My hubby bought it online via Letsbuy.com and it took them 5 working days to deliver it through our doorstep. Now I won’t be reviewing about the delivery but the camera itself. I was really excited to receive the newly digital camera because our previous camera which is Kodak Easy Share C653 got soaked in the rain and it did not work anymore. Anyway, going back to the new camera which is lighter in weight, pigmented red in color and is very easy to navigate, I did charge it for one and a half hours only because the lamp light turned off which indicates that the camera is ready.

There are lots of advantages that I can see on using Olympus VG 120 Red. I like how clear my images are because it is 14 mega pixels. I am not a professional photographer but I have a passion to take pictures and learn more about photography and this camera will be the basic or fundamental of understanding ISO, Shutter speed and Aperture. I like how they have incorporated such that even if I don’t own yet a DSLR, I can start with this one and start developing my skills in photography.
Olympus VG-120 Red can be zoomed 5x wide with 720p High density video recording and is slick and easy to carry. It comes with CD software that you can install in your pc to better understand the features of the camera which later on I will try and it has a free 4GB (Kingston) memory card aside from the pouch to protect the camera.
The free camera strap helps you to grip the camera since it is light so the tendency is that it may slip off your hand, so just be careful of using such slim digital cameras. I really like this point and shoot Olympus VG-120 which has 26mm wide angle lens and is also good in taking group pictures and sceneries with 3 inches screen good for seeing the previews of what you have just captured.
It also offers 14 scene sample modes based on shooting situation like documents, beach & snow, pet, portrait, landscape, night scene, night+ portrait, sport, indoor, candle, self portrait, sunset, fireworks and cuisine. It also has 7 magic effects when you take pictures such as Pop art, pin hole, fish eye, drawing, soft focus, punk and sparkle. Who would forget panoramic style, it is also included here.
I also commend on the video recording which is also clear at 720p of course. I may now use it on my blog whenever I wanted to take pictures or video clips of the topics that I wanted to post. About the price, well we bought it at Rs 5,699 or almost Rs 5,700 which is also equivalent to $ 129.52 which I still find affordable and practical for digital camera enthusiasts.
The only thing which I notice is that the cable for charging is really short, but as for me it won’t be a big issue. I also experience some static shock when I first plug it to charge and at the same time I was viewing some pictures on our old memory card. My hand wasn’t wet but the metal on the side of the cam did really something on my finger that I really turned the cam off while charging it. Anyway, be extra careful and read the instructions on the manual book on how to take care of your digital camera. I will rate this camera 8 out of 10 as the highest.
