Greetings all. I wanted to divulge my site - http://www.olympuscheatedme.com - which describes the latest in a long line of problems with Olympus-brand cameras.
My wife and I received an Olympus C-5060 WZ camera as a wedding gift. It was great for the first couple of months that we had it, but, inevitably, we were doomed with the mode dial defect that joins these and the C-5050 models. I sent it back to Olympus in January and they "fixed" it. Unfortunatly, it didn't work when they shipped it back to me (not even for one photo). So, like a nice guy, I spent the cash to ship it ALL THE WAY FROM AFRICA to the USA for more repairs. After a month's delay, they sent me a letter that says they're holding it for hostage unless I pay $244.65 for "damage". It was never even fixed the first time. And, yes, the camera is still under warranty. This problem is well documented in reviews and other websites, but Olympus has yet to accept it as a manufacturer's defect.
Please let me know if you've had similar experiences with Olympus.:angry:
Cheers,
Jonathan aka Mr. Mozambique
