 A Dream! March 18, 2006

The Olympus SP-320 is a dream to use. I especially like the stabilization program since I don't have a tripod. The ultra large 2.5 inch LCD is easy on the eyes. Also, the gray color of the body doesn't stand out like the silver bodies on other digital cameras. Only drawbacks are that it only comes with a wrist strap, not a neck strap, and the manual is on CD, which you load on your computer. This is an inconvenience when you need to refer to the manual and your "manual" is at home on your computer. All and all, I would rate the SP-320 *****. Much better than my HP digital camera!

I love this camera. My fiancee and I have been arguing over what camera to buy, and this was the perfect one for both of us. I still do a lot of amateur B&W photography, and I like having control over my old 35mm Canon, so I wanted the same control in our digital camera. With this Olympus I can control everything (ISO, aperture, shutter, etc.). Granted, it's not the same as some of the digital SLR's on the market, but you still have a lot of control. My fiancee likes it because it has a very user friendly navigation and the automatic settings. Olympus has a nice Guide feature will explain most of the items within a menu (e.g., it tells you the differences between all the different shooting modes). Another thing I really like about this camera is that it has some "meat" to it. With every other camera I picked up in the store I felt like I was going to break it by just holding it. Call me old-fashioned, but some of the new cameras are just so tiny it's almost uncomfortable to shoot with. Don't take this to mean that this camera is a monster...it's not. It's still very compact and light, and it fits comfortably in my big hands. As for the automatic features, they're great (I even like using them). There are a lot of shooting modes to pick from. It has the standard Landscape, Sport, Night, Fireworks, etc. (the stuff you'll use) and a few you might not (I can't imagine using the Cuisine shooting mode, but it's there!). The image stabilization feature really works, too. I compared pictures with my old digital Nikon and the Olympus...wow. Of course, there's a difference of about 3 megapixels, but I can see a difference in how blurry the pictures are. The only hang-ups I have about this camera (which are pretty minor) are the size of the memory cards (they're about the size of a Listerine square, so I worry about losing them) and the optical zoom. The zoom works fine, I just wish it was more like 4x or 5x, but that more a money issue than anything.
Unbeatable features for the price. July 7, 2006

I'm no expert in digital photography (I'm still most comfortable using my old Nikon F2), but after doing a bit of research on lower-end digital cameras, I decided to take a chance on this one. Because it was released only in the spring of this year, there are virtually no professional reviews and only a handful (albeit very positive, like the ones here) of user reviews. However, this camera is simply unbeatable on paper - I'm amazed that there are so many features crammed in.
After picking up the camera on sale at Circuit City for $190, I can say that it's lived up to Olympus' claims thus far. I love that I can choose full manual control, full auto mode, or everything in between. Picture quality appears to be good although I can't give a verdict until I really put it through its paces. Battery life (I use high-capacity NiMHs) has been pretty decent.
My only real complaint is that although the LCD is large, resolution is only acceptable at best. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would enthusiastically recommend this camera. Amazon doesn't offer the best deal on it, but does seem to have the best price on the 1GB xD card.
Had it for a week taking it to France tomarrow. June 14, 2006

My wife and I bought it because we dropped our old Olympus and they wanted $90 just to look at it. So instead we splurged and bought this for our trip next week. I've spent the last week putting it through it's paces and it seems like it is quite the camera. Very intuitive to use, makes excellent quality shots which show up on my mac just like they looked in the viewfinder. Last night I put it on the tripod and took some night shots and they turned out great. The light was beautiful. So far I'm very pleased. Now we'll see how it does in France!
--Update July 9 2006---
Just got back from France. We took approximately 725 pictures while we were there (and a couple in DC over the fourth) the camera performed wonderfully. We brought with us 6 rechargeable batteries though we only went through a pair in about a day in a half. We had a Rayovac 15 minute charger so we really only would have needed two batteries but oh well.
I was really pleased with the scene option. On this setting the camera gives you a bunch of preset settings (museum, fireworks, cuisine, scenery, indoors, etc) these are great. For example the behind glass setting turns off the flash and ups the depth of field so that worked great for shots from the train (except when a tree leapt into the picture). We took pictures of all our meals and the cuisine one takes great shots but it leaves the flash on auto so after being embarrassed in a fancy restaurant once we started turning that off too. But in general that scene setting was nice because it provides a bit more intelligence than auto but doesn't require fiddling with F stops and ISO's. Thought the camera will do all that if you want it to. Even the fireworks setting did a great job on a tripod at the Washington monument.
To sum up - this is a very powerful, portable (I kept it on my belt) easy to use camera. We are very satisfied with the purchase.
Great camera for the average photographer--like me! July 4, 2006

We bought this camera to take on an Alaskan cruise. It didn't take long to learn all the features and start taking great pictures. It's a nice size for traveling. I bought a 1 Gb card so I didn't have to worry about running out of disk space. I only have 2 slighly negative comments. I wish you could permanently set the picture size from the default picture size (3072 x 2304) to a smaller size (I used 1600 x 1200). That still gave me great quality but quadrupled the number of pictures I could save on the card. Reseting the image size is easy, but something you have to do everytime you turn on the camera. The other minor complaint was that I wished I had a camera with a better zoom lens. I didn't realize how important that would be for taking nature photos, but that was just bad planning on my part rather than the camera's fault. Overall--a great little camera for a great price.
