    just put "Olympus X-42 digital Camera" into google, plenty of sites to look at


    sorry just had a look and all the reviews are for 10x42 binoculars. If its any use to you I have had an Olympus digital camera for about 5 years and it has been excellent.

    Argos generally has a lot of reviews but in this case none. I had a quick look but couldnt find any.

    But if it helps i have the PANASONIC DMC-TZ6EB-K and its amazing. Have a look on Comet £219. Best camera ever!

    Regards,

    I looked but couldn't find any reviews either. Someone has to be first I suppose.
    Try saying "I have under-a-pound in my wallet" and listen to people react!

    Hi,

    I was also looking for reviews for this camera as well - but couldn't find any ... but Argos are selling it for £69.99, which seems a good value, as amazon have it for £89.99.

    The OlympusX42 is not released till Saturday. You can order on line as I have and can pick up between Wednesday and Saturday..
    Only available at Argos,
    If you want any accessories for it go to Play or Amazon 4GB card £6.17.
    Hope this helped.

    Great camera bought with 1/2 price 4 Gb mini sd card (£9.99p)
    Comes with batteries , PC leads , software etc

    Nice camera ,the only petty thing I can say is that the basic operation/ user manual is really basic & if your just starting on these types of camera`s it may be a problem as it does`nt explain everything .
    Even so still worth it

    Thanks GIS. I too have been looking for a review on it or alternatively the Fuji A180 which is a similar price in Argos, but can't find anything on either. Lack of a clear manual may be a problem as I'm a complete klutz with anything technical!

    Spoke too soon. Just spotted a review on theanswerbank site and it looks quite good to me. At present I can't put a link but google will no doubt come to your rescue.
