Rating: Summary: Great learning camera Review: I have been using this camera for almost a year all over the world for both business and personal. I'm now buying even more memory chips so I can take more tiff pictures as when enlarged to poster size, look great. Only negatives are no rechargable batteries.
Rating: Summary: Excellent quality photos Review: I have had my camera for about 1 year now and truly love it, I never use my 35mm film camera anymore. the pictures you get with this camera are great and it is so easy to upload them to your computer using the USB cable. This camera is very user friendly and very easy to use. I had never used a digital camera before this one!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Great Camera, Bad Pictures Review: I rate this camera 5 stars because its a great camera for a beginner and easy to use. The pictures aren't exactly bad but the camera makes the objects in the pictures look farther away than they really are. But I like its features and the software that came with it.
Rating: Summary: Good and Bad Review: This camera is a good entry level camera, but leaves much to be desired. First, it eat batteries, forcing you to ...rechargeable bateries and a adapter for use when downloading images. 2nd, the camera has no optical zoom, forcing you to use the digital (and the LCD screen which drains batteries.) My third gripe about the camera is that the button for the LCD screen is resecced so it won't get turned on accidentaly, but the button makes it very, very, very dificult to turn on. I reapeatadly find my self stuggling to turn on the LCD screen. My 4th and final gripe is that it has no USB connection with the package. With the serial connection, it can take me 3 or 4 hours to donwload 20 or so pictures. I would suggest buying a memory card reader.... So, this is a good entry level camera, but not much else.
Rating: Summary: Great First Camera Review: I purchased a D-360L about a year ago and have been very happy with it ever since. The camera and software are wasy to use and some nice camera features include macro, several flash settings, and you can zoom in on portiions of your picture on the LCD screen. The only problem I have had are poor resolution when using the zoom setting that can make pictures come out grainy or pizelated. I recommend getting a larger Smartmedia Card and rechargeable batteries.
Rating: Summary: Mac users heads up... Review: I just got the camera yesterday and I'm raring to go, BUT -- the promised (and, in my case required!!) Macintosh serial cable is *NOT* included. You have to send in for it using the mail-in coupon in the box and it takes 4-6 weeks to get it, so if you are in a hurry to use your camera, forgedaboudit! I was disappointed, since from the tech specs listed etc, it appeared that everything I would need to get started would be included. Instead I find that I have to wait and hope. Grrrrrrrrr...The folks at Olympus customer service (800-622-6372) have promised to expedite my request... we'll see! Other than this glitch, tho, the camera appears easy to use and the documentation is pretty much written in non-technical language. I just wish everything I'd thought I was getting had been in the box!
Rating: Summary: Superb camera Review: I've had my camera for some time now and I don't regret it for a second. The price was right. It has all the features I was looking for in a camera. I've yet to use my regular camera. The only downfall is the battery life, it's far too brief. So whenever you're going on a trip make sure you take along plenty of batteries. Other then that I couldn't be any happier.
Rating: Summary: Great camera Review: I am very please with the camera. I looked at the new top-of-the-line "prosumer" models (Canon G1, Nikon 990, etc.) and came to the conclusion that they had a lot of features I would never use. I am into point and shoot. I bought a 32 meg memory card (the 8 meg card that comes to with almost any digital camera is way too small) on which I can shoot 73 photos at the SHQ (1 megapixel) setting. I get a good 8 x 10 print at this setting. Another thing I bought is a Sandisk external USB Smartcard reader (about $50). Downloading photos from the camera using the serial port is very slow, and eats up batteris. The card reader is easy to use and transfers a whole card full of pictures in a minute or less. The only thing I miss with this camera is a zoom lense. The more expensive cameras come with 2x or 3x optical zoom.
Rating: Summary: Neglected, but necessary, Information Review: This is a beautiful camera, perfect for a first-time digital camera user. I researched the field thoroughly before I decided on this product. I made three calls to Amazon.com advisors prior to ordering. I even questioned one technician about the camera's compatibility with an IMac. I am an adament IMac user. At no time did I read, see, or hear that the connecting cable would not connect to an IMac. I did not read, see, or hear anything about needing to buy a Smart/Media Reader/Writer. In the box containing my new camera is a card with a Macintosh address offering a ... rebate after I purchase the above-mentioned paraphanalia. I can tell I'm going to love this camera when I finally get the above-mentioned paraphanalia so I can load and store my pictures on my computer.
Rating: Summary: great camera at a great value Review: This camera is awesome... it has a sturdy, compact design that is perfect for dropping in your pocket. It's perfect for the beginner- the function buttons on top of the camera for the flash, timer, etc are clearly labeled and easy to understand. The LCD viewer on the back is handy for lining up shots and for browsing images you have already saved. The Cameida software that comes with the computer is also extremely easy to use.
