Key Advantages

The Olympus D-380 provides easy-to-use functionality suitable for beginner photographers. It offers a versatile 3x optical zoom lens which is useful for capturing subjects at various distances. The compact and lightweight design makes it convenient for everyday use. The camera supports JPEG image format for better storage efficiency. Using widely available AA batteries ensures quick and easy replacement in the field. Additionally, it has a straightforward interface that helps users capture images without complex adjustments.

Limitations

The image resolution of 3.2 megapixels is quite low compared to modern digital cameras, limiting print size and cropping flexibility. The camera lacks advanced manual controls for exposure and focus, which may restrict creative photography. It uses USB 1.1, resulting in slower data transfer speeds to computers. The fixed lens zoom range is relatively limited, not ideal for more distant subjects. Battery life using AA batteries is shorter compared to rechargeable lithium-ion batteries found in newer models. The camera's LCD screen is small and low-resolution, affecting image review quality.
