I bought this camera about 2.5 years ago, Have never had a problem with it. Takes great Pictures. I print out 8 x 10 pics all the time (even though it says you can't). My 7 year old daughter uses it all the time, she takes alot of action pictures with it among her friends, they turn out great.

I purchased the camera last year and for a number of months it worked great. Now it only takes pictures inside. Anything outside is so over exposed it looks monochrome. Half the time the shutter doesn't click so I have to press it two or three times more until it finally works. When I first purchased the camera I would have given it 4 or 5 stars but now I'm in the market for something more reliable. After reading a number of other reviews where people had the same type of problems I'm convinced this camera is quickly self distructing.

Would be a great little camera if it would last more than 15 months. It took great pictures and was very easy to use. I purchased a 64mb memory card (internal memory was useless) and rechargeable batteries (after going thru MANY sets of 4). Right around 9-12 months the camera starting having problems with the LCD not focusing and the camera wouldn't always take the picture while depressing the shutter button. I had purchased the rechargeable batteries thinking that could be the problem. Didn't use it often enough to notice there was a major problem about to happen. NOW AT JUST 15 MONTHS OLD, THE CAMERA DIED COMPLETELY. Just out of the one-year warranty (plus one month grace period) time frame.

I contacted Olympus Tech Support (be prepared to stay on hold a long time on long distance) and was encouraged to send the camera in. I was told they would check it over and let me know what was wrong all for only the charge of insured postage. Then if it needed repairs, it would be a flat $80. I said it wasn't worth the postage sending it in because I wouldn't pay $80 to fix a camera that can be replaced with a newer model for that money. They talked me into sending it when they said it could be defective and the repair would be covered. Another person there said to right a letter and they would possibly do a one time courtesy repair. My letter came yesterday asking for the $80 fee for repair. I called Olympus to ask them what was wrong with it. They said they needed payment first and then they'd hook it to their computers to find out. Big line of BS just to get me to send it in. I should have followed my first instinct and applied my shipping towards a new NON-OLYMPUS brand digital camera.

After investigating further, this appears to be a very common problem with their cameras. Either the LCD or the shutter is giving out on these.

I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING WITH THE OLYMPUS NAME ON IT AGAIN!!! PERIOD!!

I just threw away a D-370 that I purchased 18 months ago. It worked great until two months ago, then simply died. This is the second Olympus digital camera that I've purchased that has lasted only a little over one year, then inexplicably stopped working. The camera repair shop says it's less expensive to buy a new digital camera than to repair the old one. Think of this as a pricey disposable.

This camera worked great for the first year I had it -- then it was all downhill. First the card became corrupt so I thought it was just the card and bought a new one-- and the same thing is happening. I lost some pretty special pictures because of this. Now the display screen does not automatically come on when I turn on the camera -- I have to press the button several times when I want to take a picture.
The flash is also goes off like 5 times rapidly *before* the camera actually takes the pictures. So this problem (1) blinds the person before the picture is actually taken (this is really not a good thing for babies) and also (2) deceives the person into thinking the picture has already been taken when in fact, it has not.

I'm thinking about writing Olympus and telling them what a crappy camera this turned out to be. It was great for the first year - but now - it's just a pain in the ass. Spend the extra [money] and get something else with a 3MP.

In 2002, my mom wanted an easy to use camera that took decent pictures. After checking on pricing and quality, I picked the D-370 at Best Buy and a 128M memory card. She's taken THOUSANDS of decent pics with it and I was so impressed on how it worked with the PC (Windows 98 at the time) I bought one for myself. To this this day both are still in use. My D-370 was abused and now the lens is a bit out of focus, so it takes soft pics that are still good enough for the web. Mom's camera still takes pictures so clear, you can see wrinkles, lines, moles on peoples faces (ew) that have to be painted out. A 128M card can hold up to 200+ high-quality images and more if you lower the quality setting.

This camera works best if you do the following:

Bright daytimes pics at any distance
Nighttime pics close up (flash range is five feet or less)

To speak honestly: I used this camera so much I reached its limitations and wanted a new camera when this one died. It hasn't died. I now have a 6 megapixel digital SLR but I use both equally. SLR is versatile but bulky and expensive. D-370 is compact, convenient and still kickin'!
