Amazon.com Product Description
The affordable, ergonomic Olympus D-535 digital camera makes it easy and fun to capture the memories of your life with its easy-to-use one-button, one-function operation. It features a 3.2-megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom, built-in pop-up flash, 12 MB internal memory and XD Picture Card compatibility, and a movie mode with sound that can capture as much video as your memory card can handle. Optics and Resolution
The 1/2.7-inch CCD captures 3.2-megapixel images for printed enlargements up to 11 x 17 inches. Image resolutions include: 2048 x 1536 (3 MP), 1600 x 1200 (2 MP), and 640 x 480. The lens, which is seated in the top-right corner of the camera's front, has a 5.8-17.4mm focal range (35-105mm equivalent in 35mm photography) with an f2.9 to f5.0 aperture range. The camera has a 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom for a total 12x zoom. Movie Mode
The camera's QuickTime Movie Mode (at 15 frames per second, or fps) without sound can be used to make mini movies limited only by the amount of available memory (internally or externally). It features the following movie resolutions: 320 x 420 and 160 x 120. More Features
- 1.5-inch TFT color LCD (approximately 130,000 pixels)
- Super macro mode as close as 2cm
- 4 scene modes: Portrait, Landscape, Indoors, and Night Scene
- Exposure compensation: +/- 2 EV (exposure value) steps in 1/3 EV steps
- Flash modes: auto, red-eye reduction, fill-in, and off
- Self timer of up to 12 seconds
Storage and Transfer
Images are stored either within the 12 MB internal memory or on optional XD memory cards. The XD card's small size, about the same as a postage stamp, helps to keep the camera size down. The internal 12 MB memory will store approximately 14 images at 2048 x 1536 pixels (at HQ, JPEG setting) without sound. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB 1.1 connectivity. Direct Printing
The D-535 is PictBridge compatible, which enables you to transfer pictures from your digital camera to a compatible printer (such as the Olympus P-10), without a PC or image-editing software. All PictBridge devices share three basic features: camera-to-printer connecting, single-image printing, and uniform error messages (in case something goes wrong). Power and Size
This camera is powered by 2 AA batteries (alkalines supplied; NiMH rechargeables recommended). It measures 3.4 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 4.9 ounces without battery or media card. What's in the Box
This package contains the Olympus D-535 digital camera, 2 AA batteries, wrist strap, USB cable, A/V cable, CD-ROM with Camedia Master 1.0 software and PDF QuickStart guide, basic instruction manual, and reference manual.
Product Description
Easy-to-use and great results in virtually any setting are just two of the benefits of this stylish compact camera featuring a 3.2 megapixel CCD, a sophisticated 12x total zoom, 6 shooting modes including QuickTime Movie, a 12MB internal buffer for impressive storage capacity, and easy USB connectivity and PictBridge technology for convenient printing on the spot.

Good pictures but flash appears weak October 26, 2004

I went to the store to buy the highly rated Nikon 2200, but then saw how good a value this camera was, and ended up by buying both. I later returned the Nikon.
The camera takes very good photos and the quality of LCD is excellent. I compared the photos with those taken by the similarly priced Nikon 2200, and photos from this camera had better color, more detail etc.
But one thing I am not impressed about is the flash. A lot of time, the flash leaves the image too dark. Sometimes though the image is perfect, so I am not sure if it is something I am doing.
The camera is light, but a little difficult to hold on to. Next shot delay is almost non-existent for non-flash photos. For flash photos, the dealy is about 5 seconds mainly due to the flash charging. But compared to the Nikon 2200, flash charging was faster.
The camera starts up quickly, and the zoom works well.The camera is small enough to carry in your pocket.
In all, a very good value for the money.
 Great Image Quality, But Too Small October 12, 2004

This camera is a great travel camera, but it's too small for taking close-ups or telephoto shots. I prefer the Olympus cameras with 4 AA batteries (rechargable). They're much easier to hold steady when photographing a flower or distant object.
There's such a thing as too small and this camera has surpassed my limit. If not yours, pick it up. Olympus cameras are the best.
 A great camera! December 21, 2004

I bought this for unknown reasons. I guess on a whim. But this is a dummy proof camera, it has a dial that you turn for all kinds of backrounds. I also have the Olympus 410 stylus. The photos are equal in quality only I feel this one to me is more durable. Takes 2 batteries and I put in a spare 32 memory card. I take the card out and use the HP Photosmart 375 and it prints fantastic photos! I notice there was another review downing the camera but for $140.00 I think it is a great deal. We just retired our first Olympus which I purchased years ago for $700. And it still takes great photos! I guess I will give it to my 8 year old. I am very pleased with this item, highly recommended. It's a basic camera and just a closing note there is no viewfinder you shoot through the monitor so you get what you see. I gave it to my 21 year old who is returning to new zealand in a month.
I love this camera December 26, 2004

This camera is extremely easy to use! It has everything most people need to take good pictures--zoom, landscape mode, portrait mode, close up mode, super close up mode, self timer, tripod mount(I had a Sony that didn't even have a tripod mount). Anyway, so far it has taken great pictures, but if you're going to buy this camera, be sure to also buy some rechargeable batteries. I just put in the batteries that came with it last night, and they were dead by this morning! Rechargeables will probably save a lot of money. This camera is also the perfect size. It's small and light. The only thing that it doesn't have is a viewfinder eyepiece, but that's no big deal to me because it has the viewfinder screen that is clear and sharp. It also doesn't record sound in movie mode, but it's still has everything else and it's a great camera!
Good camera, but no viewfinder May 24, 2005

The weak point of this camera is that it doesn't have an optical viewfinder (which is why the camera got 3 stars instead of 4 or 5). While we've all seen people in bright sun holding their digitals out at arm's length framing photos in the LCD screen, the best way by far for normal shooting is to use a viewfinder you put up to your eye. It'a more stable, easier to see in bright sun or if you wear reading glasses and don't have them with you.
Otherwise, it's a nice pocket size point and shoot camera. As far as not being of "professional" quality, of course it's not; it's not priced or intended for that...it's a pocket camera that is easy to use and takes good photos if you want to point the camera and take the photo with minimal fuss. All cameras of this type have a slight delay while they focus; if you're used to a film or "focus-free" camera (which means they don't focus at all), the right way to take a photo is by slightly pressing the shutter, then finishing the press when it focuses; this is normal.
Take a look at the Oly D540, which is a similar camera with a viewfinder...you'll never regret having the choice of a viewfinder OR LCD screen, instead of being stuck with no choice.
