Olympus Camedia D-520 Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: Good prints, convenient to travel with, reliable quality.
Cons: Short delay in image capturing once you press the shoot button. Drains batteries quickly.

All right, I'm going to be brutally honest with you. I bought this camera as a wedding present for some very good friends of mine who are getting married. I chose it because I have a very similar model (D-510). But I'm not going to see my friends ...

Pros: Price, image quality.
Cons: Focusing under low-lit conditions, manual.

The Olympus D-520 Zoom is also sold under the name C-220 Zoom. I bought it because it was a rather cheap offer for a 2-megapixel camera (probably to get rid of old stock, I believe it is no longer in production). However, rechargeable batteries (2xAA), ...

Pros: Durable, Great looking prints, relatively inexpensive, Good optics
Cons: Quick battery drain, long wait between flash shots, poor low-light capture

My wife and received this camera as a wedding gift, and it is the first digital camera we've ever ow ...

Pros: Compact, optical zoom, inexpensive
Cons: Slow as molasses, awful autofocus, awful colour balance

I bought this camera when it was time to trade up from a 1 megapixel camera, a Fuji FinePix (1300). I liked the optical 3x zoom on the Camedia, and a friend recommended it. Big mistake. The D-520 has a terrible autofocus -- about 80% of my pictures ...

Pros: Compact, Uses AA batteries, Good Picture Quality, Inexpensive
Cons: Does not do well with action shots, slow recovery to take next shot

Ever come across something that we wish you had a camera with you? My wife and I do all the time. W ...

Pros: size, ease of use, optical zoom, quality of photos
Cons: battery life, need to set date and time after putting in new batteries

I absolutely love this camera.

I very recently took several photos at my 2-year-old grandson's birthday party, and was very pleased with the results. Great lighting, focus, and detail in the photos. Nice to see the results on my computer...

Pros: Cheap, small and easy to use. Delivers quality pix.
Cons: Slow "film" speed, and the widest angle ain't wide enough

A few months ago I bought a D-510 for my wife, who's a schoolteacher. She wanted something decent to use for her classroom, and that would interface via USB with her iBook. Well, I began to covet her camera after seeing the first few shots, but I figured...

Pros: price, 3x optical zoom, ASA-speed, panorama, vid clips
Cons: only 2.1MP, no sound in vid clips, slightly annoying GUI

I bought this guy about a year ago, and it cost $300 at the time. That was a good price, and the current $150-200 range is very good.

This was the only camera in my price range (at the time) that gave me an equivalent of ASA-400 speed film....

Pros: Simple, reliable, fair resolution, acceptable zoom (digital and optical)
Cons: Bad software, fragile, small disk

Well, my dad received this camera free from his company out of a gift catalog at Christmas time. That was one and a half years ago. At the time, it wasn't top of the line, but very good. 2.1 megapixels did (and still do) create acceptable images: fairly ...

Pros: Inexpensive, good pictures, light weight, inexpensive media, decent features
Cons: Only comes with 16mb media, but can be expanded to 128.

I've used a lot of digital cameras, but this is the first that I purchased. I was looking for a camera to put items on Ebay and take quick shots of events and gatherings. This product fits the bill! Usage: The Olympus is very easy to use. I found ...

Pros: Good picture quality, lightweight, easy to use, photo-software, zoom and video output
Cons: Poor battery life, small memory, dull LCD screen

I bought this digital camera for my sister-in-law and I almost wanted to keep it. With 2.1 million-pixels, 3.5x optical zoom and a movie mode it is a bargain at $170. Pros Good picture quality. 2.1 million-pixels delivers crisp picture quality even ...

Pros: The flash is awesome bright. Color and exposure perfect. Battery life good (NiMH).
Cons: A bit slow on flash recharge.

A perfect camera for someone who doesn't need 8x10 prints. I use it for web shots, and a lot of 4x6 printing. It has typical Olympus flawless exposure and color. It is small enough to put in a (large) shirt pocket. It has a great sliding cover/switch ...

Pros: easy to use; X3 optical zoom; good quality for 2.0 mega pixel cam
Cons: slow shooting between flash shots; picky smartmedia card

Saw this Olympus D520 on clearance at Office Depot about a month ago and couldn't pass up such a goo ...

Pros: Vivid Colors, Good Flash light, Nice quality
Cons: Blurry images if not steady when taking pictures.

I do a lot of graphics designs. I'm very demanding in graphics and image quality. This camera is giving me the type of image quality that I need. I love the colors. I don't print the images, just save them in my Hard Disk or the Web to use them for...

Pros: Reliable as a point and shoot camera in most conditions
Cons: awkward to close, requires setting adjustments EVERY time you turn it on, eats batteries

This is my 5th dig. camera and my 2nd Olympus. While I remain happy with the quality of images that Olympus cameras produce, I am very displeased with the amount of reading, memorization, and battery use that are required to gain access to most all...
