Summary: Wonderful camera, only a TINY problem focusing...no biggy.
Review: I just got the olympus d-565 yesterday and so far I am VERY pleased! The quality of the pictures are great and it's pretty easy to use. The ONLY problem I've had is that it takes a little longer than I expected to focus but, it's not a big prob! I definitley reccomend this camera to new and old camera photographers! I hope this was helpful!

Review: I recently bought this for some travels and have found it to be a superb camera. It's simple to use, nice small size, takes great pictures, download is easy... what else can I say! If you're looking for a great quality digital camera (4mp for this price is worth it) that's easy to use, this is the one.

Summary: Wonderful Camera
Review: I wanted to purchase a camera to upgrade the Olympus D460 Zoom camera I owned. After some research, I purchased the Olympus D-565, and I am extremely happy with it. It solved the old issues I had with the D460. The startup time of the camera is extremely fast, and it is ultra-compact. The picture quality is excellent in both bright or low-light environment. The D-565 only uses 2 AA batteries, and the battery life is better than the D460. I am extremely happy with my purchase, and highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants to purchase a quality digital camera for under $300.

Summary: Great Pictures; So-So Manual
Review: I've been a professional photographer for more than 30 years (4x5, 220, 35mm, etc.) and a maxim is: NEVER use an unknown piece of equipment for an unrepeatable event! My old 35mm died on the day I had to fly out for a funeral. I bought the D-565 and 128Mb card at a supermarket on my way to the airport. READ THE MANUAL, loaded fresh batteries, shot test pix at airport - SMILED!! Bottom line: Great focus, color saturation, flash/fill, ease of use, subject satisfaction! 6 to 8 shots on alkaline batteries - ordered AC Adapter from Amazon.com - carry pocket full of AA's when prowling for shots. Love it! Pix are incredible on my Big-Screen TV!!
Gripes: Sucks AA's dry far too quickly. REALLY needs NiMH's or recommended AC adapter for downloads, etc.
Get a D-565 while you can and get out there!

Summary: Good picture quality, but poor user interfaces
Review: This is our first family digital camera. We bought it mainly because it was on sale, and it came with the highest mega pixel in the market at the time of purchase. It produces good quality pictures I must say. However, the design of user-interface for the camera need more improvement. I agree with one the reviewer who mentioned that the cover slides open easily, and even a slight push on the cover while taking pictures would turn the camera off, which was annoying as one has to push the cover open again and wait for the lense to extent, an anti-climax for people wanting a quick shot! another weakpoint about its-user interface, is that, one can't view the pictures with the cover 'open'. One has to turn off the camera (closing the cover), and only then the viewfinder menu would work. pretty annoying when one wishes to view the picture immediately after the shot, needing to shut down the camera, view and turn it on again for the next shot! I think the viewfinder uses up too much battery, and we had to reserve energy by switching off the viewfinder while taking pictures! what do you think? having a viewfinder is one of the main feature of a digital camera!!!! I think the camera should be designed to recharge the batteries without having to remove them, and this camera uses AA batteries, which dries out very quickly when we use the viewfinder. Another bummer today.. I was transfering the photos from the camera to my PC and and the camera has to be turned on all the while (meaning the cover has to be opened with the lenses extended). without realising it, the battery ran out, now I can't retract the lenses and it is still sticking out till I get home to change the batteries! How high tech! Guess I have more dissapointment to discover! This is an expensive lesson to learn on digital cameras. For first timers, I would suggest to invest some money on digital cameras magazines and check out reviews on the Net, learn more about them, go to shops, toy with them before buying them impulsively!!! Am looking for a new camera now!
