Product Description
The D-230 is a small, simple camera that produces big, beautiful photographs. Its compact body makes it easy to bring to the kids' soccer game or accompany you on vacation, while its stylish design and elegant metallic finish keeps it looking as good as the pictures it produces. Those pictures are easy to capture too, thanks to the many simple-to-use features included with the 2-megapixel digital camera including an Olympus autofocus lens and Auto-Connect USB. Auto-Connect USB feature lets you easily connect the D-230 to most any USB-enabled computer for quick and easy downloading of images. No additional software to install. Just drag and drop. Additionally, with one press of a button the D-230 meters the light, adjusts the exposure and fine-tunes the white balance to give you the beautiful pictures you expect from a beautifully designed camera. 2-to-1 image merge mode lets you combine two pictures into one side-by-side image without using a PC and imaging software. Macro mode gets you as close as 4 inches from your subject to capture the fine detail of small objects. With QuickTime Movie mode you can shoot a full minute of video.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Nice camera, good price, excellent for beginners.......2004-04-19

I chose the D230 for ease of use and low price and Olympus quality. This camera has met my expectations.

There are only a couple of improvements I would like to see. The LCD monitor is about useless in the bright sun (most are) but the view finder works well in this situation. There is also no battery meter other than a low battery indicator.

It's a sturdy camera with a nice feel. Small, lightweight, and compact. For 2MP it takes great quality pictures with little or no effort. If your looking for a great camera for point and shoot ease of operation you may want to look into this one.

I purchased mine on eBay from Olympus America for $81.00.

5 out of 5 stars Whats not to like about this camera ?.......2003-06-15

To anyone who say this is a piece of junk, obviously they haven't taken the short amount of time it takes to learn about it and its features. The 230 takes great pictures and with the addition of a couple of 1800 mah powerex batteries you can take pictures all day long. In the past several months I have had this camera, my experiences have been nothing but great. Buy one - slip it into your shirt pocket and enjoy !

5 out of 5 stars Great little digital camera.......2003-04-01

This is a nice small camera, not the smallest but a nice size. It only needs two batteries. What you need to do is get a battery charger and some NiMN batteries, and you won't need to buy batteries all the time.

5 out of 5 stars Great feature to size ratio.......2002-12-01

I really love my Olympus Brio D-230. It is small enough to fit in my purse and does everything I would expect. I took it on a cruise and my pictures came out GREAT!

5 out of 5 stars Really the best all around camera I have ever owned........2002-08-23
