Advantages: Price, 3MP Disadvantages: no online documentation, has frozen a couple of times, only 2x zoom
My wife and I decided a few months ago to get a digital camera when we had the cash to spare. I spent several weeks looking at various cameras and reading alot of reviews, and eventually decided I wanted to spend around £150 to get a 2MP with 3 x optical zoom. I narrowed my list down to a few and then saw this. After looking at them all, I decided I'd rather have a 3MP with less zoom, and be able to crop it if I wanted.
My biggest concern with this ... ...internetcamerasdirect had the only reviews. So here are all the things I'd have liked to have known before:

...Experience…
I've had the Oregon Scientific digital camera for around 2 years now, and overall I have been disappointed. However I have a little relief in the fact that I paid very little for it through a TV bidding channel, Bid-up TV, I recall that it was about £100 along with an array of free image editing and gallery software. Ever since I received the camera it has gone down hill consistently. I know others have had good experiences with this ... ...the family album world. The Oregon Scientific DS9300 has the potential to cause upset and disappointment, invest a little more cash and buy a decent product.
Round-Up…
I would not recommend this camera to a newcomer to the photography market, a professional could possibly get the best out of a camera like this, knowing what settings and dimensions are needed for particular photos. But the camera has little leeway or automatic capability. ...

Advantages: Relatively inexpensive, easy to use, 3.3MP, lots of features Disadvantages: No case included with camera, small and fiddly, short battery life
...around I settled on the Oregon DS9300 and am 100% satisfied with this fabulous little camera. I purchased this model through Internetcamerasdirect.co.uk for £148 inc VAT and also received free software, mini tripod, 20 digital prints and free next day delivery.
This digital stills camera is lightweight at 138g (without batteries and SD card) and relatively compact at 101.5 x 55 x 36.8mm. It has many advanced photographic features (listed below) ... ...short videos. I've listed a few details of the specification below to give you a general feel of the camera
Photos can be uploaded directly onto your computer using the supplied USB cable and CD or you even have the opportunity to view images on your TV using the Video cable. The camera comes with 8MB interal memory which I found wasn't enough. This will store approx 8 Super High Quality images and a short movie. I'd recommend getting a minimum ...

Advantages: Compact and easy to use. Good range of manual settings. Disadvantages: Slow to write to the sd card, but newer speedy cards improve things
As far as I know , this camera is no longer available new, but this review may be of use to a second-hand buyer. I bought one in Nov. 2003 for Just over a hundred pounds. It has been totally reliable, even in the humid weather of Sri Lanka during the monsoon season. At the time, a camera with these comprehensive features and optical zoom was generally a lot more expensive. It is comfortable to hold and ergonomic in use. I like its menu system. Just ...
