for the money, there is no match.......2003-12-10

For a first camera, I wouldn't trade it for the world. It's small, durable, and takes great photos. The interface is easy to use and the photos it produces are printable quality.

Sure, if you want to spend a few hundred dollars more, you will get a better camera. But, if you want something simple, with an optical zoom, this is the camera. Photos print out fantastically (with the proper paper and printer, of course), and they are great to use for online purposes as well. Add on a pack of rechargable AA batteries for it (or any camera), and a larger memory card, and you're set to go forever.

Camera Size is Perfect!.......2003-09-22

We love the fact that this camera is so tiny. I can just toss it in my purse & it even often fits in my pocket. It's a great camera. Our only complaints are that it has problems with unusual lighting (pictures aren't as good inside, but can be doctored up in a photo editing program) & the menu system is tedious. I don't know if all digital cameras have the lighting problems. It's also slow to take a picture, but I've heard that is true of all digital cameras (I think?). Highly recommend for the price though!!

excellent Quality for a small price!.......2002-08-24

This is an excellent camera, pictures are perfect, Olympus has one of the best digital cameras in the market today. Very satisfied with my purchase.

My 2nd Digital - Great Bargain.......2002-08-21

Okay - I bought this refurbished, but it was factory sealed. It's a great camera for casual use and you cannot beat the price. Great features include the 3X optical zoom (forget about digital zoom - they are practically useless), a 12-second delay (I've dealt with less time to run and pose!) and an image print increase size to 5 X 7 (only 1.3MP). However, I never have had use for an 8 X 10 or more. Slim camera and inexpensive enough that I won't freak if I lose it (I lose cameras - one every few years!). The Smartmedia cards are great, as I can mail them home from vacation. Olympus is also a great company for returns or problems.

slow and mediocre picture quality.......2002-08-08

This camera should be considerably better than the entry level fixed focus Olympus D-360L of a few years ago. However, I found the picture quality markedly worse than the less expensive 360L. Images were not sharp. Also the delay between hitting the shutter and getting the shot was considerably longer than that of the 360L. Colors seemed off to me, and the LCD would jump erratically in how it was balancing colors as I balanced the picture. Mostly it is the picture quality I find disturbing. I thought my camera was defective and picked up another, but obtained the same results.
