Summary: There are better choices..But great shots for a cheap price!
Review: Pros: Great software, panaromia mode, nice clear lcd, and quick download of pics to pc. Cons: Some blurryness if you take pictures in motion, Battery life, and the way the lens expands. This camera was easy to use. Tested this camera side by side with other cameras in the same price range and this one took better pictures. The included software is really easy to use. The camera has two issues. The first downfall with this camera is the batteries. BE SURE TO CARRY AN EXTRA SET OF BATTERIES AT ALL TIMES. We were changing batteries about every 40 pictures or so....which is very easy to do in a short amount of time with the "rapid fire' mode. The other downfall of this product is the media card. The media card is not compatable with our printer's (HP 2210) smart card reader ports. Even with these little issues it still is a great camera to own.

Summary: Love it!
Review: Small, cute and easy to use. I love the MACRO. Have taken more than 20,000 photos with it and it's great. Only drawback is battery consumption - eats up AAs and spits them out.

Summary: Olympus D-560
Review: Takes great pictures.
The battery life [is not good]. Dead after 20 pictures.

Summary: Good camera
Review: Takes very good quality photos, but the batteries run out after a day of use. It also freezes up quite a bit-i.e. you can't close the front bc the lense will not retract.

Summary: Great camera. Small package, lots of features, yet simple.
Review: The Olympus D-560 is a great Digital Camera bargain. You will get awesome quality pictures, enough megapixels to satisfy the average consumer and a decent OPTICAL zoom. Don't be misled by the many cheap alternatives that only have digital zooms. As far as batteries, get yourself a decent set of rechargeables NiMH batteries and you will be fine. At this price, you will not find a better option. Also, the camera is very compact, but not too small. Some digital cameras are too small and become cumbersome when trying to handle them. This one is just right. Additionally, you can pretty much take it out of the box, insert the memory chip, load the batteries and start taking pictures in a matter of minutes. It is that simple to use. If you are looking for professional-level pictures, look elsewhere. If you need a good, solid performer for everyday use, this is the one.

Summary: Pathetic!
Review: There no other word to describe this camera. Don't go for its 3MP/3x tag, there are many others things which need to be good. For example picture quality, battery life, features, indoor pics, build quality are all bad. Anyways the camera isn't worth your money. Just 3MP doesn't mean good pics...

Summary: Very bad!
Review: This camera has 3MP/3x and low price tag, but that doesn't gaurantee good pics. I wouldn't recommend this to my friends, mine went back to store within a week! What's wrong with it? A news article says 60% of digicams from Olympus are just sold under Olympus brand name, not actually made by Oly. This explains the bad quality of this camera. Even if you find this for a very low price, stay far away from it. You will get what you pay for! If you are really a fan of Oly try the Stylus line, much better made. Otherwise buy a Canon, Nikon or Sony. ...

Summary: Great and Horrible
Review: This camera is great, and also horrible. I've had it for about a year now.
Great
-----
o Lightweight
o Very small and portable
o Cheap
o Cool "macro" mode for close-ups
o Nice 3x optical zoom
o Takes great outdoor pictures in full sun
o Takes great indoor close shots
o Hold a LOT of pictures in a 256MB xD card.
Horrible
--------
o Eats batteries - of all types - forget Alkalines - takes maybe 20 photos, with Lithium, takes maybe 50. With NiMH, it will do about 100, but like another reviewer said, it quits long before the battery is discharged. And when it quits, it usually "hangs", making you remove the batteries and put in fresh ones just to close the door (and losing the last shot you took).
o The flash is a real joke. If you use the zoom at all, then the photos are very dark and unusable.
o Once you take a photo (especially with the flash), there is a considerable time before you can take the next one - not as bad as on my FIRST digital camera (also an Olympus), but bad enough so that you miss half of the wedding party when they are walking SLOWLY down the isle. Also when you want to take that second shot of a group, they get impatient with you as you stand there and keep pushing the button and nothing happens.
o The "macro" mode still gives blurry pictures sometimes.
o The (optional) underwater housing is cute, albet bulky, but the photos you take with it are not clear (because of the bad flash).

Summary: Excellent Buy!!!
Review: This camera is perfect for the average amateur photgrapher. The resoultion at the higher pixel range is incredibly clear and the camera has a useful function of reducing the resolution of pictures (whilst keeping the higher resolution one stored) and allowing you to e-mail them (I am not sure if this is standard in most digi-cams). I am satisfied with it. Of course, you must get rechargeable batteries; 1800 mAH ones are quite good.

Summary: Great camera easy to use
Review: This camera is very easy to use, and the color pictures look great! It came with everything I needed to get started right out of the box. I also got larger a xD memory card (128MB or higher would be about right), a charger, 2 sets re-chargeable batteries, and now I'm set! It's a keeper! There's also an waterproof/underwater housing for it as well.
