4.0 out of 5 stars
Great for beginners
I bought this camera last christmas after a thorough search especially on the amazon site for reviews. I had several brands and models in mind, but I opted finally for the D520 for the price, its compactness, it uses only 2 batteries and came with a 16Mb card ( not 8 MB as with other brands at the time). I am really happy with this camera. If you want an easy to use,...

somewhat poor replacement for a D400Zoom
Our venerable Olympus D-400Zoom was stolen (1.3MP, 4AA batteries and $700 5 years ago) and we received a $200 credit towards a replacement from the insurance company. This seemed the closest equivalent for less -- 2MP, 2AA batteries and lighter with USB instead of a pokey slow serial connection. All is well except of 2 major and 1 minor annoyances you'd think they would...

If you want an easy to use, all automatic, not expensive camera that gives GREAT pictures, then this is the one.

This review is from: OLYMPUS Camedia D-520 Zoom Digital Camera Kit (Electronics)
Our venerable Olympus D-400Zoom was stolen (1.3MP, 4AA batteries and $700 5 years ago) and we received a $200 credit towards a replacement from the insurance company. This seemed the closest equivalent for less -- 2MP, 2AA batteries and lighter with USB instead of a pokey slow serial connection. All is well except of 2 major and 1 minor annoyances you'd think they would have fixed 5 years later:- the flash pops out always and can't be pushed back in when the camera is taking pictures (you can hold it back in, but that's awkward) - the flash recharges slower than it did on the D400Zoom - the picture quality setting is not "sticky" -- each time you power on the camera, the quality setting changes back to High Quality which is not necessary most of the time as we put our pictures on webpages primarily That said, the refurbished camera for $145 was a bargain for this camera and we'll learn to live with the annoyances for now! |
