Summary: Great Camera!
Review: This camera is very easy to use. I haven't even read the manual yet. It also takes great pictures. I originally went for a Fuji camera but after looking it over at a retailer, I decided that it was a little flimsy. The D-560 is built well. The only problem I have found so far is that it eats batteries very quickly. This may be normal for digital cameras but since I've never had any experience with them it was a surprise to me. The camera comes with two AA batteries and has a spot to plug-in an external power source (which doesn't come with the camera). I am trying out rechargable batteries but my friends tell me that lithium batteries are the way to go.
I have taken some nice super high quality photos and printed them on photo glossy paper with excellent results.
A great camera. I definitely recommend it.

Summary: A Good Camera
Review: This camera takes GREAT pictures, but like others have said it drains the batteries VERY quickly. If you buy this camera it's worth buying a battery recharger. This is a really good camera!

Summary: great camera
Review: This is a great camera, it takes beautiful pictures. As with any camera you have to know its limitations. For this one of course if you use the alkaline bateries, you will be very disapointed; I always use the CRV3. It cost a little more but for over 200 pictures at the SHQ mode and LCD on most off the times ( I found those bateries on Ebay for about $5.00 a piece) for 2 weeks in Europe taken about 2000 photos I used 8 CRV3. I sugest using the auto mode for all around shooting with flash turn off and take the photo in the shade. avoid bright back ground. Use the AE locked when shooting people ( point the camera 4" at the face of the person the press AE lock move back compose then shoot). For downloading to the computer, I just use the flash card reader. And for photo editing camedia sofware is great. Fix them up then burn to CD then print them at Sams club for 15 cents each. Finally, for every new camera if you want the have the best photos, you will have to spend alot of times playing with it. For me, it took me 5 month and shoot about over 4000 pictures to get know all its strong point and limitations. I am highly recomended this camera.(I also own the C4000 great camera, a step up from the D560)

Summary: Great Camera, Price is MUCH lower at newegg.com
Review: This is a great Camera. Easy to use, lightweight and offers the newer XD picture storage technology. The only problem with the camera is the way it goes through batteries! newegg.com offers the same camera for MUCH less $ besides the fact that they ship their orders in 1/3 of the time it takes Amazon!

Summary: I have to agree with Bob's review
Review: This is a great little digital camera for the money and I haven't had any problems since putting in the Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, though I didn't like that the original batteries died within like a month.

Everything else about this digital camera is up to par for me, including easy set-up and use. Basically, you should have a nice set of good rechargeable batteries for something like this ANYWAYS, as you're going to always want batteries that work in a camera, so why not splurge a bit initially so you don't have to pay a fortune down the line?

Summary: Great pictures, easy to use, awful battery life
Review: This is a neat little camera. You can zoom, take different resolution pictures, take pics of yourself, and even make short movies. The LCD screen is not bad, but it contributes to the main fault of this camera which is the battery life. Regular alkaline batteries last for 10 - 20 pictures tops...less if you use the flash or use the LCD for a long time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Takes great pictures
Review: This is my first digital camera. I love the large LCD and the ability to delete any pix I don't want. I took some pix inside and the camera illuminated the pix nicely even with the flash disabled. To those who say it took poor quality pix: Didja actually read the manual and use the camera the way the manusl said?

Outside the camera captures sharp images with good color saturation. If you take a picture of a moving object it will be blurry, but that's true of any non-SLR camera.

The only thing I don't like and which keeps me from giving the camera 5 stars is the short battery life. I only bought this camera last Thursday and yesterday the battery indicator went red while I was taking pix (yes I was using the LCD to look at them). It's advisable to carry extra batteries with you. But overall I think it's a great camera and I'm willing to put up with the battery consumption.

Summary: Olympus D-560
Review: This turned out to be the worst Digital Camera I have Purchased
Bought this as a second easy to carry low price $ 229.00 and found that the picture quality is good only in daylight. Flash Pics are very dark, Battery life is very poor. The opening slide works sometimes , sometimes not. The digital screen is fine, but only works half the time. Maybe I had a lemon, But could not wait to return it the next day.. Would not recommend this model Olympus
