I chose the D230 for ease of use and low price and Olympus quality. This camera has met my expectations.

There are only a couple of improvements I would like to see. The LCD monitor is about useless in the bright sun (most are) but the view finder works well in this situation. There is also no battery meter other than a low battery indicator.

It's a sturdy camera with a nice feel. Small, lightweight, and compact. For 2MP it takes great quality pictures with little or no effort. If your looking for a great camera for point and shoot ease of operation you may want to look into this one.

I purchased mine on eBay from Olympus America for $81.00.

To anyone who say this is a piece of junk, obviously they haven't taken the short amount of time it takes to learn about it and its features. The 230 takes great pictures and with the addition of a couple of 1800 mah powerex batteries you can take pictures all day long. In the past several months I have had this camera, my experiences have been nothing but great. Buy one - slip it into your shirt pocket and enjoy !

This is a nice small camera, not the smallest but a nice size. It only needs two batteries. What you need to do is get a battery charger and some NiMN batteries, and you won't need to buy batteries all the time.

I really love my Olympus Brio D-230. It is small enough to fit in my purse and does everything I would expect. I took it on a cruise and my pictures came out GREAT!

Can not say enough about this camera,ease of operation.Set it up and away you go.
