Editors' Comments

The heavily-hyped Olympus Stylus 300 has made a splash with its unique water-resistant housing and slick silver exterior. While those looking for a rugged and stylish point & shoot camera for all-weather use should consider the Stylus 300, frequent complaints about less-than-perfect image quality should cause serious photographers to think twice. read more

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

4.5 out of 5

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

4.2 out of 5

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
