Summary: The picture quality is almost perfect for this price!
Review: In my honest opinion, i don't think there is another camera is better then Olympus D-520 at its range (picture quality and it's lens). I'm totally disagree with those who give negative point to these 2 advantages.
I'm disappointed with the camera body material, it should be metal but not this 'PLASTIC' case. What do you think? At this price.
But overall it's GOOD.

Summary: It's a good camera, but...
Review: I am extremely pleased with the photo quality. I can print up a picture on my photo printer and barely tell the difference between an actual photograph. I mainly use it for emailing pictures and as far as that goes, it's excellent. It also has a handy USB port and all you have to do is plug it in and upload the pictures, it's that simple.But, there are a few things that I don't like about this camera. First of all, the flash recycling time is 9 SECONDS according to the technical specifications, but I've timed it and sometimes it takes even longer than 9 seconds. This may not seem like a long time, but it is an eternity when you have a group posed and are trying to take a second shot of them, especially children. I really, really don't like having to wait so long. The other thing I don't like is the cover that slides over the lens. When you turn the camera off, you have to slide it in part way, then wait for the lens to go in and then close it the rest of the way. It takes way too long and I worry about damaging the lens if I push the cover against it too hard. I don't care for the flash, either. It pops out automatically when you turn the camera on and when you're done, you have to manually press it back in. This camera is a little slow & has a poor design, but it takes great pictures. If I had it to do again, I would save for the more expensive Nikon Coolpix.

Summary: A little disappointing
Review: This was an upgrade from my previous Olympus 1.3 megapixil camera which was quite satisfactory. Problems with this camera center primarily around focus. Much difficulty focusing in even mildly low light and many photos are still out of focus. Also there is quite a long period of downloading before the next picture can be taken. The accompanying manual is rather brief and inadequate.

Summary: An excellent camera
Review: This is a very good digital camera. I got it so that on a canoe trip last summer, I could take digital photos and put them on the web. I took all of the pictures at 1024x768 resolution. You can view them as sample photos at my website..., though I reduced them to 640x480 for web purposes.
The screen quality is impressive enough. I have yet to print them with my inkjet, but I ordered some 4x6 prints from Ofoto. The print quality was excellent at only the camera's medium quality level. On a seperate note, the battery life was incredible.
The only problems: To review your pictures on the camera, you have to close the lens and then press the right button. This is a bit awkward. The other problem is that the photo editing software this camera comes with is a bit skimpy on features. I would reccomend a third party photo editing suite such as Adobe Photoshop. And the final problem: 16 megs is a bit skimpy for film. I would reccommend a 128 meg SmartMedia card. At the camera's highest resolution (1600x1200) a 128 megabyte card will let you hold about 90 photos, 470 at 1024x768, and over 700 at 640x480.

Summary: LOOK at USED and REFURBISHED
Review: ... Camera is great for point and shoot snapshots and the 3X zoom is handy (haven't used the digital zoom because it reduces the quality of the original so can't comment on that aspect -...The camera is small (even compared to my OM-1), light weight and I like that the "lens cover" also turns the thing off and on. I like that it uses a view finder instead of always having to power on the screen like some other models. Uses fewer and easily available batteries too (can use 2-AA in a pinch if you can't get the CR-V3's). Takes good enough pictures as well (it ain't a Hassleblad, but it didn't cost that much either). Haven't compared any 8X10's with other digital cameras but have my own photo manipulation software (Micrografx Picture Publisher) that can change most any and every thing about any picture that you could possibly want to change (color saturtion, balance, brightness, hue, gamma, sharpness, smoothness, add texture, distortion, etc.) - so if the photo doesn't come from the camera matching one from some $500 or $1000 digital camera - so what, just use the software to change whatever you want and print it. Haven't used (and don't intend to) the software that came with the camera so can't comment on that. Didn't like any of the small one-pocket camera bags made for this type of camera so found a great little "cellular phone" bag on sale cheap that had some extra pockets for a phone battery, small phone book, etc. I use those pockets for an extra smart media card, extra CR-V3 battery, and the "quick start" instruction guide. Would recommend the phone bag over a one-pocket "small camera" bag any day. Don't get fooled into getting the "Compact Flash" cards or reader that show up as accessories on the web page. It uses "Smart Media (SmartMedia)" cards only. So if you want to get extra storage or a reader so that you don't waste the camera batteries downloading pictures, make sure you get the "Smart Media" card and reader, not the "Compact Flash" card and reader.

Summary: Great buy for the price
Review: The olympus D-520 is a great buy for the price. I wanted to get away from the hassle of developing films at the same time I wanted a camera that was not too expensive. I looked at different 2 megapixels digital cameras(2MP or greater is better if you want to print your pictures) and settled on this one.
Pros:
1. Its small & handy.
2. Very good picture quality.
3. The movie mode is nice to capture some insane moments.
4. Downloading images is very easy with the drag & drop feature. (I have WIndows 98)
5. You can view pictures right after taking them without having to power off the camera. (You need to press the monitor button twice and it goes to playback mode and then if you press the shutter halfway it reverts back to shooting mode)
Cons:
1. It looks a little cheap because of the plastic body.
2. Opening and closing the shutter is not very convenient and especially while closing the shutter I am constantly afraid that I am going to break either the lens or the shutter.
3. Though movie mode is a neat feature it captures only about 15sec and without sound.
I am currently using regular alkaline batteries and though I have had no problems of battery consumption, I am planning to buy NIMH batteries and also additional memory (it comes with 16MB). On the whole, I am happy with this product.

Summary: Excellent value and great pictures
Review: I love my Olympus D-520. The 3x optical zoom ensures that you get great quality pictures. It uses standard AA batteries which is great in a pinch. The menus are very easy to use and the software works well too. No bad feedback from me on this one. I'm very happy with the product.

Summary: Great choice for mobility and quality
Review: I debated between the Olympus and Sony Cybershot 2MP camera for quite a while. I finally chose the Sony and used it for a full weekend. I was miserable. I must have gone through 10 batteries in two days, and the camera is unwieldy at best. Needless to say, it went back. The Olympus has a much smaller footprint (I can easily fit it into my pocket), is MUCH easier on batteries and provides better than acceptable images for a 2MP camera. I know at least four others who own the Olympus and are very pleased. One of them is my father who recommended I go with it to begin with. As usual, should have listened to him. But hey, old habits die hard.

Summary: a good deal
Review: I bought a D 510 which is basically the same camera and after having used if for the past 6 months, it is a great deal, I have never taken a bad picture with this camera, I dont even think its possible to take a bad picture, This camera is a great all around camera for catching pics of friends and sights.
