Olympus D-560 Digital CameraStereo Advantage Review Pending The Olympus D-560 Digital Camera has received several excellent reviews:The D-560 Zoom is the next generation of Olympus'
user-friendly "D" series digicams. With its available Scene shooting modes,
3.3-megapixel CCD, and 3x optical zoom lens, the D-560 Zoom is flexible,
convenient, and easy to use. The point-and-shoot style will put novices at ease,
while a handful of exposure and capture modes keeps the camera fun. The D-560
Zoom's compact size is perfect for travel as well. With a street price at
introduction of $299, the D-560 Zoom is an affordable option for any consumer
looking to step into digital photography without making a large investment. With
its easy "pocketability," the D-560 Zoom is also a good second camera for more
experienced enthusiasts. Overall, a very nice "all around" digicam.
The Olympus D-560Z does what
it's intended to do: take good photos with point-and-shoot ease-of-use (that's a
lot of hyphens). That makes it a fairly average camera in the low cost 3
Megapixel arena (being the the Canon PowerShot A70, Nikon Coolpix 3100, and Sony
DSC-P72). Photo quality is competitive, as is the performance. The movie mode is
probably the worst of the bunch. I would've really liked to see some longer
shutter speeds, control over ISO sensitivity, and manual white balance. An AF
illuminator wouldn't hurt either. Right now, the only camera in the crowd to
offer full manual controls, a nice movie mode, and an AF illuminator is the
Canon A70, which remains my top pick. But for folks who just want a
point-and-shoot camera without a lot of bells and whistles, the D-560 Zoom is
certainly worth a look. See full Olympus D-560 Digital Camera reviews at DCResource.com and imaging-resource.com
