Great little camera.......2003-07-09

I absolutely love this camera. I purchased the camera in December and have been impressed with the results. It is easy to use and I just love all the features that it offers, especially the 3D mode. I found the night shooting mode gave great results, although you must be careful to keep the camera still, allowing for the longer exposure. I download the photos into iphoto (which also is great) so am not familiar with the software that comes with the optio 330 gs. Overall this camera is great for the novice because of its simplicity, but also has a lot to offer the more creative photographer as well. My SLR has been a little neglected of late!

A quality product.......2003-06-08

Before I purchased the Optio 330GS I had tried using an early Kodak digital model. It had no zoom, limited functions and drained batteries.

In comparison, this camera is a gem. It has everything the novice photographer could ever need: 3 x digital zoom, several picture modes (including self portrait and 'snow and surf' modes), movie function (upto 30 seconds) and a good autofocus. Furthermore it is easy to use and the software provided is fast and efficient. The LCD screen is clear and is still visible in bright light outdoors.

It is important that if you buy this camera, you also buy a 128mb or 256mb Compact flash card. This allows you to take as many photos as you need. Some critics have also complained that it chews AA batteries. This is true. If you use normal AA alkaline batteries - it will use them up very quickly. However, if you buy some rechargeable NIMH AA's, then they should last for as long as you need. And as they are rechargeable you don't have to keep forking out.

I use this camera mainly to take pictures of surfing (and the ocean) and it functions very well for this purpose. It is also great for taking everyday pictures of your friends and family, as well as self portraits - thus eliminating the need to hand your camera over to a stranger when there is no-one around to take your photo. Good value for money and a quality product.

This a great little pocket rocket camera. Takes compact flash,uses AA rechargable Nimh batteries and has a 3X fast optical zoom. The Nimh's are the way to go-get the 1800mAh capacity and they will last longer than you think. The lens looks like it's the same as the one on the new nikon 3100. Amazon.com had it on sale...shipped-a screamin deal!

Enjoying this camera........2003-02-08

I bought this camera about two weeks ago and am thoroughly enjoying it. My only complaint is that it doesn't have quite as many manual features as I would like (I have been using an SLR). Overall it seems to be a good little camera, but you will probably need to get another CompactFlash card before you do any serious photography as the one that comes with it only holds about 9 photos at highest quality. The quality of the pictures is great!

Excellent digital Camera.......2003-01-25

I know Pentax is one of the best cameras, this time they made it, it's perfect, so easy to operate, it takes so clearly the pictures, I just love it. Just buy a Big Compact Flash and enjoy the show!!!
