Summary: Excellent 1st timer
Review: Excellent for 1st time users I have had my D-340R for 4 years, have found that you need to spend alittle more money and get a dig.card reader (if that's what you call it) It takes no time to up load pictures onto my PC with it. I do have a question and can't seem to get an answer Can I use the D340R as a web cam?

Summary: Outdated product
Review: I was very happy with this product when I first received it, but now I am finding that Olympus not only does not have availability for on-line problems ,but you cannot talk to them even on the phone. I now have a camera that works great, but the connection to the computer is bad somehow-I have made no changes to anything concerning the camera , but cannot connect to my computer-it justs states reasons I don't understand as to what my problem might be. I cannot get any info from the on-line site or by calling-they are always giving you such a long waiting time. So now I have a camera that I cannot use in connection with my computer. No one seems to carry the serial cable that I may need to replace-if that is even the problem. Poor servicing with this company.

Summary: Great camera - especially for the price
Review: I've had my D-340R for about a year and a half and I love it. It has alot of great features, is easy to use and makes great pictures. In my opinion, Olympus has the best digital cameras handsdown. I've seen a couple of reviews saying the D-340R was slow in downloading to the computer - I think that must depend on your computer since I've had no problem with this. As far as draining batteries - it is a wise investment to purchase a battery charger and a couple of sets of rechargeable batteries. They last alot longer and can be purchased for about ... for the charger and ... per 4 pack of batteries (I got mine at Target). I think both the download speed and battery usage are universal with ALL digital cameras. My next digital camera will definately be an Olympus.

Summary: Excellent camera, but the quality of the photo is lacking...
Review: I have owned an Olympus 340 for two years and I've been very happy with it...but I recently upgrade to the Olympus 3040 because the 340 just couldn't give me the print-quality I was looking for! Frame a photo from the 340 and you can tell it is a digital photo. Frame a photo from the 3040 and you would never know it was digital! So, I love this camera and it was a great camera for me to learn about digital photography and to see if I liked a digital camera more than my old 35mm. But, two years later, I've found the need to upgrade. However, due to the significant price jump, the comparisons to the 3040 are not totally fair! So I still give the 340 a rating of 5 stars because for the price I think it is a great option!

Summary: Like the other guy said, Great for Beginners!
Review: I'm new to all this digital camera stuff so I bought one of the cheaper cameras at $300 and came across this one. It works great! The only problem is that the screen on the back, drains your battey completely but if you dont use the screen or use it for a really short time, it'll be ok. I was testing out the camera when I first got it and left the screen on for a few minutes and it was already getting really low on battery so I had to replace the batteries in around 15 minutes! Other than that, a great camera. Its easy to use and the pictures come out good.

Summary: kinda mad in monterey
Review: The technical data states that this camera is compatible with mac os 7.1 or later. My I mac uses the os 8.1 so, being the idiot that I am, I assumed that this camera would be compatible with my I mac. GUESS AGAIN! The only place in the entire world where you will find the phrase "this camera will not work with I mac" is inside of the installation manual that comes with the camera that you just shelled out 300 bucks for .

Summary: reliable, ok picture quality
Review: After taking thousands of pictures with 340R in a long trip. 340R is reliable. But I found some faults: 1. only the high resolutions provide good quality picutures. Low and Medium resolutions pictures look ok on the monitor but not acceptable when print out using a printer 2. This camera has problem with red eyes reduction. Most of the night picutures result with red eyes. 3. taking pictures become so easy that 8 meg or 16 meg smart card isn't enough for a day long out door. 4. using rechargable battery.

Summary: GREAT CAMERA FOR THE PRICE!
Review: We bought the Olympus D-340R for Christmas. If this is your first digital camera purchase, as it was for us, you won't be disappointed. Ours came with an 8mb SmartMedia card which is plenty big enough for average picture taking. We also purchased the adapter to use at home to save on batteries. In retrospect, I wish we had purchased the rechargeable batteries instead and not had to deal with plugging in a cord, but the adapter works well. I can't tell the difference between the resolution on super high quality and high quality. They are both superb and as good as I've seen on more expensive cameras. Download time is reasonable and not a problem. We reviewed many other cameras before settling on this one and just couldn't find anything else that provided this kind of excellent quality for such a reasonable price.

Summary: Great dig. camera!
Review: I bought this camera about 6 months ago. I wanted it for the flexibility of it. Great quality pictures, better than scanning them. The only problem is, with many dig. cameras is the battery life. i recommend getting special dig. camera rechargable batteries.

Summary: More then a camera.
Review: Before I purchased a digital camera I reviewed many.My first choice was I beleive it was a HP 200 or something like that.The price was the same as the Olymbus D-300R.I went and looked at the 300R read the reviews which were all good.Now that I own one now for three days I can't say enough.This camera is amazing.Very clear in or outdoors.Easy to hook up to a pc and TV.The software is great.I am completely satisfied.One minor detail.I have to get to learn how to preserve the battery life.You can't use the LCD to much.But what's perfect?At this price I can put up with it. Anyone trying to decide on a camera for this price,stop here this is the one. Pleased in NY Long Island AnthonyT4u@cs.com
