Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Olympus Camedia Brio D-150 1.3MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom

Customer Review: Advanced Entry Level - Smart Buy
Summary: 5 Stars

Ask yourself, what is a camera? First it is a lens - and you get a good one. Fast aperture at 2.4 (lower is better) and good zoom (3X)combine to outclass others in this price range - by far. Olympus lenses have always been among the best of the best.

Second? How about design and quality manufacture of the body? One word - Olympus. This is my third Olympus camera and I have never complained about the design or quality. This camera may be small and mostly (if not all) plastic, but it is smartly designed and fairly rugged. I have always loved the clamshell lens cover design as a way to protect the lens. My 35mm Olympus has it too. Great feature. All controls are easy to access and there aren't too many buttons to make it confusing.

Third? Film - or in this case Mega Pixels. I know that more is probably better, but this one has enough for the beginner to intermediate photographer....and certainly enough for the casual snapshot photographer. Don't be fooled into thinking you need more to have good photos. Who prints anything more than 5x7 anyhow..?? You're probably not Ansel Adams.

Fourth? Flash - nothing flashy here, just a good snapshot type flash with a few options. Good enough for most purposes.

Fifth? Value - recent price drop via [Amazon.com] and Circuit City makes this a no brainer. Buy it. Buy two. Have fun. Someday you can move up to a more feature laden camera. With this...just point, shoot, and admire your great photos....and don't forget to share them with those you love.

Sixth? Simplicity - you can point and shoot in minutes after opening the box. Later you can upload to your PC with ease via USB connection - no software needed.

If you have waited to buy a digital camera, now is the time. The price is right and the camera is a good one.

Olympus D150 is a great camera all around.
