Those cameras are often called "scameras" because that's what they are. A SCAM. Most of the Amazon reviews are typically fake on such products. Aside from the fact that the resolution alone is one of the most useless ways of evaluating the image quality of a camera, it is honestly better to only buy cameras from real and reputable brands like Sony, Lumix, Canon, Nikon, etc. There are many great deals on the used market and you will most certainly find much better cameras there. A company with a real name like "Olympus" has a reputation to loose but if you take a camera like this one without any name at all, the company doesn't ever have to care about making a decent product because they have nothing to loose. (yes, some brands have also been purchased by other brands which just slap reputable names on crap products like Minolta in some cases nowadays but those should be easily avoidable) Hope this helps a bit.
It does help, thank you. I have high end Sony and Canon camcorders. I just wanted to try a DSLR camera. I did try again though with another that has good reviews. Also comes with a good quality wide angle lens from Japan. I'll do another review for this camera. Thank you for the comment and have a happy new year!

That’s disappointing. Keep trying you’ll find one eventually.
Thank you! I ordered another One with better reviews.
