size of the camera itself. Highly recommend.
I suggest you buy an extra battery for long trips/use. I have three but two will be also good.
5 Stars Excellent choice - great photos right out of the box.
The Olympus 1200 camera takes great photos right out of the box and will take spectacular photographs after applying the knowledge found in it’s easy to read manual. Even without the manual and using only the easy onboard guide that the camera presents, your photos will be sharp and clear.
It’s my opinion that those that have posted a negative response to this camera have left their posts prior to owning the camera for any length of time and learning its easy features.
In an earlier review someone stated that even a baby can use it. I won’t say a baby can use it, but I know for a fact that a five-year-old was able to take super photos, and we have the prints to prove it.
For those that are not aware, buying a higher mega pixel camera does not increase sharpness, it only means that the prints may be made larger or cropped without losing as much clarity. If you plan to make reprints no larger than 8×10 the very highest you need is a 8MB camera.
This camera, at 12MB is mostly being used to make huge poster size prints. We are very happy with the sharpness and overall results of the Olympus 1200.

4 Stars olympus stylus 1200 12MP digital camera with 3X optical zoom
I can’t say myself as this was purchased for some friends in England. They seem quite pleased with it, however. I would like to see an additional review box for gifts. You can’t really rate it yourself, but you can pass on others’ comments.
5 Stars wonderful
