7.1-Megapixel Image Sensor for Superior Image Quality
The 7.1-megapixel CCD image sensor inside the SP-320 delivers high-quality images that are consistently sharp and vivid even in large-format prints--up to poster sizes as large as 16 by 20 inches.

High-Quality Olympus Lens Elements
Olympus photos are known worldwide for sharp, vibrant image quality. This is achieved through a number of key technologies, such as Olympus's high-refractive-index aspherical lens elements, designed specifically for digital cameras. The lens provides the equivalent of 38 to 114mm focal length, f2.8 to f4.9 in 35mm photography, with 15x combined total zoom (3x optical and 5x digital) to bring the action closer, and a Super Macro Mode that captures the most subtle details from as close as 0.8 inches (2 centimeters).
Large 2.5-Inch LCD
Composing and reviewing images is far easier when you don't have to strain. The 115,000-pixel anti-glare LCD enables you to view images in large and vivid detail. Now you don't have to download and print images each time you want to share them--you can treat your friends and family to a slide show right on the back of your camera.

Full Manual and Automatic Control
The Manual, Aperture Priority, and Shutter Priority modes give users versatility and control for optimal performance in any situation. Users can express their creative vision--adjusting the f-stop for detailed portraits with softened backgrounds, or slowing the exposure speed to create the blurred effect of motion--or just sit back and let the camera do the work with the automatic settings.

Digital Image Stabilization Mode
The SP-320 features Digital Image Stabilization Mode for capturing crisp, clear pictures--free from the blur sometimes caused by camera shake or moving subjects--with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speed.

Olympus SP-320 Digital camera user reviews

"I have had this Olympus SP-320 Digital camera for three months with the same alkaline batteries I popped in when I got it. Granted, I've only taken about 40 pictures (30 flash) and my good battery results may be due to my occasional use. I feel this is a great point and shoot for the money. The pictures are great and downloading them via card reader or included USB cable is simple and fast. The only con for me is the manual settings are too tedious for me to deal with but every other camera I have had at this level was the same same. "

"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! "

"Pros: Great pictures, optical viewfinder, Uses AA batteries

Cons: None yet and not expecting any.

Summary: Varies settings easily made. Not the smallest p and s, but don't let this stop you. My second Olympus digital camera and not disappointed,. "

"Pros: Easy to use

Cons: Wide angle would be nice but there is a wide adapter for it.

Summary: I am an avid amateur photographer. I like portraits, landscapes, and action shots. I am tired of setting cameras correctly to get the right shot. On the SD320 it is all done for you with 25 programmed modes which work beautifully. The add on underwater case is also a brilliant idea. For under 300 bucks, you can't go wrong. At 7.1 megapixels, go ahead and blow up your shot to a 16x20. Loose a litle quality but still a nice picture. "

"Pros: Much more than a simple snapshot camera

Cons: Wish it had wide angle

Summary: This camera's baby brother (the 310)is already supported by Adobe Camera Raw!
Here is a inexpensive camera, with full manual controls and can write RAW. Uses AA batteries which is great cause I already invested in an expensive charger. I don't want to get into an SLR system that costs 4X as much cause it will be obsolite in 3 years! Technology today makes for disposible hardware. "
