Summary: Love at first Sight
Review: Believe it or not, I ordered this camera on the Web by "accident", but now that I've used it, you couldn't pry it out of my fingers with a crow bar. I somehow clicked on "purchase" on a web sight that will go unnamed because three days later a federal express box arrived at my house. Although I was disturbed at first that I had somehow ordered something without intending to, I am not sending this camera back. No way! It is deceptively simple looking, but this masks a ton of features. The pictures are superb and very easy to upload to a PC and send as E-Mail. I haven't had it long enough to run into a battery problem,but the reviews here clearly see that as a problem. I suspect I will buy the battery recharger someday soon.

Join the digital age. Buy this camera. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Great camera
Review: I have had this camera for about 2 months. I bought a smart media card ( an extra one) and makes the camera great for traveling. I also bought the flashpath media card for easy downloading which is great. I bought them all from amazon hassle free shopping.

Summary: Absolutely Great
Review: This is a great little camera. A real bargain at this price. Excellent color and quality pictures. Only drawback is slow serial interface to computer. Buy a Flashpath floppy adapter or a memory card reader to transfer pictures faster. A good card reader that won't crash your system is made by SIIG. They call it their USB DigiFilm-Combo Reader. About $79 street price. Also get the MAHA charger and NIMH batteries reviewed elsewhere on this page.

Summary: I like it and would not trade
Review: I recieved an Olympus 340R for Christmas and am completly happy. It is better than I expected from some of the reviews and they for the most part were generaly positive. I am still on my first set of batteries and have taken well over 100 pictures. I rarely use anything other than the optical viewfinder and this must result in signifantly longer battery life. It is simple and fun to use. It is a blast to be able to take a marginal shot and not to suffer the cost of developing a throw-away. If it turns out to be good, GREAT. If it turns out bad, so what, you have not lost a thing. I am satisified with the resolution. It takes wonderful pictures. I am just an average user and clearly not a professional, however, I recognize a quality image when I see one, and have taken 1000's of pictures with our Canon AE-1. If I had it to do over, I would still want the Olympus 340R.

Summary: One of the best digital cameras under $400.00
Review: This is a great camera for the price. It was very easy to use and the picture quality is excellent. It took me about 15 minutes to figure out most of the camera's functions. Only thing I have negative to say about this camera is that Olympus should have included a ac adapter.

Summary: Great Entry Level Digital Camera
Review: I purchased the Olympus 340-R in the summer of '99 for around $350. So far it has proven to be nothing less than spectacular. The image quality is excellent. Most of my pictures are of friends and families indoors, at bars, or sometimes outside. Download time seems to be pretty quick. I purchased Ni-MH rechargable batteries and the battery life has been excellent. Perhaps the only feature I wished I had was a ZOOM. But for an entry level camera this one is hard to beat.

Summary: Excelente Camara
Review: Compré esta camara y estoy fascinado, me parece una excelente compra, obtuve la mejor relación beneficio/precio, aunque definivamente le faltan mas funciones en su patalla LCD, la opción de panoramico me parecio excelente, ayudado obviamente por el software que viene con la camara. Una falla que presenta es la falta del estuche (toca comprarlo como accesorio) el cual es fundamental para proteger la camara. En lo personal la recomiendo al que quiera comprarla, estoy seguro que no se arrepentira.

Summary: From a novice
Review: After doing a lot of searching on line I decided to order this camera.Thanks to Amazon's always excellent service the camera arrived just in time for a family trip I had planned.This left me with only a few hours to learn what to do before using the camera for the first time. Though the manual has 183 pages it takes about 3 minutes to learn how to do the basics. Truly impressive. I went on my merry way and shot a whole bunch of pictures. Upon returning home I installed the included software and downloaded the pictures. One gripe regarding the software package;it would be nice to have a "Lite" version of the instructions for use for us novices. I'm sure the help section has an answer to every question, but all I want to do is the basics and this software has so many features it gets to be a pain to find answers. I did get it working tho, and am truly impressed with the quality of the pictures I took. I did not get the power converter, but am planning to use rechargable batteries so the drain during downloading is no issue. All in all I find this camera a pleasure to use for a first time user like me, and I'm sure if you bother to find out all the features for just about anyone. All in all a great product!

Summary: Battery Life is Great
Review: I bought this camera after returning an Agfa esmile. What a difference $200 makes. The batteries burned out after downloading 10 photos on the old' camera; with Olympus, I have downloaded over 200 photos and there is no sign of battery drain. Also, the LCD screen is very handy. I stronly recommend this product. Excellent price to quality value.

Summary: Incredible Magic
Review: The instructions manual is tiny and the font smallish, so first thing was having it enlarged at the friendly Copy Shop. The language is good English (even the Spanish version is clean) instead of the usual jargon. Besides items are not overexplained.

The camera itself is amazing, but requires reading the manual. Then you discover it packs 40+ functions, including the possibility of formatting the media card.

Once you learn how it works, the results are fabulous. For the price the only competition is black magic. There definitely are no cons, except the very minor gripes the reviewers have repetaed endlessly. For myself, I will enjoy like mad.
