Duration of ownership: 1 Years

Strengths: Sharp pictures, long battery life. Can take pictures from any angle: ground-level shot of a puppy or high picture of a crowd.

Weaknesses:Reliabilty & long life of the camera is a big issue.

Overall Evaluation: Its a great camera, sharp pictures, long battery life. I took ~ 250 shots on a single charge and life still left. After about a year, it starts acting up. I think its sensitive to humidity, the lens gets noisy, and the camera became non-functional. Lucky me, I got the extended warranty at the last minute, and if you still have time, get the extended warranty.

Duration of ownership: 1 Years

Strengths: Lot of great features for the advanced amateur

Weaknesses:Does not work after a year and a half

Overall Evaluation: Takes great pictures when it works. The control and arrow dials do not work after 15 months. Very poor software. Do not buy this camera unless you are prepared to spend an additional $170.00 for repairs within 15 months.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months

Strengths:

Weaknesses:Horrible customer service.

Overall Evaluation: DO NOT BUY!Olympus has a problem w/ part# VC7997 on these cameras that causes menus to pop up on LCD w/o touching buttons and buttons stop working. Numerous people are complaining about this problem on the Internet - go to yahoo groups, Olympus_405080. Olympus needs to recall camera. Mine worked fine for almost 3 months before problem arose so don't think yours won't fail.

Duration of ownership: 1 Months

Strengths: GREAT PICTURE QUALITY (even in low-light conditions), fast start-up, swiveling LCD, nice to handle, manual setting options

Weaknesses:disappointing software (well, i purchased the product not because of this)

Overall Evaluation: Great pictures! That's all what matters really why one buys a camera. I have been eyeing the Olympus-C4000 and the Sony Cybershot P9 for more than a year now but the battery life, low-light condition pics, and not so great pic quality of the cybershot was a turn off :( The C-4000 only has 4.1 MP quality, and the lens (cylinder moving according to some reviews) again were turn-offs :(So I finally decided to get the C-5060 (yes, I stuck to the Olympus brand) and i made the right choice! Great pic quality! The wide zoom lens is also nice, I can take a picture of our whole family inside a van not having to move backward and finding a good position to shoot! Great position of buttons for manual shooting settings! If you are intimidated by those buttons, fear not! You can always use the default settings and have great pictures! And besides, the cd has a manual clearly describing all the uses of those buttons and you can shoot like a pro in no time! You have to be patient browsing the manual though. But it's well worth the time! The LCD is great! And the battery is good for around 450 shots (with LCD turned on)! By the way, the Sony P9 lasts just around 80 shots, no-contest really.The camera is also very tough (fell from a table the 3rd day i bought it and no dents, working just fine)!!! The video's great too! And you can have a good grip on the camera because of its shape and the material of the casing. Well, you can buy those models with metallic casing and look cool holding your new digital camera. Or you can choose the C-5060 while looking (and shooting) like a pro.
