Olympus VR-340
Pickup currently not available
In 2012, Olympus proved that a compact camera could still have color and character. The VR-340 packed a 16-megapixel CCD sensor, a 10x super-wide zoom and image stabilization into a sleek metal body. And it did so in five different colors. The purple variant is the boldest, most Y2K, "you'll know it at a glance" member of the lineup. A metallic jewel that fits in the palm of your hand, and a color choice that sets it apart from every other camera on the shelf.

Technical specifications
RetroCameraLand's take
The VR-340's real strength is how it pairs an otherwise ordinary-looking spec list with a bold color. While most compact cameras stayed in the safe waters of "black or silver," Olympus brought purple, red and white into its main product line. It was a decision that moved the camera from being a piece of tech to being a fashion accessory.
The trio of CCD sensor, 10x zoom and stabilization makes for a well-balanced package in the compact category. Modern reviewers may find the 1/2.3-inch sensor small, but it's exactly this combination of CCD and a small sensor that naturally produces the "vintage digital" look people are after today. The color character, the saturated blues and that familiar Y2K look that comes out with flash are the VR-340's signature.
The purple variant is the version of the series that gets noticed most on the street and draws the most attention in photos. Great for shooting with and great for adding to a collection.
