Digital Camera Reviews and Ratings By manufacturer:
Canon | Casio | Fuji | HP | Kodak | Minolta | Nikon | Olympus | Panasonic | Pentax | Samsung | Sony | Misc. | Accessories | Lenses
Digital Camera Resource Page reviews the Olympus D-535 Zoom and writes -'The D-535 is a point-and-shoot camera -- perhaps too much so. The menus are stripped down with nearly no options. The biggest omission is white balance controls; indoor photos will not turn out well since the auto white balance doesn't do a great job. Outdoors, the photo quality is decent but not spectacular. Photos are a little soft, with some muddy details. Redeye was also a bit of a problem.'
Pocket Lint reviews the Olympus Camedia C-370 Zoom and writes - ''The C-370 is about as basic as a digital camera get without being so automated it even takes the shots for you. The little brother to Olympus’ 4MP, C-470 it is however styled completely differently, sharing not a jot with the bigger cameras design and styling.
A combination of ease of use, simple specification, nice handling and a super price make this camera good value for its target audience. Problems with image quality will unlikely be an issue considering the price and sheer pocketability of the C-370.'
Olympus Press ReleaseAnyone can get great results with the Olympus C-370 ZOOM. Compact and lightweight, this camera is simple and fun to use. It is based on a ‘one button, one function’ design principle, which makes navigating menus and features easy. However, this camera should not be underestimated. With 3.2 million pixels and a 3x optical zoom lens, delivering crisp photos is a snap, whilst the Super Macro mode allows dramatic close-up shots of extremely small subjects.

Stylish but functional, it gets the job done with an absolute minimum of fuss with easy-to-use controls offering straightforward point and shoot photography.

A 4x digital zoom provides additional magnification power.
