Summary: Great Camera - Great Price
Review: Just bought the 360L a couple days ago and it has to be the best camera I have purchased in a long time. Take a few minutes and read the instructions .... after that the camera is a breeze to operate. It takes very good photos and extremely good in low or no light conditions. By the middle of July I will have my web page up with pictures on it from this camera. I love the camera for the great price as well as the quality. The great price let me afford a few accessories such as another ram chip and rechargeable batteries --- got it all out the door for [a great price]. I bought the camera at San Jose Camera in San Jose, Ca. .... customer service was excellant.

Summary: What a great camera!
Review: This camera has surpassed every expectation. The ease of use, battery life and quality of photos continue to impress everyone around me. I am finding, though, as I brag about what a great deal I got, that some of the items I recently purchased online are sold locally for the same or less. I just thought that online had to be the lowest price because of low overhead, right? WRONG! Check around, please.

Summary: Great Camera, Great Price
Review: Beautiful pictures, handy carrying strap, moderately portable, very user-friendly, limited zoom options...the Olympus D-360L features all of these things, and it's a very nice camera. I found two minor problems. It eats batteries, and the flash is bright and kind of annoying. I can fill its need for batteries, and without the flash the pictures are horribly dark, so I can live happily with both of those issues. I you want a camera, BUY THIS!

Summary: D360-L vs. D460-Z
Review: I had occasion to buy the 360 and 460 recently. Other reviews adequately describe why both are great cameras and which accessories you'll need. Essentially, they're the same box(1.3 MegaPixel) and microcode. The same "darkroom" software, CamediaMaster 1.2, comes with both. The 460 has a better user interface and a zoom. The buttons and menus are somewhat more intuitive, but the 360 interface isn't bad to begin with. The digital 2x zoom is the same on both, the close-up (macro) mode on the 360 is 4", vs. 8" on the 460. The feature set (e.g.: ISO, spot metering) is similar, if there're any differences they're minor and subtle. The ease-of-use factor of the 360 is better. On the 460, you have to wait for the lens to come out of the casing, and you must remember to open the flash. Unless you *really* need zoom, you can save yourself two hundred bucks by purchasing the 360.

Summary: Cheap but perfect!
Review: I love this cam! Best gadget I've bought in years, and I use it constantly. Only $300 and it does everything a normal person would want. It's a sturdy camera you can take everywhere. Digital photography is great. Download to you PC quickly. I started uploading my pics to a site called www.ofoto.com where you can share pics with friends and order kodak prints of the digital images and they look just like regular film prints. One thing you MUST DO though, is buy 4 doubleA rechargable batteries for it. That will usually run you about $20, but it's worth it. The digital cam's viewer and flash can kill your batteries in one day of heavy use. Perfect starter digital cam. But, for me, it's all I'm gonna need for a few years. The only thing that is bad about it is that it's a little bulky, but that's the case with all the digital cams at this time.

Summary: A great camera!
Review: I have owned my D-360L for several months, and I love it! I have taken pictures indoors, outdoors, and in low light, and they all turned out very well. The images are sharp, and the colors are very accurate. The 1280x960 resoultion is more than adequate assuming you are not planning to enlarge small portions of the picture. Using the LCD display tends to drain the batteries rather quickly, but the money I save on film and developing pictures easily makes up for this. Also, don't expect to be able to use this camera without reading the instructions. In my opinion, the D-360L is probably the best under-$300 digital camera on the market.

Summary: It's true. It's absolutely terrific.
Review: I put off buying a digital camera for months because the decision was just making my head explode. Too many choices, prices all over the map, not sure what I really needed -- and accessories! Yikes! Well, I read these reviews, I took a chance and it was/is totally worth it. The camera arrived WITH BATTERIES. I did what I always do -- started using it without reading the directions -- and it worked. Great. I was worried about downloading but that proved to be another wasted effort. Downloading was a breeze. A total breeze. I love my camera. In just three days I have already filled the mailboxes of all our relatives with new photos of my baby daughter, my brother building my deck this weekend and more. Go for it. Buy it. Totally, totally worth it.

Summary: Don't wait... Buy it now!
Review: This is an excellent camera! The image quality is astonishing for a product of this price range and the generated files are small, ideal for the web or e-mail. You can apply lots of zoom without pixelation. It's very easy to use. The manual is comprehensive and user-friendly. Buy a protective case, because the camera doesn't include one and is fragile. You can carry the SmartMedia cards in it, too. It's worth the money. We have two of this toys (my father's and mine) and we are very pleased. Don't forget that Olympus is an excellent brand. The bundled software is fine for most purposes, but if you want more tweaking on the images, you can use Corel, PhotoShop, etc. The ideal complement for this camera is a 16 Mb. SmartMedia card. Don't rush buying it (the memory card) because the prices are very unstable ... My advice: compare before you buy. You don't need to buy Olympus-brand memory cards. They are expensive (Look for other brands like SanDisk), and the only advantage that they have over the generic cards is the Panorama function (the ability to take 3 or 4 photos and link them) The camera price is very stable, online or at a retail store. Consider buying a battery charger, because if you use the screen too much to take photos, it will drain the batteries quickly. (Use instead the optical viewer to take photos and the LCD screen to review them). I have a Kodak charger with NiMH batteries and it works really nice. Don't use alkaline batteries, because they don't last for long. If you buy the D360L at some stores, you will be offered with a 4-year full-protection program. It's worth considering. We are really happy with the camera. One drawback: The downloading time is long via serial port, specially if you have a big SmartMedia card with many images. If you are in a rush, buy an USB adapter. For me, the speed is ok!

Summary: Simple...convenient
Review: This is a terrific little camera. Perfect for sending photos over the internet or for local printing. As with most digital cameras, it LOVES to suck up battery life. You should consider a recharge unit, ac adapter (for downloads) or 3 1/2 inch smartmedia adapter (for downloads). VERY easy to use - - out of the box. Anything that isn't obvious is detailed in the directions. I'm very satisfied.
