Summary: I have no regrets about my purchase of the D-510.
Review: I looked around quite a bit before purchasing my first digital camera and settled on the D510 as a good compromise in terms of price, resolution, size, and quality. It has been a year now, and I am well satisfied. I have used it indoors and out, on trips abroad and along the coast in our sailboat. The camera, and the Camedia software packaged with it, have functioned perfectly.
It does have a few irritating characteristics, though. The shutter delay sometimes seems long when taking an action shot. The instructions are not very clear, and the user interface is not very intuitive.
Still, all in all, a very satisfactory first digital camera at a good price and I would buy it again.

Summary: Sharp but not bright.
Review: I bought this camera on Mar.2002, I took some good indoor pictures but I was totally upset by the outdoor picture quality. The colors are always look darker and colder than they really are. The brightest green leaves, beautiful flowers and blue skies could never be recorded by this camera.Moreover, the optical system is not adjust precisely, the pictures you take are always shifted from what you have seen in the eye viewer. I don't recommend this camera, I will try Cannon next time.

Summary: Excellent bang for the buck!
Review: I've researched and purchased a number of cameras for our school. The Olympus line tends to be the most durable and trouble proof....and the Olympus 510 providing the most bang for the buck. Don't bother with the included software. Go ahead and download the USB driver (available from the Olympus website) if you're using Windows 98 and use the camera's drag and drop recognition. Invest about $25 in a NiHi set of AA batteries and charger (any Radio Shack carries them) and you have a great, rechargable system. I usually purchase several SmartMedia cards and swap them out like rolls of film until I can get to a computer to download my photos. The resolution is excellent and when printed on regular photographic paper, is indisguishable from photos taken with a mid range 35mm camera.

Summary: Good first digital camera.
Review: When I purchased the Olympus Camedia D-510, it was done in a last minute decision. I was traveling back to my homeland of Taiwan, and I knew I wanted to take lots of photos, but I also wanted to upload the photos for easy acces sharing & printing later on. After spending some time comparing reviews online, I settled on this model because it was in (well, not really) my price budget. This is my first digital camera, and so far, I am quite pleased with it. The camera is easy to manipulate, the buttons are not too complex and the photos came out fresh and crisp when printed from an online photo source and from home. However, I do have three quirks about this camera. (1) Placement of the LCD (?) Screen: When you're not using the LCD screen to view the shot you're going to take, you'll end up pressing your face to the viewfinder and the screen gets smudgy.
(2) Delay in opening/powering on: This time elapse was a bit annoying when you had people posing and they're waiting while the camera turns on.
(3) Battery Use: Be careful, this camera uses a LOT of batteries. It's always a good idea to stock up on extras. Other than the mentioned quirks above, I am overall tremendously happy with my last minute decision to buy this camera.

Summary: D-510 a great bargain camera
Review: I am new to ditigal photography, so I spent quite a bit of time researching various models and prices. I finally settled on the D-510, and I'm very happy with it. It is certainly a bargain, with 2 megapixels and a 3x optical zoom (ignore digital zoom when shopping for a camera). It takes beautiful pictures! My wife and I took it to Europe the first week we had it, took over 750 pictures, and had to toss out maybe a dozen that were blurry or otherwise didn't turn out well. Pictures taken outdoors turn out especially well, even using the macro mode to take them within a foot or two. The biggest complaint I have with this camera is that the software that comes with it is not very good. It allows you to rotate and mirror the images (things which Windows XP will already do for you) as well as crop, cut and paste them, but it is notoriously unstable. I don't use this software very often, so I haven't had to deal with that issue much at all. So even though the software is lacking, the camera is awesome so I'd still highly recommend this product.

Summary: Excellent Digital Camera for non-experts
Review: Very easy to use and good resolution. I love this camera. User manual could be more elaborate and user-friendly. Locating a specific information is very difficult.

Summary: This is a great camera
Review: I agree with all the good things said about this camera in the current reviews seen here. The Olympus software installs smoothly and works well, but if you are running Windows XP you don't even need the software. Downloading your pictures is simple and fast. I produce very small and detailed craft items (boats in bottles) and the macro in the Olympus 510 is great for photographing work in progress on a model. I am told that I tend to be a nitpicker, but I really can't find anything I don't like about this camera.

Summary: Pretty good camera...
Review: .. takes pretty good pictures, etc. The only problems I have with it are: 1) The smart cards for this camera have a mzimum of 128 MB - I usually need 2 - 3 cards to take on a few days' trip. 2) The camera itself isn't very easy & intuitive to use- it took me took me a while to understand how to use some basic features such as the zoom or how to delete a photo.
