Summary: simple, good color, fast
Review: I read all of the reviews, and then bought the 340R. Works great. Before the 340R, I would scan photos, and then have to color correct, but with the 340R, the colors look natural right from the camera. The hi-res photos are fantastic -- now I need to buy a printer.

Summary: Great features, great price, terrible battery life.
Review: I like this camera alot! The price is excellent for the features and quality. My only complaint (and it cost Olympus 1 whole star), is the battery life. This thing verily eats batteries! If you're using the flash, you get about 30 shots before the thing starts playing up. If you buy this camera, get the re-chargable batteries and the AC adapter.

Summary: Great camera! And battery life not as bad as I thought...
Review: I agree with all the high praise offered in other reviews. This is a wonderful camera. I got it to take vacation pictures (in fact it didn't ship in time for my departure, so I simply redirected the shipment to catch up to me enroute; I *love* amazon.com!!!!) and as soon as I got it I started clicking away.I was a little concerned about the statement in the product summary that said a set of 4 standard AA batteries would last only about 60 shots; fortunately this is not consistent with my experience. I took between 50-100 pictures a day and went through three sets of batteries in 12 days; that's about 200-300 shots per set of batteries, not the 60 listed in the product summary. Obviously it would still be better (both economically and environmentally) to switch to rechargeable batteris and I've ordered a set, but if you have to use regular batteries don't be too alarmed by that statement in the product summary. Just be careful to follow the manual's recommendation and use the A/C adapter when downloading to the computer or other non-picture-taking activities. I had a few problems with the pictures coming out too bright or too dim but I found that by following the hints in the manual (enable/force/disable the flash, or point and half-click to set the exposure before the actual shot, etc) I was able to get good results and for the ones that came out too bright or dim I was able to fix them by adjusting the brightness using the supplied 'CAMEDIA Master' software. To reiterate: Great camera! I'm very glad I got it.

Summary: it worked great, but a week later, i can't take pictures
Review: when i first got this camera, it worked perfectly - every photo was processed quickly and the quality was wonderful. after one week of use however, things started to happen. whenever i turn on the camera now, the condition indicator led keeps blinking, and every function is disabled. this camera has become an expensive paper weight. i've contacted the olympus technical support staff, but they are of no help. does anyone know how i can fix this? oh yeah, when you take pictures outside, they come out much too bright.

Summary: An excellent camera for the price.
Review: My first digital. I did a lot of searching and looked at alot of reviews before purchasing. CNET gives the D-340R its' editors choice award, I agree. Great pics, low price, megapixel technology and endlessly useful. I highly recommend it. I also recommend getting the 16 MB SmartMedia card, this will allow you to take 244 pics in the Standard Quality (SQ) mode.

Summary: Excellent 'Grandfather's' Camera
Review: I'm a new grandparent (first time) June 8th and love the closeup option on the D-340R. It is an exceptional camera for low-light shots. Turn off the flash, turn on the closup option and 'see' the baby in the digital display on the back of the camera just like an SLR only better. Then if the baby closes her eyes or moves the wrong way -- just two clicks and the boo-boo is gone and you're ready to re-use the memory.

Summary: Excellent Camera - but Amazon's review indicates 4 MB not 8
Review: I liked the camera so much, I bought one for my Dad for Father's Day and he loves it! However Amazon's review states that the memory card is only 4 MB for 60 standard resolution shots. My D-340R contains an 8MB smartmedia card for 122 shots, standard res.

Summary: Beautiful pictures and easy to use
Review: This camera pretty much has it all - it's small, easy to take pictures with, and the software was a snap to install and use. I've owned digital cameras in the past, but this is a completely different experience. I'm using it more often than my 35mm camera! I've never even used the highest resolution - the 640x480 pictures are incredibly crisp, and I've received numerous compliments on them. For the money, this has got to be the best digital camera you can buy.

Summary: Good Solid DigCam for the $$$
Review: I purchased this about 1yr ago and use it a ton. Have since purchased a lot of other Olympus products to go with it that are not as helpful (printer, etc.) so overspent in the wrong place. I strongly recommend getting the Olympus 200-547 16MB Smart Media for Digital Camera PCMCIA Card (Amazon's price on it is better than good - I paid over $100) because it makes the taking and viewing seemless with your computer - if you can accept PC Cards, most can. The Smart Media card allows you to instantly view images, send via email, post to image hosting sites for auctions, etc. without using Olympus' rather lousy, but usable, Camedia Software. All round its the best choice for the mid-market digcam - I'm happy and expect you will be too.
