Summary: READ THIS BEFORE BUYING....DRIVER INSTRUCTIONS FAULTY
Review: The driver installation instructions that come with this camera are WRONG! I had to contact the support center to get a completely different way to install the driver so I could download the pictures to my computer.This is my first digital camera, so I thought I was doing something wrong. Now that the driver is installed properly, I am happy with the camera's performance. Other than this, that is all the information I can give.

Summary: A great camera for the price
Review: The Olympus D-150 is an excellent entry level digital camera. It has most of the major features that is needed to do general purpose photography, whether it's computer based (web/email) or print based (great pics upto 5x7), with the ease of use of "point and shoot, auto everything" technology found on most "traditional" 35mm cameras. All features are easily accessible from the menu system and there are quick access buttons for flash and marco zoom modes. The D-150 is is one of the few digital cameras in it's price class that has optical zoom (3X) which is far better than digial zoom (the D-150 also has 2X digital zoom for upto 6X zoom). The included 8MB Smartmedia chip is small and you need to get at least a 16MB chip to do any serious shooting(the memory chips are not that expensive). The 1.5in LCD display is handy for precise framing of your subject. Also, buy the Lithium batteries!!! Do not buy the Duracel or Energizer or other alkalines unless you are desparate. It's worth the $10 (19.99 for two packs) to buy the Lithium battery pack. They last considerably longer than alkalines, especially when using the LCD display. Unless you have Photoshop or MS Office's Photo Viewer or equivilant, the software on the CD is useless except for PC driver support since the pics are jpeg format. If you're using a Mac (especially G4 w/OS 9.x and higher), you don't even need the CD for the drivers thanks to it's USB connectivity. Make sure your USB ports are working properly and try not to connect the camera through a hub or keyboard on both platforms. All in all it is a nice, "fun", little camera and takes great images for 1.3 megapixals. The D-150 is highly portable (unlike the high end Sony Mavicas...) and is feature packed for $300. Truly a "Best Buy".

Summary: slow and mediocre picture quality
Review: This camera should be considerably better than the entry level fixed focus Olympus D-360L of a few years ago. However, I found the picture quality markedly worse than the less expensive 360L. Images were not sharp. Also the delay between hitting the shutter and getting the shot was considerably longer than that of the 360L. Colors seemed off to me, and the LCD would jump erratically in how it was balancing colors as I balanced the picture. Mostly it is the picture quality I find disturbing. I thought my camera was defective and picked up another, but obtained the same results.

Summary: Great fun, great pictures!!!
Review: this is the first camera that is supposed to be point and shoot simplicity that really is that I have ever owned. I purchased an inexpensive battery charger for this at the same time, and that has proven to be a great investment. Yes, it uses battery life but it is worth it! I bought the 64k card and have taken up to 65 photos and never run out of space. Then I down load it to the laptop, and go again! We finally have all the pictures we wanted, can review them and pic and choose, and I have saved the price of the camera in film alone, let alone developing costs.
I am not a photo-phile and this camera is great for me...but my daughter who has worked as a professional portrait photographer loves it too...just give her a tripod and she is set!
enjoy this!!!

Summary: The Brio D-100 with a zoom.
Review: This is the same camera as the D-100, but with a nice 3:1 optical zoom. That addresses the most glaring shortcoming of the D-100, but adds a very significant premium to the price (40%). In this price and performance range, I'd much prefer the Olympus (Stylus-based) D-460. I have appended my review of the D-100: ***************************************************************** This is my first Olympus digital, but it will not be my last. It is a very nice beginner's purchase, and would also make a very good backup for a more dedicated digital photographer. The size and weight make it a breeze to carry in a pocket, purse or glove compartment. It has good quality optics, a 1 megapixel resolution (that will allow pretty good 5" x 7" prints), good battery life (and can use readily available alkalines) and easy USB connectivity to your PC for transferring images. The included 8 meg card is adequate, though it seems to me this camera, which when attached to your PC is automatically recognized as another drive (a nice feature requiring no software installations), would have benefited from some on-board memory. Furthermore, I do not like cameras that require using the LCD panel to view & frame the image, much preferring a traditional through-the-lens viewfinder, which is absent on the Brio. However, its most glaring short-coming is the lack of an optical zoom (it has a digital zoom, but these are vastly inferior digital tricks that halve the resolution while doubling the size of the selected portion of the photographed image), but if that's not a problem for you, you'll be happy with the rather handsome Brio.

Summary: Camera Size is Perfect!
Review: We love the fact that this camera is so tiny. I can just toss it in my purse & it even often fits in my pocket. It's a great camera. Our only complaints are that it has problems with unusual lighting (pictures aren't as good inside, but can be doctored up in a photo editing program) & the menu system is tedious. I don't know if all digital cameras have the lighting problems. It's also slow to take a picture, but I've heard that is true of all digital cameras (I think?). Highly recommend for the price though!!
