Dive into the world of digital photography with the easy-to-use Olympus Camedia D-560. Following in the footsteps of the D-550, the new D-560 offers a redesigned body that's more sleek and compact as well as a higher resolution CCD sensor (3.2 megapixels) for print enlargements up to 11 x 14 inches.
Optics and Resolution Featuring a 3.2-megapixel CCD sensor, the D-560 delivers image detail up to 2048 x 1536 pixels. The Olympus aspherical glass 3x zoom lens (5.8-17.4mm, or 25-105mm equivalency in 35mm photography) also offers a 3.4x digital zoom for a 10x total.
The C-560 also features Olympus TruePic technology, which optimizes the image information captured on the CCD before the data is saved by using the brightness and color information of the neighboring pixels when processing the pixel data. This leads to digital pictures that set standards for picture sharpness, contrast, true colors, and gradation.
Storage and Transfer The included 16 MB XD memory card will store approximately 20 images captured at 2048 x 1536 pixels in HQ mode. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.
Movie Mode In movie mode, the C-560 captures continuous video (with no sound) at 15 frames per second in two formats: 320 x 240 (up to 15 seconds) or 160 x 120 pixels (up to 60 seconds). The QuickTime Motion JPEG format offers a limited resolution, which is great for capturing a short movie that can be e-mailed to friends and family, but is no replacement for a true camcorder.

Date resets when batteries are removed. I've owned this product for 3 years. The title of this review is my first complaint. Date stamps are very important when capturing an event and when on vacation. And I forget easily. My second complaint is no customizable default resolution setting. It reverts to the factory default resolution setting every time you close the cover. Irritating. Otherwise, I have had no problem in light or dark environments. Good clarity. Works well with iPhoto on my Mac. Definitely not a "pocket cam".
Broken before one year! I bought this camera from a user on amazon used, in "new" condition. It arrived during the winter holidays fine. The pictures are okay if you know how to work it. The camera eats batteries like crazy, so you almost have to buy lithiums (Which add up in price quite quickly.) The camera now pauses for about one minute after each picture, and sometimes the lens or screen won't even work!!! My sister just got a new canon point and shoot. It made me realize how much better the new cameras are for the same price.... more info
I LOST MY CAMERA IN LAS VEGAS After four or more years old reliable is gone. I must replace her. Olympus FE-250 I think will be my new camera. That old 3.2 MP took great pictures for emails and stuff. Yes you can expect two AA batteries per 20-30 pictures, but if you use it on the go, and infrequently it's perfect. 5 stars for reliability, ready when I am and ease of finding batteries. But for $59 she's too cheap to replace and I can afford better.
It is just OK I have had this camera for 2 years now. It has its pros and cons.
Like everyone else, the battery life is terrible. Others say that you need a lithium battery which I have not tried. Regular AA batterys only lets me take about 25 pictures.
Also, it is slow and has long delay when shooting picture. You definatly miss the moment you are trying to capture.
Pros: It is pretty user friendly. I love how it hooks up to my computer and downloads VERY easy. Anyone can do it. You dont need to be a... more info
