I got my big camera back! And it’s working! Back LCD screen all flat and folded in, and it shows an image! And the lens was repaired as well.

I’m super pleased with the Olympus service experience. Smooth, no surprises, stuff works.

I’ve also been mostly pleased with the photos I’ve been able to get with my camera phone. As long as I take its limitations into account (must have good lighting, absolutely no zooming) the results are not bad at all.

I do get annoyed by all the automatic adjustments it makes, though – it’s impossible to get consistent exposure and white balance even between photos in a single session. Like the ones above. The camera sees a light gray package in one photo, and a dark camera in another, and tries to even things out, and the same single table ends up looking like four entirely different ones (unless I spend a lot of time fixing them afterwards).
