Wife owns a D-595, and likes it a lot, so I decided to buy one on E-Bay for my son. Camera works on both AAs and Lithium ion batteries (get rechargeables), and takes a good number of shots with either. Note: Litiums don't drain as fast as AAs so are to be preferred. The LCD is only 1.8" which is small compared to the 2" and 2.5 inch screens that you find on digitals nowadays but is perfectly adequate. One thing I like about the D-595 is that it has an optical viewfinder. Today's cameras seem to have eliminated these, probably for cost reasons, but they are a definite plus in sunny conditions when the LCD washes out. Also I think you get sharper pictures with a viewfinder since you have to hold the camera away from your body if you're framing your shots using the LCD. Another plus on this camera is the macro which lets you take really sharp closeups of tiny objects. All in all, I recommend this camera.Read full review
I have to say, I CUT MY PHOTOGRAPHY TEETH on CASIO and OLYMPUS Cameras I was much more impressed with Olympus's earlier cameras like the C-4000 and even older the D500 and D600 even though they were lower megapixel, the optics made up for it in major ways. I was amazed being able to make 8x10's from the D500 even though no place recommends making them from that low of megapixels. I have had my D595 for a little over 24 hours now and have to say it works as it should, however, I think Olympus has changed their dependancy on fine Optics to depending on software to process picture quality. I took a couple dozen 5 megapixel pictures and opened them on the pc at 100% of size and they seem kinda grainy. sure if you just look at them smaller (like the picture fills up the screen of the pc is probably 25% of full size.) they are fine. If your just putting stuff on the web, taking pictures for 8x10's or smaller, then this camera is a great deal.Read full review
This camera is a excellent value. It takes great pictures. I purchased this camera because I have had lots of sucess with Olympus products. I like it's small size, ease of use, and very simple download of photos. I also own an FE 115, that I do not like as well. The FE is much slower than this camera, and the photos are not as clear, although the FE 115 is still a great camera. For the cost, either of these small cameras are great, but I prefer the D 595.
The Olympus D 595 zoom camera is a pretty good consumer camera. If all you would like to be is like a walking tripod then this camera would fit the bill. If you would like to be more than a walking tripod this is a good camera to learn on then go from there. I have one of these cameras and it is the first camera that I have ever owned. It wasn't too expensive and it has been really great working with this camera. In fact I have taken many good pictures with this camera and I have been really pleased with it. I am now ready to move onto a more professional camera since I have had and learned how to use this one. Photogaraphy is a very fun and exciting art and I feel that I have done well with this camera. I am glad that I was able to learn how to use a digital camera and this was an excellent camera to start off with. You don't want to start off with a camera with too many bells and wistles. If you think that you would like to try your hand at photography I think that this camera will work well because it is a simple camera to use. If you find that you aren't into photography after trying it won't be a big mistake owning this camera first.Read full review
The camera is a great little camera that takes very good pictures. Very portable and easy to carry. I purchased this for my husband because he got interested in taking pictures when I do. I use a SLR camera and it is too much for him. We was going to the zoo and he wanted a camera to take. My dislike about this camera is that it did not come with the xd card or usb cable. I had to purchase them separate and by the time I got everything from Ebay I purchased another camera for him to take to the zoo. The only place I could find a card and cable was on Ebay. The camera is for sale because I purchased another camera before I got all the parts for the Olympus. I will probably never sale it for what I have in it and will probably lose in the long run. No I am not happy with my purchase even if it is a good camera. After getting everything for it it takes very good pictures and would be a great camera for someone. I will never buy another camera unless all the items are with it.Read full review
