Summary: Excellent Value
Review: I spent a good bit of time looking at several camera's and decided to purcahse the Olympus C 3030. I have had it a week or so and am very happy with the purchase and the price. I upgraded to a 64mg card and could not be happier. The pictures are incredibly clear and crisp and the functionality is impressive.

Review: And I paid $899 for this camera, I wish I would have waited. However - never been sorry once for getting this camera - it takes beautiful pictures - both on high quality and low quality settings. Great outdoor pictures, great indoor pictures - however I have to touch up red eye - but other than that - great pictures even when totally dark outside. I do a lot of digital editing and use digital images in my job as web developer. Do not know what I would do without this camera! Easy to operate - but features deluxe with sound and movies.

Summary: Unbelievable pictures
Review: I have to say i was stunned by the quality of the picture i downloaded from this small black box. We could see every single hair of our 15 months daughter!. 3 Mega pixels, that's impressive. Our friends are really stunned too by this quality, the crispness of the image, and their bright colors. The camera is very easy to use as a point and shoot too. The only problem is the auto-focus that has a tendency of focusing on the background rather than the subject itself sometimes.A very very good camera overall, probably my best buy of the year as far as i am concerned.

Review: I just received this camera a couple of days ago and it is better than I imagined. I'm not an expert in digital photography, but I got into 35mm photography back in the '70s. This camera does everything an SLR camera can do and more. Aperture preferred - shutter preferred - spot metering - film speed - exposure bracketing - macro mode - flash control - remote control.... I could go on and on. You've got a dozen picture resolution choices, you can make short movies, you can hook the camera up to the TV and view the pictures, and the quality is sensational. I use the USB cable to upload to my MAC IBook (forget Windows). With my Epson inkjet printer and glossy photo paper I get 8x10s that look better than 35mm glossy enlargements. This is what 35mm photographers used to dream about. I installed the 64MB smart media card and it provides plenty of memory. Do your own due diligence, but this camera does it all.

Summary: The Little Camera that Could
Review: I am a professional photographer and teach digital photography at a Califonia college. I have both the Olympus E-10 and the Olympus 3030. They both have superb lenses and are easy to use. Despite the better feature set of the E-10, I find myself using the 3030 more often as it is easier to carry around and doesn't "spook" subjects since it appears to be a simple point and shoot camera. They are two good cameras, I just get more photos with the 3030.

Review: I bought this camera last year and I love it. I have noticed that I take many more pictures than I used to and have the ability to immediatly share them with family and friends via e-mail. If you are in the market for a digital camera there are a couple of things you should look for: 2 megapixal or higher, pick a camera from a company that makes good optics (Nikon, Olympus, minolta, etc.),durability and ease of use. This camera excels in all of those catagories. The instruction book that came with the camera fully explained all of the features. This camera also will let you control the shutter and aperature settings, this is a must for creating some special effects. During this past year I have no complaints or problems with the camera. Now that a year has passed I ask myself would I still buy this camera. Answer:no. I found that I really could use a zoom, this camera only has a 3 power zoom. The Olympus C-2100 has a 10 power zoom. My friend bought one last month and I noticed how much more they got out of their camera. So if you think you will need a zoom for that special wildlife photo take a look at the Olympus C-2100. To sumerize: this camera is a very well built and reliable. Just be sure to compare specs with other cameras on the market.

Review: I recently purchased the Olympus 3030 two weeks ago and have been very happy with it. The picture quality is awesome and it is easy to just point and shoot right out of the box. The quicktime movies are an added bonus. My friends & co-workers were very impressed with the picture quality and also with the movie clips I had taken. Also the battery life seems to be very good and I am using the Olympus B-40SU Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. I also purchased the Viking 128MB Smart Media card which is working great. The only complaints that I have are that it doesn't come with a AC adapter and that you have to remember to remove the lens cap before you turn it on. I consider these to be small issues and am otherwise very pleased with this device.

Review: When I was first researching for a digital camera (and it took a lot of researching) the photos for the Olympus C3030 were nice, but after we received it today and you actually have it in your hands - it's incredible! So small, so easy to use, and so versatile! Where can you find that in a camera. Olympus has done a fine job. I was very surprised though to find that on mysimon this camera was over $100 cheaper than Amazon. I guess you have to have that kind of profit margin to help bail the floundering boat, but why should we pay for it? I didn't have to buy two either to get my shipping free. But look around and get this camera. It is fantastic!

Review: Buy this camera!!! I paid a lot more for it and I still think that it is worth it. The pictures are really more clear than compared to regular cameras and even better than the SONY digital ones. But do buy more Nickel Metal batteries and more memory. You will need it. The 64MB cards holds 81 pics HD mode. Alkaline batteries are useless and drain after 3-5 pics at best. Lithium are not rechargeable. The standard memory on this mode is good for about 20 pics. If you pics is too dark, it also comes with software for you edit the pics. You can zoom in the editing the pics to any size you want. All the features that you dream of and more. If there is a upgrade to the lense to view further, I will buy it too. Best tech/picture taking toy out there. - Will

Summary: I'm only semi-impressed, but I've just gotten the camera.
Review: I've just gotten the camera, and only taken ten or so pictures. From a beginner's perspective, this being my first digital camera, so far I'm not so impressed. There's a noticeable lag between when I click the "shutter" button, and the picture is actually taken. With small children, that delay is somewhat irritating. Also, the USB drivers do not work with Windows 95. Amazon's technical description, and Olympus's own web site, claim Windows 95 compatability, but that's only for the serial cable, which isn't included. And apparently, upgrading to a newer Windows won't help - it must be Windows 98/Me originally installed by the manufacturer. I'm currently exploring buying a USB SmartMedia card reader, since that would be alot cheaper than buying a whole new PC.
