Olympus VR-340 uses Lithium-ion rechargeable LI-50B battery & charger. When buying used, confirm the seller includes a working charger or plan to add one. See the battery guide for charger and spare-battery checks.
What memory card does the Olympus VR-340 take?
Olympus VR-340 uses SD/SDHC/SDXC. The current buyer-facing maximum is Up to 2TB (SDXC); for older or unusual formats, stay within that limit and avoid oversized cards. See the memory card guide before buying cards for older cameras.
Is the Olympus VR-340 worth buying used?
It can be worth buying if you want a 16 MP effective Olympus compact from 2012 with 1/2.3-inch CCD. Check power, lens movement, screen condition, and storage access before paying. Run the used digital camera checklist before buying. For nearby Olympus options, compare Olympus VR-330 and Olympus VR-360 / D-760.
How do you transfer photos from the Olympus VR-340?
The simplest transfer path is usually to remove the memory card and use a compatible card reader. If the camera uses internal storage or a rare card format, confirm the cable or reader before buying. The card reader guide and photo transfer guide cover the common options.
Olympus VR-340 is worth judging as its own Olympus VG / VR entry compact body, not just as a generic old compact. Start with condition, the exact battery/card setup, and whether its look fits what you want to shoot.
What owners like
Olympus VR-340 works best when you want simple snapshots, direct flash, and the relaxed character people look for in older digital compacts rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm) CCD and 24-240 mm equivalent, F3-5.7 are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
What to compare
Compare it with Olympus VG-160, Olympus VH-410, Olympus SP-620 UZ, Olympus SZ-12 to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
