Olympus SP-310 Digital camera user reviews

    "I recently bought this Olympus SP-310 Digital camera camera as a backup to our larger more complicated digital SLR. It ended up becoming our main camera while we were on vacation--not only is it light & easy to use but the images it creates are absolutely stunning. Very light but with a nice firm feel & a joy to use. Works great with my G4 laptop & iphoto. It's only the beginning of summer & I've taken over 500 photos. A great camera for a great price! Highly recommended! "

    "Have a look at the pictures taken with this housing coupled with the Olympus SP-320. I did not use any strobes! Just used the internal flash on most of the macro shots and no flash on the shots when the subjects are further from the camera. is tough as nails!! I dropped it accidentally, and nothing happened. Not even a stratch. I have complete confidience in Olympus housings"

    "I used this Case with my SP 350 on a trip to Gennie Springs FL. It was AWSOME! It was easy to use with the underwater settings. I also liked the ability to film short movies. It comes with a little weight to help balance the camera out and a few exras. It does not fogg up! I can't wait to use it agian"

    "I've had great expereinces with Olympus cameras in the 1970's and 1980's; however, the SP 310 was disappointing. Frustrating service response from Olympus. Camera was eventually repaired to fix the battery consumption problem. I would consider buying another Olympus product, but would shy away from another SP -310. "

    "This Olympus SP-310 Digital camera used with an underwater housing produces great photos without a lot of fuss. The selection of shooting modes is very versatile and easy to use even for someone just getting started with digital photography.
