CNET Editors' Take

Olympus's D-630 Zoom is an affordable ultracompact snapshot camera.

Review: The Olympus D-630 Zoom is the smallest member of Olympus's D series of point-and-shoot cameras. It's an ultracompact 5-megapixel camera with a full metal body, a 2-inch LCD, and a 3X zoom lens. With some retailers selling it for less than $250, it's a tempting pocket camera.

Upside: The D-630's tiny form and small price tag are its greatest advantages among its otherwise mundane features. Its metal body measures only 1 inch deep and weighs just 4.4 ounces, making it easily small enough for a pocket or a purse. Olympus provides a built-in help feature ... Expand full review
The Olympus D-630 Zoom is the smallest member of Olympus's D series of point-and-shoot cameras. It's an ultracompact 5-megapixel camera with a full metal body, a 2-inch LCD, and a 3X zoom lens. With some retailers selling it for less than $250, it's a tempting pocket camera.

Upside: The D-630's tiny form and small price tag are its greatest advantages among its otherwise mundane features. Its metal body measures only 1 inch deep and weighs just 4.4 ounces, making it easily small enough for a pocket or a purse. Olympus provides a built-in help feature that gives you onscreen guidance as to which automated mode or feature to select.

Downside: The competition is stiff among ultracompact 5-megapixel models, and Olympus doesn't provide any standout features in the D-630, with the arguable exception of the built-in help guide.

Outlook: The Olympus D-630 Zoom's combination of low price and small size, not to mention strong but unexceptional, mainly automatic features, should appeal to anyone looking for a sub-$300 ultracompact camera. It faces competition from many similar pocket cameras. Hide Review
