Professional Reviews of the Olympus 300

  • 4.6 out of 5
Shoots as good as it looks (Imaging Resource - 4/2/03)

A great "take anywhere" camera, the Olympus Stylus 300 earns praise for its user-friendly controls, long battery life, and picture quality; some images do exhibit overly high contrast. read original review

Built like a tank (Steve's Digicams - 4/2/03)

The Olympus Stylus 300 earns points for its rugged weather-resistant casing, good image quality, and affordable price, but the author wishes it displayed less image noise in low light conditions. read original review

Pure point-and-shoot (DC Resource - 4/2/03)

Great for those in search of a "stylish point and shoot," the Olympus Stylus 300 provides good pictures and solid construction. Complaints include image noise in low light and a very basic movie mode (short clips and no audio). read original review

Image quality is nothing to write home about (PC World - 4/2/03)

Though he is impressed by the weather-resistant casing of the Olympus Stylus 300, this reviewer is not so pleased with the camera's image quality. read original review
