General Comments

DO NOT BUY OLYMPUS C-5060 DIGITAL CAMERA!
Olympus has a problem with part# VC7997 on these cameras that causes menus to pop up on LCD without 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 the camera. Mine worked fine for almost 3 months before the problem arose so don't think yours won't fail.

    I have had my Olympus C5060 - worked great for the 1st year- 2 weeks out of warranty the mode dial problem showed up. I have been using it for underwater photos and got great shots - but this problem ruined an upcoming dive trip. Olympus wants about $180 to fix it - but they would not issue me an estimate of any repairs. I have been emailing and calling Olympus since last June (2005) and have again sent it in to be fixed (it is a defect seems to me) I'll pay.. use it till it gives out and never buy olympus again. I am sure other digital products have flaws/defects - but the customer service I have received has been minimal at best. I do like the pics it has taken though!
