Rating: Summary: Just Buy It ! Review: I have done photography for many years and am really pleased with the quality of the pictures. The resolution and sharpness make this a must have camera. Very simple to use once you've read the instructions. This is the newest version of the D 340R, which had very high ratings. This newer version (D 360L) has the bugs worked out and really turns out great pictures. This has been fun for our family since the kids can use it and I am able to delete or keep the pictures I choice. I have purchased this only after months of reading and doing my research. No question that for the money; this is the camera to buy. It auto focuses with incredible results. You will be impressed! Just buy it!
Rating: Summary: Affordable and reliable plus quality and features. Review: EXCELLENT! I bought this camera largely based on the reviews that i saw here in Amazon.com. I have to say that the 5-star reviews this camera has been receiving are right on the money. This camera has everything the normal every day user would need as well as features that the advanced user would appreciate. Picture quality is generally very good. The 5 different picture quality settings give you the ability to use this camera for a variety of uses (home, office, web etc). There are so many options such as panoramic pictures, zoom/macro, ISO settings, slow shutter speeds for night/low light conditions etc.. And the 1.3 Megapixel resolution is excellent for this range of 'entry level' digital cameras. This camera is also very good for night use as it seems to be able to handle a variety of lighting levels quite well. When you consider the price it really is a VERY good buy. Once again i say EXCELLENT!
Rating: Summary: Another Fine Olympus Review: I bought this camera because it ranks high in "pixels per dollar" (resolution) and because I own three other Olympus cameras which have been outstanding performers--good picture quality and easy to use. I spent some time comparing the features of different brands and models in the $300 to $800 range. Dollar for dollar this camerea is very hard (impossible?) to beat. What you get for twice the price isn't that much more with the exception of a zoom. Zooms are a mixed blessing anyway because so often you get blurry pictures (because you don't use a tripod). Plus, you usually give up some close-up ability when you have a zoom. The zoom might be more important if you don't have some photo editor software to crop, enlarge, or otherwise manipulate your digital pictures. Some minor concerns. I find the look and feel a little "clunky" compared to other Olympus cameras and other brands. Also, the new models are less iMac friendly. So, I bought an Olumpus SmartMedia Reader which added to the cost but is a very cool device. And battery life? I read all the comments about getting rechargeable batteries but I was still shocked at how fast the batteries wear out. Still, all-in-all, this is a great camera for the price.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Digicam Review: I did a lot of research on lower cost digicams (<$400) and decided on the 360L since it was the update to the overwhelming popular 340R, and am more than happy with it(was considering the Fuji mx1200 too). The pictures are of great quality & the features are very useful. Multiple settings for ISO, flash, spot are great, and if you rather point & shoot it does a great job there too! Extras such as the autofiring action mode (takes rapid shots, one every half a second for up to 10 secs) are good for casual fun as well. The software suits its purpose. I agree the battery life is not the best, but all digicams will drain AA's very quickly, I invested in Ni-metal rechargeables and seem to be doing fine with those. So far I've been using the serial port download, it's fairly slow, but I can live instead of shelling out for a USB adaptor. 8MB can fit lots of standard quality, but I really preferred the super-high quality shots where you'll only be able to squeeze 18 shots onto the 8 MB smart media.
Rating: Summary: Picture perfect Review: I went to CNET to get a good value digital camera review. Iread about the Olympus 340 and learned Olympus had revised the camerato a later and greater model ... 360. I purchased the camera and USBconnector. I configured the camera and installed the various software packages in minutes. Within 30 minutes, I was taking pictures in my backyard. The output is GREAT! I highly recommend the camera to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Great Camera For the Price Review: I'm a teen who has a limited amount of money to spend. Normally having less quality items. But this camera is the best thing i've ever bought. One suggestion, that is to get a floppy adapter for the smartmedia card, the serial port is kinda slow.
Rating: Summary: Couldn't be happier Review: I got the Olympus D360L because I wanted a digital camera and I didn't want to spend a lot of money. The picture quality is much better than I expected it to be, and it is very easy to use. I was also impressed with the software that comes with the camera and what I was able to do with pictures after I took them. Its amazing how good pictures come out in low light with no flash. Since it is so much less expensive than the 450 Zoom, it doesn't have a traditional zoom, it has a digital zoom, which functions like a traditiional telephoto lens. So when I want a zoom, I walk closer to the subject. The camera lets you take perfect pictures only 4 inches away from your subject, and that is pretty cool. My advice: If you have $500, get the 450 zoom, if you don't want to spend that much, the D360L is a great camera and I'm very satisified with it.
Rating: Summary: Great Camera Review: I just got my camera today and so far am really impressed withit. The features and quality of the photos really make it worth themoney. You have lots of control with this camera: adjustable white balance, shutter speed, ISO settings, flash settings, spot metering, etc. I found the panarama mode really cool--take as many pictures as you want your panorama to have and then the software program stiches them all into a seamless image. I did a quick and dirty test in the office and the resulting image looked great! I couldn't tell where the photos joined! Overall, the software program is pretty nice. Mac Compatible, but you must mail a form back for a free serial adaptor.
Rating: Summary: best for the money Review: I looked at a lot of cheap digital cameras before my friend told me about this one. It had a good feature set so I bought it. I've been really impressed with the picture quality, especially compared to my friends with more expensive floppy-based cameras. It's also really small compared to those clunkers. It doesn't have a zoom, but night pictures and flash come out very well. I've been very happy with it so far--used it as my only camera on my trip to Hawaii with great results. Be warned, it goes through batteries quickly--we got some rechargeables that helped.
Rating: Summary: GREAT CAMERA Review: i thought it was a great camera it works great easy 2 use batteries last for a whole day unless using lcd screen. takes bout 5 sec. to write a pic. w/ 16mb card can take about 230 normal quality pics / 75 high quality / 30 super high quality.
