Olympus VG-170
The Olympus VG-170 features the combination of a 1/2.3"-type, 14 effective megapixel RGB CCD image sensor and an Olympus-branded 5x optical zoom lens, which offers a 35mm-equivalent range from a useful 26mm wide-angle to a moderate 130mm telephoto.

Olympus VG-170
The first thing we thought of when we saw the Olympus VG-170 was "look at the size of that flash!" It dominates the front of the camera even more than the large lens barrel that houses the 5x optical zoom.

Olympus VG-170 review Review
The VG-170 certainly looks the part, and it's keenly priced too. When put to the test though, the necessary compromises in a 14-megapixel camera that costs just £80 sadly came to the fore.
Pros:
- Inexpensive
- 3D shooting mode
Cons:
- Disappointing picture quality in shadows
- Below-par video performance

For £79.99 this is a great buy - can't agree with your review at all. If you want top quality images ay higher sensitivity settings, go buy an DSLR - this is designed for the point and shoot user who doesn't have the time, know how or inclination to adjust aperture/shutter/ISO settings etc.
Pros:
- Size
- flash
- internal battery charging
- 3D option and price
Cons:
- Nothing at this price

Olympus VG-170 Digital Camera Review
Do not be fooled by the Olympus VG-170 inexpensive RRP of ??? as it contains some great features like 3D mode and the most powerful flash in the Olympus "Smart" range that would, based on these features justify its purchase alone.

Pros:
- Packed with features
- Cheap
- Easy to use
- Large
- high resolution screen
- Wide 26mm lens
Cons:
- Basic image quality isn't great
- Many images have cold colour cast
- Few Magic Filters add value
- Needs fewer features but better execution
