Summary: Good camera, easy to use, works well with Mac OS X
Review: After doing some research on various cameras, we decided on this model as our entry into the digital camera arena. Price was very good for the features you get. We didn't install the included software yet the camera works without any problems with iPhoto and Mac OS X. Buy the 128MB smart media card so you don't have to worry about running out of space.

Summary: Nice camera - poor instructions
Review: See IMPORTANT HINT below. I've had this camera for about ten weeks now and have used it constantly. I've taken a lot of beautiful quality pictures. I didn't think 2.3 mp would be enough but these pictures truly rival my 35mm. We also enjoy how easy it is to view these pictures on our television. We've had two parties where we took several dozen pictures and then had an instant "slide show" on our widescreen TV that entertained everybody. On the negative side - expect to have a week of stomach churning frustration because the instructions are TERRIBLE and many of the features are not intuitive. In fact, I've learned a few things today from reading other reviews here. I guess the chief lesson is to use the manufacturer's website instead of the manual. IMPORTANT HINT: Everybody complains about the battery consumption. We bought the Camedia battery recharger and those batteries work pretty well but I couldn't find anywhere to buy an additional set of batteries. I finally found them. Feel free to contact me to find out where!

Summary: Good Camera, Bad Manual
Review: I was looking for a digital camera that can deliver high quality picture, but at a reasonable price. Constrained with a budget of $300, I bought this camera by the influence of the rave reviews. And what I can tell you is this: oh it's true..it's true, the picture quality is very good! And once you have figured out all the functionality of this camera, you will appreciate it even more. But that's thing! You have to figure some of the instructions out yourself because some are missing from the manual book. For example, I had to go to the web to learn that using the LCD screen instead of the VIEW FINDER for take pictures is a batteries killer! But using the LCD screen to preview the pictures from the memory card doesn't consume batteries as much as using it to take photos. Gee, could have save me a few bucks and hassle if this was mentioned in the manual. Another is if you go to FAQ at Olympus web site, you will find that there is a question, "How do I get the camera to work?". Well, this just proved my point! And from my first experience with this camera, I actually have a very hard time getting it to work too. The problem is really dued to its misguided manual book. For instant, it said: To start, slide the len cover out until there is a click, and wait for the len to pop out. I did that, and nothing happens; I did really thought the camera was broken. But if you're familiar with most sliding cover digital camera, you would know that after the first click, you must push the cover back one more time for a SECOND click. This is my first ever digital camera, how do I suppose to guess that when the cover seems to be already completely opened?!?

Summary: It's good
Review: I thought the digital camera was pretty good once you figured out how to use it. The directions were not too clear. Once over coming that obstacle, it takes pretty good pictures.

Summary: Great for Travel
Review: I love to travel and I always pack light. Years ago I began to leave my SLR at home in favor of an Olympus 35mm point & shoot, because never missing a moment is more important to me than capturing every Ansel Adams degree of detail. When I looked for a digital camera, besides super sharp images, I wanted one that would fit easily in a daybag pocket, had 2 megapixels (for the occasional enlargment), used smart media (less of a battery eater than compact flash, hence don't have to buy or pack as many batteries) and had a zoom lens. On two vacations and several other short trips, I've gotten some great pix. The only drawback is the software; it's not hard but it's also not intuitive. Before you go, either learn how to do the basic steps like deleting a single image, or plan to pack your instruction manual. If you're packing for a one week vacation, I'd bring 2 64mg cards, one or two extra sets of good batteries (the kind made for electronics), and a padded case with pockets or slots to hold said batteries and media. A flash path adapter is a useful accessory if you want to upload your pix but don't have access to a USB port and/or don't want to drain batteries. For the professional looking to make fine art, this isn't your camera. For anyone who wants to take pics wherever & whenever, this is it.

Summary: Great value digicam
Review: I got this camera for my mom and just test-drove it this weekend at a car show. It's a really great value! I thought that the picture quality would [stink] compared to my Olympus C2100UZ but it wasn't bad at all. And it's also easy to use, perfect for my mom. It's just a little heavier than I would've liked for her but I guess that's how digicams are.

Summary: Olypus D-510 delivers
Review: This being my first digital camera, I shopped every where and researched all types of digital cameras in the 2.O MP range. The Olympus D-510 is definitely the best "bang for your buck" purchase. It comes with a quick start fold out that's easy to follow so you start taking pictures right away. The best part about this camera-the downloading through USB! What a breeze! The software that it comes with is easy to install and very helpful if you read the instructions. Still I was hoping for more with the software package. If you have win 98, you still need to donwload the driver from the disc that it comes it. The quality of pictures blew me away at first. The clarity of the photos is clear and crisp. I felt like a pro. I recommend the D-510 to anyone.

Summary: Olympus D-510 review
Review: I purchased the D-510 for Christmas and I was very disappointed with the camera write out of the box. It has unfriendly menu commands on the camera, even deleting a picture is not easy. The most frustrating was trying to down load the images to the computer. The Camedia software does not reconize the camera. I spent 6 hours over a period of two days and drained the new batteries in the camera getting the pictures down loaded. I still have to hunt to find the file the pictures are in the USB drive, it's not stright forward operation at all. If you don't use the camera regularly and forget the procedures you will be frustrated too. The picture quality is fine but not worth the trouble.

Summary: Great Camera [bad] batteries
Review: Great Camera! I have Windows ME (which I hate! but that's another story) and the camera plugs right into my USB and I can download the photos instantly!! Windows ME reads the camera as an extra drive so you can copy and paste or delete off the smart card from your computer. Amazing feature. Great photos! Pretty good zoom function too. Digital zoom (9x) is good, not great, but good. I don't like the fact that it does not remember your settings when you turn it off. You have to reset them (ISO, flash,no-flash,red eye reduction etc)all over again when you turn the camera back on. Lastly the batteries [are bad]...I recommend rechargeables. Overall I am very happy with this camera and you can't beat the price for what you get.
