What reviewers and users are saying:
"If portability and a mid-range zoom lens are of equal concern to you, the 8-megapixel Stylus 830 may at first glance be very attractive."-Melissa Robotti
"The ultra-compact 830 is an interesting addition to the Stylus line. You get an attractive, handy 8-megapixel point & shoot camera that comes in a variety of cool colors."- Conrad H. Blickenstorfer
"The downside is that the camera uses up battery power rather quickly so you may want to purchase a spare battery. The camera does not come with a memory card at all so plan on getting one, and a case is a good idea too."-Edwin Nelson

Portability, zoom lens and image stabilization are the key features of the Olympus Stylus 830 that will make to consider buying it. But do check the image quality first and see if it pleases you before buying it. Otherwise, the Stylus 830 seemed to be a pretty good deal from a point-and-shoot digital camera.
