5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Camera, November 24, 2003

I wanted to purchase a camera to upgrade the Olympus D460 Zoom camera I owned. After some research, I purchased the Olympus D-565, and I am extremely happy with it. It solved the old issues I had with the D460. The startup time of the camera is extremely fast, and it is ultra-compact. The picture quality is excellent in both bright or low-light environment. The D-565 only uses 2 AA batteries, and the battery life is better than the D460. I am extremely happy with my purchase, and highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants to purchase a quality digital camera for under $300.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 8 x 10 prints from Ofoto, November 15, 2003

I had an older 2 mega pixel Olympus and it was fine but larger 8x10 prints were just OK. You could see the difference from film. This new Olympus I have had for a month is AWESOME. You can not tell the larger 8x10 from film. As always the Olympus construction of this camera is top notch. nothing cheap abput the construction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Camera!, December 20, 2003

I just bought this camera last week and have no regrets! This camera takes great pictures in all types of lighting. The flash is nice and powerful. If you are taking pictures with white or reflective background you might want to turn off the flash. You'd be amazed at how bright the picture looks without flash.

When reviewing the pictures on the LCD, they look so crisp.

The supplied AA's ran out pretty quickly but the fresh batteries I just put in seem to be lasting quite long. I picked up some rechargeable batteries too. The nice thing about a camera that uses AA is...you can get them anywhere! My old Cannon used the CR5 battery but those were about $10-13 each! My friends who have cameras with proprietary batteries are stuck with buying more rechargeable batteries from the manufacturer. Not ideal for long trips or hikes where you dont have access to outlets.

I picked up a 256mb xD card. At the highest quality I could store around 85 pictures.

Great camera!!
