Olympus D-360L 1.2MP, This camera rocks!

This camera rocks!

The D360L camera is very easy to use and takes awesome pictures under almost any conditions. The resolution and features are truly incredible for a camera in this price range. The software installs easily and has good help information to guide you through the image editing process. The camera comes loaded with many nice features. About the only thing lacking is an optical zoom. I’m a frugal consumer and decided that the added cost of an optical zoom wasn’t justified for my intended use of the camera. Most features have been covered in other reviews but one nice feature that I haven’t seen mentioned much is the video out jack and cable (included) that allows you to view your photos on a television. My parents are in their 80’s and don’t have excellent vision, so the television connector lets me share photos with them without them having to peer at the tiny LCD screen.Accessories add a substantial amount to the cost of your camera outfit. Expect to pay an extra $100 to $250 above and beyond the camera price for them. I bought a SanDisk SmartMedia 32MB memory card, a DigiPower Solutions 12X rechargeable power pack, and a SanDisk SmartMedia USB external drive for downloading onto my PC. The only problem I encountered was with the Sandisk SmartMedia USB external drive. The install software had trouble locating a device driver, but I was able to locate the correct driver at the Sandisk web site and get things working properly. I have not had any experience with Olympus support, since everything works great.The bottom line is that this camera offers fantastic value for the money you spend on it. You really can’t go wrong buying this camera. It rocks!

best for the money
I looked at a lot of cheap digital cameras before my friend told me about this one. It had a good feature set so I bought it. I’ve been really impressed with the picture quality, especially compared to my friends with more expensive floppy-based cameras. It’s also really small compared to those clunkers. It doesn’t have a zoom, but night pictures and flash come out very well. I’ve been very happy with it so far–used it as my only camera on my trip to Hawaii with great results. Be warned, it goes through batteries quickly–we got some rechargeables that helped.

Another Fine Olympus
I bought this camera because it ranks high in “pixels per dollar” (resolution) and because I own three other Olympus cameras which have been outstanding performers–good picture quality and easy to use. I spent some time comparing the features of different brands and models in the $300 to $800 range. Dollar for dollar this camerea is very hard (impossible?) to beat. What you get for twice the price isn’t that much more with the exception of a zoom. Zooms are a mixed blessing anyway because so often you get blurry pictures (because you don’t use a tripod). Plus, you usually give up some close-up ability when you have a zoom. The zoom might be more important if you don’t have some photo editor software to crop, enlarge, or otherwise manipulate your digital pictures. Some minor concerns. I find the look and feel a little “clunky” compared to other Olympus cameras and other brands. Also, the new models are less iMac friendly. So, I bought an Olumpus SmartMedia Reader which added to the cost but is a very cool device. And battery life? I read all the comments about getting rechargeable batteries but I was still shocked at how fast the batteries wear out. Still, all-in-all, this is a great camera for the price.
