Summary: Good camera with some cons
Review: Pros: Cheap, great resolution, good flash, great size and weight, easy to use software.

Cons: EATS BATTERIES! (maybe 5 photos using LCD but significantly more if using the viewfinder), zoom sucks (you have to hit about 5 buttons to get it to zoom 2x, and you have to use the LCD to do so--see previous comment).

I decided to return the camera. I compared my camera to those of others on my trip, and so I decided to spend a little more and get a better one.

Summary: awesome camera
Review: Awesome camera! Nice display, useful features. I would suggest purchasing of the Flash Path floppy drive adapter for easy and fast download of your photos.

Summary: Avid photographer loves this camera!
Review: Actually, I bought mine at hifihut.vstoremall.com None the less, this is my fifth Digital Camera and I am convinced that it is THE BEST. Each camera I have owned was from a different manufacturer and all in this price range. The picture quality exceeded my expectations. Ease of use is great and so is battery usage. I will probably buy another Olympus camera in the near future!

Summary: Don't buy Sandisk 16MB Disk for 360L!
Review: Awesome pics, easy to use, lame software, lame downloadcapability. Buy the Sandisk Imagemate USB to rapidly downloadpics. Do NOT buy Sandisk 16MB card - it's not compatible with the 360L. This camera desperately needs optical zoom, but it is a great start. I love mine, and the pictures blew away a friend's more expensive, gadget infested Sony Digital Mavica. Why can't a great camera company get together with a great computer company and get it right?...

Summary: AMAZINGINGLY EASY
Review: What a great camera. You put in the batteries and start clicking. The pictures are great and easy to download with the supplied cable and software. This digital camera deserves all the high ratings it has received. That's why I bought it, and I'm extremely satisfied.

Summary: Couldn't Have Done Better Myself
Review: Our "kids" bought us an Olympus D-340R for our 40th wedding anniversary last August. Since then I have used no other camera though I've been taking pictures for 50 years and have a nice accumulation of SLR equipment. With our offspring in California and Virginia, we use the D-340R to e-mail pics just about every day. It produces outstanding results with very good resolution and outstanding color. Thought enough of the camera to purchase one (D-360L) for one son and will buy another for the other son. Just came back from a 2 week stay in Hawaii where I took the 340R and my Canon A1 as a back up. Took 350 pictures with the D-340R and did not take the A1 out of the bag. Have all the Hawaiian pictures on a zip disk. Pictures are easy to download. Bought rechargable batteries and three extra Smartmedia chips. I highly recommend the D-360L to anyone looking for a digital camera in the $300 price range without need for optical telephoto requirements.

Summary: excellent camera
Review: The little Olympus is an excellent digital camera for photo amateurs (like me and 99.99% of you). It's rightly considered excellent value for the price, for a number of reasons.

Images: the quality of images ranges from very good to acceptable. The resolution is high enough for album-size prints, and for web posting. As far as I could tell, the optical group is good (no distorsions and luminosity gaps).

Usability: shooting commands are very easy, although exposure correction and "film" sensibility can take some time to set up. Nice features are the ability to shoot sequences and to have wide/spot exposure meter. The "macro" option works fine, but the "2x" option is almost worthless to me. It's better to magnify the section of interest in the editing phase.

Built-in editing: the camera commands are also very easy to use (you just have to keep the shutter closed). You can view your pictures on a TV without needing a computer. You can zoom over a picture section. More important, you can easily store/access/erase pictures, and the quality of the LCD screen is good (brightness can be adjusted). Downoading images on a PC/Mac is straightforward too. Overall, it took me less than one hour to become aquainted with the camera proper.

Now with the downsides. The plastic case has a fragile silver finish which can be scratched too easily. The camera consumes a lot of power, but life can be extended by keeping the LCD off, although it is tempting not to. Finally, for a total extra cost of $50, I would advise you to buy a set of rechargeable NiMH batteries and a charger (NOT Olympus: too expensive) and an additional 16Mb+ smartmedia card (also usable of Rio and other MP3 players).

Summary: You will love it!
Review: This is my first digital camera and one super pleasantsurprise. It's gotta be the most bang for the bucks camera out there.I am a cautious buyer and did lots of research first. (Thanks Amazon) One common complaint was battery life. If you are going to turn on the LCD monitor and stare at photos every five minutes then it is going to eat batteries. First of all, get an Energizer ACCU rechargable for NiMH AA batteries. Do NOT get NiCads! If you don't overwork the LCD monitor, batteries are NOT a problem. I took about 40-42 HQ (1280x960)shots on one fully charged set of NiMH's. About fifteen of those were with flash. I took my new toy to London where my charger would not work so I took a bunch AA Alkelines as back up. They are still in the unopened package. I highly recommend the purchase of a FlashPath Floppy Disk Adaptor... It was shipped the next day. They include an 8mb smartmedia card which is good for another 36 HQ shots. An 8mb card comes with the camera. The only difficulty I had was taking panorama shots in bright sunlight. It is difficult to see the monitor but would have been better had I turned up the brightness to "high". The 360L has lots of nice features that I had not even known about. And, it is so great to take a shot and email it within minutes without the hassle of using up the rest of the roll and running out to have it processed. This is a five star plus camera. Goodbye film and vinyl recordings. Who needs ya? Meybee a museum.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT CAMERA FOR THE $
Review: I got this camera about a month ago and I must say I am quite impressed! This is a great camera for the money and although it lacks much of the fancy extras that more expensive cameras have, you won't miss them. For personal use this cam is great. You get good quality pictures and 5 diffrent quality settings. I highly recommend this camera.
