Amazon.com Product Description
With the Stylus 410, Olympus adds improvements and refinements to its popular all-weather Stylus 400. This 4-megapixel digital camera still features a 3x optical zoom and a splash-proof design that protects the camera even on rainy days. But it also adds an all-weather microphone for movies with audio and Olympus's new TruePic Turbo image processor, which speeds up the camera's start-up, shutter lag, recording and playback time.

Optics and Resolution
Featuring a 4.0-megapixel CCD sensor, the Stylus 410 delivers images up to 2,272 x 1,704 pixels and photo-quality 11 x 14-inch enlargements. It also features 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, 1024 x 768, and 640 x 480 resolution modes. An Olympus 3x optical zoom (and 4x digital zoom for a seamless 12x total) gives you the ability to fill your pictures with sharp detail and vibrant color. The high-quality, all-glass lens (with aspherical lens elements) is specially designed for digital cameras, and provides a focal range of 5.8-17.4mm (35-105mm equivalent in 35mm photography).

Movie Mode
The Stylus 410 now adds sound to its movie-making capabilities (thanks to its all-weather microphone). You can record video at 15 frames per second (fps) in two resolution modes: 320 x 240 and 160 x 120 pixels. The length of the recording is only limited by the capacity of the XD memory card.

More Features
The lightweight and ergonomic metal body of the Stylus 410 provides all-weather protection from the elements--perfect for any condition from a downpour to snowy slopes to whipping sea spray on a sailboat. Rubber gaskets throughout the camera's interior insure that rain, sleet and snow can't stop the Stylus 410 from taking great shots.

A range of automatic functions such as TTL autofocus and Digital ESP (Electro Selective Pattern) light metering help ensure best results with the minimum of fuss. The Stylus 410 boasts a scene program for every occasion: Portrait, Self Portrait, Night Scene, Landscape, Landscape with Portrait, Beach and Snow, Cuisine and Indoor.

The Stylus 410 is the first Stylus model to feature TruePic Turbo, a new image processor that sharpens image clarity, contrast, and color for life-like results. This feature also makes the camera 30% faster in processing images and is combined with a super-fast shutter release time.

With a clamshell lens barrier (pioneered by Olympus) and an artistic design inspired by the beauty of ocean waves, the Stylus line has won numerous awards and accolades such as being displayed at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The camera has a sliding lens barrier attractively accented in silver and gold, and a champagne gold body that blurs the line between technology and artistry.

Use the Virtual Dial--viewed from the 1.5-inch LCD (134,000 pixels) to select from among ten shooting modes to determine the best option for the situation and receive optimum picture results.

Direct Printing
The Stylus 410 is PictBridge compatible, which enables you to transfer pictures from your digital camera to a compatible printer (such as the Olympus P-10), without a PC or image-editing software. All PictBridge devices share three basic features: camera-to-printer connecting, single-image printing, and uniform error messages (in case something goes wrong).

Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on XD Picture Card memory cards. The card's small size, about the same as a postage stamp, helps to keep the camera size down. The included 32 MB card will store approximately 16 images at 2,272 x 1,704 pixels (at HQ, JPEG setting). Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB 1.1 connectivity, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based Windows 98 Rev2Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

Power and Size
The camera is powered by a proprietary, rechargeable lithium-ion battery (LI-10B; included). It measures 3.9 x 2.2 x 1.3 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 5.6 ounces (excluding battery and storage media).

What's in the Box
This package contains the Olympus Stylus 410 digital camera, 32 MB XD Picture Card, lithium-ion rechargeable battery and charger (LI-10B), self-timer remote control (RM-2), USB and A/V cables, wrist strap, quick-start guide, and instruction manual. The CD-ROM features Camedia Master software, Adobe Acrobat Reader and Camera Reference Manual.

1 out of 5 stars Do not buy this camera.......2007-03-22

I have had this camera for a year and half. Just recently the flash decided to stop working. Upon looking at other websites to try and trouble shoot, I found at least 100 other people who were complaining about the same problem. When I called Olympus they said that I would have to pay 100 dollars to fix the problem plus shipping. When I told them about the fact that there were 100's of people with the same problem, they said it was not there problem. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA

4 out of 5 stars Reasonable camera, worth a look at even by today's standards.......2007-02-11

Looked at this camera when the company originally bought the stylus 300, and our budget would only approve for the 300, but would have bout this version if on my own. We have had a stylus 300 camera for almost two years, possibly longer. This stylus 400 camera would have been a good for our workplace to take photos of people for reference. Overall, the quality of the photos can go up to 4 mpx, good enough for a 12 x 15 photo, but all we needed is 3x5-4x6 maximum, so would have been excellent for this. Also it features a 3x optical (still low end standard zoom today) and a 4 x digital zoom (which relies on megapixels). total zoom 12x, not bad for this little design. The price on this right now is excellent for the features, the software still very similar to the newer stylus models (710,740,750,760,810,and 1000). This does not have a digital image or optical image stabilization, which was not available from olympus at this price range back in 2003. Also, battery life is decent, but uses standard batteries (li ion, oxide, or alkaline), not a problem with newer rechargables.

It does feature the panoramic feature available with type m and type h olympus brand xD cards (a code that comes with the branded card unlocks the code in the master software on your computer). What this feature does is allow you to stitch up to 10 photos together seamlessly for a 360 degree view if wanted. Neat. Check this out as an everyday use, on the go camera. It is weather resistant (sealed to prevent splashes ect, good in rain). Good entry level camera for kids today. Again would have purchased this if it was not for the company budget. Check this out, decent camera.

1 out of 5 stars not a great camera - very short life.......2007-02-08

I also struggled with this camera - very slow flash indoors and mediocre quality pictures. Then suddenly after two years the flash burned out and the camera wouldn't shoot at all. To replace the flash would have cost over $100 - we've decided not to put more money in an Olympus and instead buy a Canon SD 600, which will hopefully last longer....Wouldn't recomment this camera at all.

2 out of 5 stars There are better cameras.......2006-10-12

I've had this camera for about a year now. I bought it to replace my Olympus C-750, which was a really superb camera until I accidentally dunked it in a stream and killed it. I bought the 410 since it was advertised as being weather resistant. I have taken it out in the drizzling rain several times, and it does seem to be weather resistant. No problem there.

But the pictures aren't that great. The C-750 was significantly better, especially indoors--clearer, sharper, better focused--just superior in every way. The auto-focus on the 410 is absolutely terrible. Often times I can't get it to focus at all on what I want to take a picture of. This is especially true indoors. Indoor photos are a serious pain with this camera. I just tried taking an indoor close-up photo of an eBay item--the camera just won't focus properly. More than a dozen photos, every single one of them out of focus. I just can't get a decent photo of the item with this camera. Hence the motivation for this review. The panorama function is also only so-so. Sometimes it works OK, sometimes it doesn't.

Given the choice, I would have just bought another C-750. I'm pretty disappointed with the 410.

2 out of 5 stars A Big Disappointment.......2006-09-28

I owned a 2.1 megapixal Olympus - loved it! I bought the 410 - hated it! It takes terrible pictures indoors, great pictures outdoors. I worked and struggled with this camera for 2 years and then threw in the towel and bought a Canon A620. I love, love love it! It just works! In every situation. It's easy and intuitive to use.
