Digital camera reviews of Olympus D-490 2.1MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Great First Digital Camera
Summary: 4 Stars
As this was my first foray into digital photography, I was expecting a difficult to learning experience. But no, I am getting spectaular results and was able to figure out most things just by the menus on the camera.-- not entirly satified with the digital zoom yet. But still I have some outstanding photos for my early results.Digital camera Review: Great Portrait and Aerial shots
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife uses the Olympus D-490 in her real estate business taking home interior and exterior pictures for brochures and presentations, and I use the D-490 for aerial photos from a hot air balloon. It's easy to review, edit and download the pictures, but I would buy an extra 32 or 64 bit memory card. Of course we also use it for everday family photos and it compares with any camera we have ever owned. I'm buying another to replace one that got stolen.Digital camera Review: Great camera

I've been reading everyone elses reviews and I am shocked. I have had nothing but good experiences with my camera. Yes, it does eat up the battery if you use the LCD screen but if you use good batteries like the energizer e squareds, it works great. The software is fairly easy to use (contrary to what most say). I have to agree with most though when they say the serial port is too slow. I bought a smartmedia USB reader the same day and haven't had a problem since. With the price being so low now a days with used cameras on the market, you might as well pick one up. They work great. I've never had a problem and I've had mine for over 2 years. i am a very satisfied customer.Digital camera Review: Great camera

I am having a lot of fun with this camera. Takes great pictures, and I actually think the software supplied is pretty good for sorting and downloading the photos onto the computer--for actually tinkering with the photos, I use both Adope Photo Deluxe and Corel Photo-Paint. Couple of bugs with my unit explain the four stars:1) I cannot select all five resolutions--two intermediate settings are displayed, but the camera won't select them. 2) The battery life indicator doesn't seem to work--it's displayed, but the Lithium batteries died without warning (after lots of use). The Movie feature is a fun gimmick. So is the ability to plug directly into a T.V. to view the photos as a slide show. The camera is small, which makes it easy to take along. Fits in a jacket pocket. I like the lens cover, and the unit seems sturdy. I am looking forward to getting the USB reader in the mail. Downloads with the serial port take too long. I bought this as my first digital camera. I wanted the zoom, and I wanted a convenient size and 2 megapixels. There were a few models that met these criteria, and the zoom on this Olympus (as well as the video feature) sold me on this one. I am hoping that the two minor bugs described above are easily resolved.Digital camera Review: Great camera

We bought this camera just before Christmas, and it has been GREAT! It is easy to use and takes wonderful pictures. The indoors pictures are as good as the outdoors. If anything, I am over-flashing some of the indoor shots because my previous digital camera had such a poor flash. It is really cool to be able to review the photos as soon as you take them. We are very pleased with this product. The quality is excellent and the price is reasonable.
