The Verve employs a new circular lens barrier that tucks away inside the camera body with a satisfying snap when the power is turned on, and protects it by creating a durable, impermeable seal from the elements when closed. The camera comes to life with a start-up sound of either a sports car engine, a pleasing chime or a lively electronic "Whew!" as well as a customizable start-up image on the LCD. The Verve also has three different catchy shutter sounds to choose from. Atop the camera's body is a unique rotating mode dial that spins to set the camera to take pictures, record movies or review images taken.

Stylus Verve: Neat little camera
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Camera takes good quality pictures. The display is bright and fluid. All-weather design
Cons: Only 2x zoom, uses xD memory costly than CF & SD type, average battery life
When looking for a digital I had two criteria Compact size & good picture output which the Verve had. At 3.74 x 2.18 x 1.08 inch it's small and fits comfortably in you shirt and pants pockets.
The images are very good for this class of compact camera (if you want excellent image quality than look at the mid and large size cameras). The images are clear and good with very little corner blurriness and no purple fringe. The white balance was very good most of the time, images had overall good color. Don't just take my word for it look at the sample pics at various camera review sites and compare them to the Canon SD300 or the Pentax S4/4i (all are 4MP and compact camera with similar price). IMHO the SD300 had a soft misty image at times and purple fringe which was why I purchased the Verve over the SD300. Overall the Olympus Verve is a good compact point & shoot camera.
