Olympus Camedia D-510 2MP Digital Camera w 3x Optical Zoom

Olympus Camedia D-510 2MP Digital Camera w 3x Optical Zoom by Olympus $23.95 At Amazon on 11-13-2011.

2-megapixel sensor creates 1,600 x 1,200 images for sharp prints at sizes up to 8 x 10 inches 3x optical plus 3x digital 9x total zoom lens with autofocus Included 8 MB SmartMedia card holds 16 images at default resolution Connects with Macs and PCs via USB port Uses 2 CR-V3 lithium batteries included or 4 AA batteries Amazon.com Product Description The basics of the Olympus Camedia D-510 break down pretty easily: 2-megapixel resolution; 3x optical zoom lens with autofocus, built-in flash with red-eye reduction, fill, and slow-syncro modes; and a 1.8-inch LCD screen. There are also some more advanced features to go along with this baseline functionality. Particularly useful is the burst mode, which allows shooting of up to two frames per second. Also, a QuickTime movie mode lets you capture up to 66 seconds of footage. There are a number of special effects, including monochrome, sepia, and re-size. Images are generally captured as JPEGs, but you can also choose to use the uncompressed TIFF mode. Most digital cameras ship with a USB or serial port, and with a set of software drivers that allow you to download your pictures to your computer via an image-editing program. Olympus has gone one step farther, and essentially built the functionality of a USB card-reader into their digital cameras. What this means is that for the newer versions of Windows and the Mac OS, you don't need to install extra software. Simply plug the camera into your computer, which recognizes the camera as a removable drive. You are then free to drag-and-drop your pictures wherever you like. Power requirements are standard at four AA, or two CR-V3 lithium batteries. The D-510 uses SmartMedia cards, and ships with an 8 MB card. I have had my D-510 for over 2 months now and am happy with my purchase. I initially spent a couple weeks reading reviews all over the web on different 2 and 3 mega pixel digital cameras. Bottom line is that I would recommend this camera to anyone that is just starting out with a digital camera and wants to have a powerful camera that is a great value. Pros1. 3x zoom (You should get at LEAST a 3x optical zoom, digital zoom does not matter because you can do the same thing in software later) 2. Retractable lens.I really like the fact that the entire lens retracts into the camera and gets covered so there is no danger of it being scratched. Some people might not like the fact that when you open the lens protector to turn on the camera for picture taking, the flash will come out and you have to wait a few seconds for the lens to come out. I got used to this and did not find it very bothersome. 3. Small size - it fits in the pockets for easy carrying around. Nice compact package when the lens is retracted. 4. Crisp and colorful pictures. The 4 x 6 prints I made turned out very nicely. I couldn't even tell the difference from pictures that came out of a regular camera. If you need bigger pictures often though, a more expensive 3 or 4 mega pixel camera would probably be bigger. 5. Fast USB connection, in my opinion you do not need to get a separate digital film reader. 6. Output pictures to TV, cables comes included. 7. Can fit over 200 pictures on a 128MB card. It uses 3.3V Smart Media. Don't buy the wrong stuff! Viking works great. Cons:1. Only comes with a 8MB card. You need to buy Olympus Smart Media if you want to use panoramic mode. You can just buy a new card of a cheaper brand and use the one that comes with the camera for panorama pics, which is what I do. 2. Software could be more robust, it works though. 3. Batteries, you need to get lithium ion batteries. If you do not have a set and charger already, you should get the 510 package to save money. Batteries will last a pretty long time if you do not leave the LCD monitor on and use flash all the time.
