Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Olympus D-370 boasts a host of excellent features and a compact, clamshell design. Two features that make it stand out are a superbright viewfinder and a newly developed long-life battery circuit. The battery circuit greatly extends battery life, allowing you to capture hundreds of images during normal operation. This 1.3-megapixel camera produces photo-quality 5-by-7-inch prints at 1,280 x 960 pixel resolution. In addition, the D-370 features a movie mode that lets you capture movie clips in QuickTime.
The Olympus focus-free 4.5mm lens (equivalent to 35mm in film cameras) has an all-glass element and aperture range of f4 to f8. The camera is capable of a 4x digital telephoto zoom, but like all digital zooms, this increase in magnification comes at the expense of image quality. The Auto Connect USB port allows for easy connectivity to any PC running Windows Me or newer, or any Mac running OS 8.6 or newer, without the need to install drivers. Since the camera is recognized as a storage drive, transferring images is as easy as copying files to a floppy disk. The 1.5-inch color LCD displays your pictures for easy viewing and reviewing in-camera. In addition to accepting SmartMedia removable memory, the camera contains 2 MB of internal memory for capturing pictures.
The built-in flash features six modes: auto, red-eye reduction, off, fill-in, slow synchronization, and synchronization effect with red-eye reduction. With the optional Olympus LB01 (CR3V) batteries, the camera can last even longer than with the standard four AA alkaline batteries. There are several shooting modes, including sequence (1.3 shots per second), macro, sepia, and black and white. Other features offered are: auto light metering, self-timer, date-data imprinting, and automatic or manual white balance.

Definitely a good deal,
By A Customer
This review is from: Olympus Camedia D-370 1.2MP Digital Camera Value Package (Electronics)
Although some reviewers complain that this camera should have a larger flash memory card, that really goes without saying on nearly ALL cameras. I got a 64MB card, and it works wonderfully. Can't believe the amount of pictures it can take!Following the advice of other reviewers, I found that the camera can take good pictures or bad ones. It's ALL up to the user to read the manual and understand how to change the settings to match the light conditions. If you just expect to point and click, the color of the photos will probably not be what you want, especially when indoors. But, once I learned how to get the settings right, they imported with extreme ease into Windows 98, and opening the photos in a paint program was just like accessing a zip drive. The photos were very very clear and crisp, even when zooming in 2x. The camera has four different resolutions, and the top two produce very good results. I didn't try the other two resolutions, but they probably look good too. This camera beats my expectations so much that we're buying a second one as a gift for my mother-in-law. Try it... you'll be very surprised. Just LEARN the features, and you'll enjoy this camera for a long time.

One of the best beginner digital cameras around,
This review is from: Olympus Camedia D-370 1.2MP Digital Camera Value Package (Electronics)
(...) It has enough features as a budget camera to be useful, but it could be better. The included instructions didn't explain that the included software is useless (just connect to USB, install software, and it appears as "Removable drive", so the download manager IS useles). Had to visit the Olympus website to find updated instructions. Quality of camera is good. The pictures are a wee bit fuzzy overall, but reasonable. The LCD is quite bright and useful as preview tool. The flash is good and quite powerful. Took many pictures and never noticed any red-eye, both indoor and outdoors, day and night. The USB port connection is fast, virtually HD speed, and be actly like a removable drive (with only a few megs of memory, of course). One odd feature: it eats battery like CRAZY when connected to the USB port (even with PC off!) If you left it connected, it can eat 4 AA Duracells in just one day even without using it! Disconnect it when you're not using it and the batteries will last a while. The flash doesn't charge quite as quickly as one would want to. There's a 1-2 second wait for the flash to charge up, and that means you may not be able to catch that picture immediately. The camera also has a tendency to go into "power-save" and takes a second or two to "wake up", making you miss some shots. The menus aren't as intuitive as one would expect to. Instead of a "mode" dial like on most cameras, there's only the "shutter" button on top, with all other options controlled by the rear panel arrow/trigger buttons. The result is you need to scroll through multiple menu choices to choose things like turn flash on/off, use panoramic view, take QT movie, and so on. There is no optical zoom in this camera, and the digital zoom (only 2X) is a bit fuzzy. The built-in 2 megs of memory is useless. You REALLY need at LEAST a 16-meg SmartMedia card to go with it (enough to take 45 pics). The camera needs 4 AA batteries, which can be a bit expensive, but if you don't leave it plugged in all the time, or get the optional AC adapter, the batteries can last a while. Rechargeable batteries also help. All in all, this is one of the best cameras in this price range, and definitely worth considering.
