Olympus D-580 4 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Clear LCD display, several picture modes, can record movies w/ sound, feels sturdy, and a looks sleak.

Weakness: Doesn't come w/ rechargable batteries, and the 16MB card included doesn't hold many high quality photos. Some night shots taken don't have great quality.

So far I think the camera's great!!! There are a bunch of options to choose from in the menus. Some people complained about the menus complexity in reviews; all but a couple of the images in the menus are self explanitory if you have ever used a digital camera before. There is also an option of having the lcd screen on/off when taking pictures. When on, it drains the batteries pretty quick. I...

Olympus D-580 4 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Nice looking small camera which is extremely good.

Weakness: None noticed so far

This camera is nice,easy to use, and the quality of pictures is excellent. Batteries run out a bit quickly, but u think thats ok if you get a rechargable battery kit which is a must with most cameras these days. I recommend this camera.

Olympus D-580 4 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Sharp images, small, easy to use, great outdoor & indoor shots, built-in flash, nice size LCD monitor works in bright sun.

Weakness: xD media is a little more expensive, slightly long start-up to shooting time, when it's batteries are removed only briefly, it loses its settings.

The camera is a little slow from power-up to actual shooting of images, so some spontaneous shots can be missed. It was very easy to set-up and use right out of the box though, and it looks fairly stylish. The LCD monitor was effective as a viewfinder even in bright sunlight, and I found it easy to use the menu system and review all my images. The 3x optical isn't much for really long shots, but...

Olympus D-580 4 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: We took it out box, easy to set-up and work good quality pictures. printed first picture within 5 minutes of receiving it. size is great, fits in pocket and wt will not destroy yyour shirts.

Weakness: cover closes hard but may wear in. The card shipped with the camera is usless. 16mb card is not adequate to even demo the camera.

The screen is easy to understand and software loaded with out a problem. We like to automatic upload feature in the software. Software has good edit features.

Olympus D-580 4 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Looks sharp, small, easy to use the menus.

Weakness: Short battery life.

The pictures are incredibly clear and the LCD screen is big enough to view the pictures taken. The option to record 4 sec. of sound while the picture is taken is awsome. The memory card is small so I upgraded to the 128 for $39. It is also hard on batteries so upgraded to the rechargeable package for $25. I know that it will pay off in the long run!! For the total cost of everything together was...

Olympus D-580 4 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Small yet very easy to useand has a lot of features

Weakness: Features are hard to scroll through..

Great camera. Takes awsome pictures and has all the best features you can get in a high end camera. A little tough on scrolling through the features but worth it when you look at the pictures. Video playback is great and the audio works well to. I do recommmend this product

Olympus D-580 4 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Weight is light, convient to take. Apperance looks very beautiful.

Weakness: No.

Good quality, working excellent. I like it, it's worth the price. Compare to other brand, you have more choices at it's price, it's 4.0 Meg at only $208, but for most of others, usually 3.0 or 3.2 Meg at this price, so you can enjoy more benefits at lower price.

Olympus D-580 4 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Nice sized LCD screen, pretty compact in size, lots of advanced features for the price

Weakness: Small memory card (16MB), rechargeable batteries should be included

This camera was replacing an existing Olympus camera (the D-370). The first camera was a starter for me and I liked the camera so much that I wanted to stick with the brand. I have not been disappointed. I find the menu structure of the 580 and getting around the menus much easier compared to the 370. The pictures I have taken so far in all kinds of conditions are incredibly crisp and bright. The...

Olympus D-580 4 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Ease of use, with multiple advanced features

Weakness: Rechargeable batteries and charger not included with product

The camera is very easy to use, but at the same time has many advanced features found on more expensive cameras. The photo quality is superb at 4 MP and was ready to use right out of the box. The small size makes it extremely easy to carry with you in a shirt pocket. Olympus has a first class product line.
