Take crisp and clear pictures with the Olympus D-540 Zoom

by Kittyokc Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 21 '04
Pros: Easy to use, crisp, clear and vivid pictures
Cons: Goes through AA batteries quickly.
My old digital camera is just about dead. You can still take pictures with it, but it's a toss up as to whether the picture will come out clear or blurry, we needed to replace it. One day my husband came home with the Olympus D-540 Zoom, he ...

Unacceptably Short Battery Life!

by truegenius , Feb 22 '05
Pros: Beautiful LCD, nice button feel, simple operation, ISO 400 good for natural light shots.
Cons: UNACCEPTABLY SHORT BATTERY LIFE. Period.
Already being the owner of a megazoom camera and being pretty satisfied with it, I decided it was time to purchase a smaller camera that could easily fit in a pocket. The FujiFilm FinePix S5000 has 10X optical zoom but, because of the rather large lens, ...

Great picture quality and features but short battery life.

by billjitsu , Nov 20 '04
Pros: Great photo quality, features, and price. Compact design.
Cons: Short battery life when using LCD display. Flash sometimes washes out objects up close.
I finally decided to take the plunge and get a digital camera. This was primarily a decicion of necessity, since my SLR is tied up in Florida and I'm in Missouri (long story). I also am getting started selling things on Ebay and the prospect of going ...

Good camera but you need accessories

by larwe , Jul 30 '06
Pros: Easy to use, good picture quality, optical zoom.
Cons: Battery hog! xD cards are expensive and not well supported.
This is a fairly competent budget-priced 3.2 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom. It has a movie feature (QuickTime format, and no audio by the way) that's about as good as you can expect on a camera of this sort; but really it's basically a still ...

The Digital Camera to Die For

by DuxAF1436 , Jul 06 '05
Pros: Affordable, reliable, easy to use, produces clear pictures.
Cons: Camera price is fair, but requires a few additional accessories for camera to be enjoyable.
Ever since all my friends started taking pictures with their digital cameras and putting them online on "Webshots," I have always wanted a digital camera of my own. I loved the idea of being able to look at the pictures directly after taking them, and ...

by ayjay , Oct 11 '04
Pros: Picture quality, ease of use.
Cons: Slow shutter response and memory processing.
The D-540 Olympus is a nice little camera, and is doing well it its role as the family snapshot workhorse. It's very easy to use, small, light, and rich with features. I have few complaints so far. I have had several Olympus film cameras over the ...

A good, low-price, point-n-shoot camera

by denniskly , Nov 25 '04
Pros: Good pictures, moderate price, easy to use
Cons: battery consumption, video has no audio
In a rush to buy a digital camera for my daughter I did not spend any time to research on this camera. After using it for a few weeks I have mix feelings about it. I skip the specs on this camera because you can find it anywhere and instead focus on the ...

Olympus replaced defective HP

by xbig69benzx , Jul 08 '07
Pros: Easy to use and produces high quality photos with relatively little effort.
Cons: Battery life not so hot with standard alkaline batteries and the LCD screen running.
This camera comse with only a 16MB card, which is not really not enough RAM to store more than a few high quality pictures. A larger XD card is in order and we use a 128 MB which can fit a fair number of pictures. Also, since this unit uses AA ...

Great Camera

by vitabrevis , Apr 14 '05
Pros: Great picture quality, fast start up, unbelievable macro mode, supplied USB cable, good sized LCD
Cons: No sound for video
I researched a while for a camera below $200.00 and this was what seemed to be the best bet. I find that it takes excellent photos. I like the fact that you can either use the optical view or the large 1.8” LCD and that both show an accurate display ...

This is my first digital camera. I wanted a Sony, but hubby bought me this. Oh well! I must say this camera has been an excellent learning camera for me but I think I want something else now. The directions with this camera explain technical things only. ...
