Is the Olympus SP-610UZ worth buying used?

For nearby Olympus options, compare Olympus SP-600 UZ and Olympus SP-620 UZ.
How do you transfer photos from the Olympus SP-610UZ?

Olympus SP-610UZ is worth judging as its own Olympus SP ultra-zoom compact body, not just as a generic old compact. Start with condition, the exact battery/card setup, and whether its look fits what you want to shoot.
What owners like
Olympus SP-610UZ works best when you want simple snapshots, direct flash, and the relaxed character people look for in older digital compacts rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm) CCD and 28-616 mm equivalent, F3.3-5.7 are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
What to compare
Compare it with Olympus SP-810 UZ, Olympus SP-600 UZ, Olympus SH-21, Olympus VG-110 to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
