Poor Durability, and poor customer service
|
I was given this camera as a Christmas gift last year. It took good quality photos at the time(not the best at enlargement but good for computer use, and 5x7 photo prints), it was compact, and easily portable. At Thanksgiving this year (So about 11 months after I received it), I took it down off the shelf to take photos, but all of the photos had horizontal lines through them. I switched the battery, tried new memory, and it was still having problems. I searched online and found that I definitely wasn't the only one.
I called olympus and they told me that it was under warranty, but they could only give me a warranty repair if I provided the original purchase receipt or credit statement. I told them that I got it as a gift, and they told me that I needed to go to the person who gave me the gift, and get a receipt from them, or a statement. I went to the person who gave me the gift, and they no longer had the receipt (of course), and had canceled the credit card that they had bought it with. They called the CC company, and they would send him a mailed statement but it would take 2-4 weeks to recieve, and then even if he priority mailed it to me, it would take another 3-5 days to get that, *and* there was no guarantee that Olympus would take it, because multiple items were purchased in that transaction at his local Best Buy. By the point that I got the statement, the camera would be out of warranty. I'm really frustrated with Olympus because of the lack of customer support, and the lack of durability with the camera. |
