Rating: Summary: Great camera Review: Awesome camera. I bought mine right before a trekking trip to the Patagonia. I used it indoors and outdoors. The camera took great pictures regardless of the lighting. The digital zoom is very surprising. The camera has many settings that one can use to get the best possible picture for each situtation. The camera can also record short movies. I would suggest investing in a larger memory card than the one it comes with if you are not going to have access to a computer on a regular basis.
Rating: Summary: Great camera! Review: I've had the camera 3 moonths now and I still love it! It is compact, takes great pictures, and easy to use. It took very little time to learn how to use it. If you're looking for a point and shoot digital camera, this is a great choice. I was initially concerned that it only uses a rechargeable battery, but the battery life is surprisingly good. I used it on vacation took 70-80 pictures and still had plenty of battery life left. The compact size is also a plus - can be comfortably carried around in a pant pocket. Compared to other digitals I've tried, the Stylus 300 has a solid, sturdy feel to it. For the everyday photographer, this camera is a great choice.I've had no problems with indoor photos unless trying to take a shot a a great distance. Picture quality is always excellent unless I don't hold the camera steady. The Olympus software is simple but let's me do everything I've wanted - e-mail, print, etc. I rarely used my old film camera,but I carry this camera with me everywhere now. With a 128MB card I snap all the pictures I want with no concern about space. This is the best toy I've bought in years.
Rating: Summary: Olympus Stylus 300 Review: I am very pleased with the Olympus Stylus 300. I have owned other digital cameras and this one is by far the the best. Small and compact, lots of features, easy to use and produces high quality photos. No fumbling around with lens caps with the built in slider. The camera is weather resistant and has a nice big display for viewing photos. It is everything I wanted in a digital camera and not overpriced.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: This is the first digital camera I have purchased and it is wonderful. I would recommend this camera to everybody. The body of this camera is great its small, light and compact and its fits right in your pocket. It also takes great pictures the zoom could be alittle better but its still good. Easy to use the software installed it the same day I got the camera. If you want a camera thats small and user friendly than this is the camera for you.
Rating: Summary: Great Picture Quality Review: My pictures look incredible with this Olympus Stylus! I can go out in the rain and shoot some different looking images and not worry about my camera getting wet. Its small, so I can slide it into my pocket and it is metal so it feels more durable. In doors, I find if I turn on all of my lights when shooting I get better lighting (but I had to do this with my small film camera too). I would HIGHLY recommend this Olympus Stylus to anyone looking to purchase a digital camera. My wife enjoys it too because it is simple but we still get pro results
Rating: Summary: Excellent camera Review: If you use a digital camera, you need to get off those 4 AA from your drug store. They are just not practical, the battery on this camera last for a whole 250 MB card at max resolution. Additional battery is cheap (cheaper than buying those 4 AA batteries over time). Just like you would charge a digital video camera, you plug the charger in the wall, place the battery eaily on top and leave it. In less than the time it takes you to drive to that drig store, you got a full charge! The media card is the one you would use for this camera, why would you want CF for example? Average user would have one digital camera with one card, that easily download into your PC. I bought the Canon powershot and this by far has a better color especially for Macro shots. Go ahead and get it, it can be used everywhere, it wont run out of battery even if you store ity for a month as long as it is charged and it wont die as soon as as a little increase in humidity hits it. I have been useing it for 2 years and no problems, highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: good for day trips Review: This is a great camera for day time use. It has taken horrible pictures in doors and at night. It takes beautiful pictures in the sun light though. Wouldn't recommend to a friend.
Rating: Summary: perfect Review: this camera takes awesome pictures indoors and at night. this is a great camera. it eats up batteries like crazy, though.
Rating: Summary: great camera with bad feature Review: i have now owned this camera for 6 months. it was completely worth the money. the pictures were amazingly clear. then the sliding lever to close and open the camera malfunctioned. i was warned that opening and closing the camera too much would make it become no good. i did not believe Olympus would allow a problem like that. now i have to return the camera to be repaired. great camera, bad feature.
Rating: Summary: worth it Review: For a basic digital camera,the 300 delivers good results in general use. Do not expect it to produce what a $2000 Lica will. the camera was built for, point-and-shoot,and it delivers good color with generally great results. It is compact,small,well protected,and a treat to use. A great general camera.
