Summary: Great cam for the price
Review: ...Read all the other reviews first. I agree with the good points that everyone else lists. Compact, stylish, easy-to-use, economical, low-power use, etc. One more thing to note, though. I don't know if all digital cameras are like this, but this camera is not truely aim-n-shoot. The camera pauses at least a full second after you press the "shoot" button before the flash will fire and the lens captures your picture. This is fine for still shots, but this seriously affects your ability to take action shots or surprise shots. So far, I have about 50 shots of my friends covering their faces with coats or their hands because my camera didn't fire off in time. Also, this pause sometimes will cause you to take a blurry shot because it is sometimes difficult to hold your hands completely steady during that time. But I still recommend this camera, especially for still shots.

Summary: But the color?
Review: After reading reviews for this camera, I decided it would be a good investment. However, I was quite disappointed when I got the camera home and began taking pictures. Perhaps my camera is just faulty, but none of the pictures came out with good color. Other than that, the camera is good. It is easy to use and doesn't take long to get started. However, I am considering taking the camera back.

Summary: Buen producto
Review: Es una máquina concebida para facilitar la toma de fotogradías; amigable y de uso sencillo. Con una buena resolución para la mayoría de las ocasiones. Fácil de transportar aunque la correa de sujeción es algo debil. Se debe indicar en la tapa de las pilas, la correcta dirección en que deben ser colocadas.

Summary: Amazingly great value for stellar quality
Review: For a camera of its price range, I was dubious as to its quality, but buying is believing, even a refurbished model from cec-corp which got it direct from the factory. All the sample shots at digital imaging site reviews lived up to expectation and the camera walks the fine line between super-easy to use and great goodies like white balance, flash type, macro mode, and 6x zoom. Its slender feel beg for it to travel and be used. I debated greatly over whether to get the ...(refurbished) D-460 (out-of-production too in lieu of the cheaper D-470 which is fixed focus; likewise with the D-360/D-370 difference) but the 1.3Mpix and auto focus (*not* fixed focus) and goodies and lower price and newer nature (meaning USB and not serial support plus refined technology) of the D-150 make me glad Olympus continues to remember the poorer and more value-minded digital photographer :).

Summary: for the money, there is no match
Review: For a first camera, I wouldn't trade it for the world. It's small, durable, and takes great photos. The interface is easy to use and the photos it produces are printable quality. Sure, if you want to spend a few hundred dollars more, you will get a better camera. But, if you want something simple, with an optical zoom, this is the camera. Photos print out fantastically (with the proper paper and printer, of course), and they are great to use for online purposes as well. Add on a pack of rechargable AA batteries for it (or any camera), and a larger memory card, and you're set to go forever.

Summary: Great, Easy-to-Use Camera
Review: For my office, I have purchased (from Amazon.com) four of these cameras over the past few months. I intend to purchase another 3 or 4 over the next six months. We use them to illustrate our reports. I also use the camera a lot for personal use. For use in business reports, web page photos, or for emailing photos of the kids to the Grandparents, this is a great camera. Don't be fooled by all of the hype surrounding which camera to buy based on the amount of megapixels. If you are looking for a camera that is simple to use and has good photo quality this little 1.3 megapixel camera is perfect. In fact, if you just want to take photos for emailing or for a web page, set the camera at the "SQ" (Standard Quality - which is ambout .3 megapixel)to take the picture. This setting produces a very good picture file with a relatively small file size (about 80 kb). This makes emailing with a dial-up modem much faster, and more practical. Just imagine trying to email a 3 or 4 megapixel photo file over a dial-up connection - the file would be so large, it would take hours to upload / download. Transfering to your computer is simple with the wire included, but you must have a USB port on your computer. We also purchased Floppy Drive ("A" drive) adaptors (Flashpath)to have an alternative means to transfer...Other brief comments, purchase a 32 Meg SmartMedia card for extra storage. The 8 Meg that comes with it is okay, but these things are so [inexpensive], why not get the option to hold more photos. Also, buy rechargable batteries, and a recharger. You will save money in the short term.

Summary: Poor focus & Color
Review: Have been using for about a month. Camera is easy to use & batteries are lasting a long time. Auto-focus seems to be a bit off. Many of my photos are not completely focused. Color is very bad & varies. I can take two shots back to back, and the colors are wildly different from the first shot to the second. I'm planning on returning it.

Summary: Nice little camera
Review: I am no photography expert and this is my first digital camera. I agonized over this purchase for several hours reading all the reviews I could find. This seemed like a good all-round camera for the price. I rather get the impression that in camera terms you get what you pay for. I think that this camera represents very good value for money. If you want to put pictures on the web or email them then this camera certainly does an excellent job. The software that comes with the camera is not great, but then you just plug it in and you can access the images using Windows Explorer (the camera is recognized as a removable hard disk). I would say that indoor pictures in low light taken with flash are not too bad, however I understand that the flash is weak on many digital cameras, and this one is no exception. I bought a 32Mb memory card, which can store 35 really high quality or 99 medium quality pictures, which I think is more than enough. That card cost ...and medium quality is 1280 x 960 in 24bit, which is more than enough for my purposes. I have not tried to print the pictures out in any way, but I am a web designer and so really I only want pictures in computer form for web or email use. All in all I am quite impressed. There are a few minor shortcomings but generally if you want high quality digital pictures for a reasonable cost this would be a great buy. If you want awesome printable pictures that beat a quality 35mm camera, you're going to have to spend a little more I think.

Summary: Maybe I got a defective one
Review: I got the Brio D-150 because I really like my old Olympus D-320L, but wanted a newer camera with more memory and easier uploading (USB instead of serial). Unfortunately, the picture quality is terrible. Worst is the color balance: indoors, on Auto, everything is yellow. When I set it to tungsten (light bulb), everything is blue. The auto-focus seems to be off, too--pictures are all slightly blurred. Bluntly, the pictures are ugly. My old Olympus takes much better pictures, as does my wife's newer (and cheaper) HP315. From all the good reviews that I've seen for this camera, I suspect that I just got a faulty one, but it's not worth my time to try another of the same model. I'm returning this camera and not getting another Olympus any time soon. I recommend that, if you buy this camera, get it from somewhere with a good return policy, in case mine is not an isolated case.
