Summary: Extreme convenience, optical limitations
Review: This is my first digital camera. I got it so that I could share photos over the internet and put them on my web site. The camera has the limitations that most digital cameras have in the lower price range. The main limitations I run into are:
1) There is significant chromatic aberration and haloing that appear in backlit images (e.g. trees against the sky). In more flat scenes, this is not apparent. This is a limit of the lenses used.
2) The macro doesn't let one get closer than 10 inches or so.
3) The f-stop and CCD sensitivity require the use of flash in settings that don't appear that dark, or one gets motion blur.The advantages I find:
1) It is small enough to slip in one's pocket. A great advantage for field trips and walking around where you don't want a camera swinging from ones neck.
2) The flash is good for intimate indoor shots; exposures are well automated.
3) The slide over lens door gives great protection to the lens surface and gears. I rarely need to clean it. I think that advantage 1 is directly in conflict with disadvantages 1 and 3. These would require larger lenses, that would make it too thick to slip in ones pocket. Indeed, the higher grade D-560 is too thick for a pocket.

Summary: has some problems
Review: this is a good camera if you are going to be shooting in daylight and if you're good at figuring out electronics. It is not intuitive to use, and i have to explain to friends how to turn on the display screen or review a picture everytime. Once you know it's not terrible but there are other problems. The display doesn't come on when you turn the camera on - you have to turn it on yourself. Of course, you don't need it on - you can never turn it on and shoot everything as if it was a normal camera - then just look at the pictures on your computer. However most of us like to play with these a little more and show our friends pictures right after we take them. This just makes it a little more difficult to do that. This should not be a deal breaker though. I've had substantial trouble with indoor photography however. If you think the flash issue that everyone talks about won't be an issue for you, think again. You'll take this to one wedding and miss every shot you want. On top of that, most of the pictures will come out dark and out of focus. Basically indoor pictures are just out. But outdoor, it works fine. The part I was happiest with was the software that came with it. The program to download and edit your photos was oppositely extremely intuitive and easy to use. I wish the camera had been designed the same way. All in all, the problem with indoor photograhy is a deal breaker. It's otherwise so small and easy to point and click (not using the LCD) that it's too bad it comes with these other problems.

Summary: Olympus D-520 Zoom
Review: This is a wonderful camera. My husband got it for me so I could take photos of my products to place on web. I had looked at some cameras a few years back and quite frankly could not figure the things out. I figured it would be the same with this. The first few attempts to use it were very meager to say the least as I am not up on digital cameras. However, within a few tries and reading the book, I find this camera to be the best invention I have ever tried! It is easy to use and it gives clear, sharp images that will blow you mind away! I am still learning how to use it, but I certainly recommend this camera to anyone. If you are looking for a camera to shoot nature shots of distant mountains,etc., you may want to consider a different model, as this camera is a bit limited on distant shots. For general use, this is the one I think you would be happy with!

Summary: The best for quick point and shoot
Review: I bought this camera because my roommate had the same one, and I'd been impressed with the ease she grasped it. I purchased it, along with rechargable batteries, and a memory card-- I couldn't be happier. Yeah, it doesn't record sound in the video mode, but I purchased it so I could take pictures, not movies. I have had no problems with the software either, it's easy to learn and once you know it, really fast to download pictures with.

Summary: HANDY HANDY HANDY. 007 Would love it :-)
Review: Well i am not the owner of this camera but i have used it and based in my experiance i can tell you the following: CONS
1.Needs more "buttons"
The menu is grate but 4 action photography u need 2 have some features ready 4 instant use like 4 example a burst of shots. This is a feature i would love 2 use depending on the fact that i can easily erase the unwanted pics.Spot metering could b on a separate button also. 2.The design of the camera could b better. A chrome coloured cover could do a grate job and the lens could b in the colour of the camera. It looks cheap in black with the useless golden displays on it. PROS
1.The LCD screen is grate and one of the brightest i have ever seen. 2.The camera is slim, light and compact.U can carry it anywere 3.Finally OLYMPUS D-520 is better that i thowght and far more better than it looks.It is grate 4 a first digital camera or as a backup camera 4 SLR users like me (i have a Nikon F-70D) and the best of all IT'S CHEAP!!!!Strongly recommend it.

Summary: GREAT!!!
Review: I HAD WON THIS DIGITAL CAMERA FROM A RAFFLE AND I LOVED IT SINCE..HOWEVER, THE FIRST DAY I OPENED IT, IT BROKE...BUT LUCKILY THEY GAVE ME A NEW ONE EVEN THOUGH I HAD NOT BOUGHTEN IT. IT TAKES GREAT PICTURES AND LOADS EASILY. AND COMES WITH CAMEDIA. BUT THE MOVIE MODE SUCKS BECAUSE YOU COULD ONLY SHOOT MOVIES FOR 15 SECONDS AND THE LIGHTING IS BAD WITH NO ZOOM. PLUS THERE'S NO SOUNDS. OVERALL THIS CAMERA IS GREAT!!!!

Summary: Good entry-level digital camera
Review: I bought brand new one...and am very pleased it. The photo quality looks good and download is easy. Like other digital camera, it does not take quick moving object very well and writing card takes longer time (5-10 sec between to shots) because of using outdate smartmedia technology). The maximal card is 128 MB. But for that price I can not complain much.

Summary: one slick piece of work
Review: This is my first digital camera, and so far I'm very impressed. Not only do I get instant gratification from being able to view my pictures on the clear LCD screen, but downloading the photos to my computer was easy and allowed a screen-size view of the image. No more waiting to get film developed and having to make sure I had adequate film with me. And the camera does take some beautiful photos. It's also quite small, and can be had for not much more than a decent film camera. I've also enjoyed using a few of the features on the camera, like the macro mode, and the zoom is also a wonderful feature to have. For anybody wanting to try their hand at digital photography, I can easily recommend this camera.
