Summary: Best entry-level digicam!
Review: This is my first digital camera and I can't be more happy with this litle beauty. Compact size, slik design, great picture quality and very easy to use. For the price, you can't get anything better than the D-520... Go, buy it.

Summary: Nice Camera BUT Be Aware!
Review: The Olympus D-520 is a nice camera. Easy to use, nice zoom, sharp photos and the Camedia Master 4.0 software (included) for editing is good and also easy to use. It would be a fine digital camera for a first time buyer. And, very good if you want to take photos and just print them.

HOWEVER - You must upgrade to Camedia Pro 4.0 PRO software (online for twenty bucks)to be able to email a photo and there is no way around it. Even with the PRO software you will not be able to email photos if AOL or CompuServe is your ISP. You also must use the upgrade if you want to use ANY OTHER photo editing program. So, please be aware of this, I wasn't.

Summary: Simple, but good
Review: Great camera. I got it working it under five minutes. It is basicly dumby proof.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Buy
Review: Gotta say I made a great purchase when I chose this camera.
The quality of the picture is awesome. The camera is easy to use and is not huge. The only problem is that you have to wait a lot from picture to picture. It has 2 megapixels, good zoom and take great quality pictures.

Summary: perfect for newbies
Review: This camera is perfect for the point-and-shoot enthusiast-- 2 megapixels is enough to print out 4x6 (or even 8x10) photos, and much better than needed for your computer screen, if you decide to have a digital album. You'll be amazed at the detail it captures. The 3x optical zoom is fantastic too (I had no zoom on my previous camera, so my wildlife photos were 99% scenery, 1% animal). It is better than the Toshiba PDR M25 (a very similarly rated camera that you may be looking at also)-- it is lighter, uses only 2 batteries instead of 4, automatically protects the lens upon turning it off, and has been more reliable for me. It's worth the few extra bucks.
I've long sought to replace my 35mm camera with a digital one, not just because of the instant gratification, but also because it is more environmentally friendly-- no chemicals needed unless you decide to actually print out the photos, and even then, I'm pretty sure it's better than the typical processing.
Of the drawbacks, the movie mode has no sound and goes for 15 second bursts only. But you probably shouldn't be making movies on your camera anyway, since it's difficult to keep it steady, and using the LCD screen eats up batteries quickly. But it's fun, in case you want to put a mini-movie on your website.

Summary: Easy to use quality camera
Review: The Olympus 520 is a nice camera to own and use. It is much
faster to snap the picture than others i have tried. It works
well with the newer 'digital' charge type NIMH 1800ma
rechargeable batteries or the cvr3 battery pack. Do not
bother using regular aa alkalines or a non-digital type charger for NIMH's. I like that it uses just two aa's, keeps it thin and lightweight. First off, get a 128 meg smart media memory card for the camera. They are under $50 now. You will enjoy how the camera immediately works and downloads in windoes XP (a driver must be loaded the first time in Win 98). The camera design is compact to fit in a shirt pocket, not to heavy but solidly built unlike some others, especially the similar Fuji is quite plastic feeling to me. You will want to set the camera
to be in the 'show preview mode' so you can see the picture
you just took for a couple seconds. Also, I turned off the
annoying beeping sounds. I like the Olympus lens cover design.
It is the same as their regular cameras have had for years.
For the money and the size this lightweight but solidly built
camera is a winner. It should however be sold with a 64 or 128mb
storage card as should all of the digital cameras. My camera
did not come with any case, only a hand strap.

Summary: Olympus 520
Review: If your looking for a better digital camera to start up with this is the one. I have 6 digital cameras all the way up to [$$$} and are better but they are all Olympus. For one to keep in your pocket when you want a photo this is it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice Camera
Review: Perfect for a first digital camera, found camera and software easy to learn and use. Has twice the memory card for many in it's price range, potentially saving you some cash. Battery time is terrible, doesn't last more than a week although this could be typical I don't know. I've seen this exact camera cheaper at a couple different places, Costco being one, so shop around if looking at this particular model. Happy with my purchase!!

Summary: Tuck Everlasting
Review: It was a very good book. I think kids at the age of 10 to 17 sould read this book because it would relate to them really well. The book is aboute a 10 year old girl who didnt relly like her parents and then she ran away. And then she found a boy in the woods. I can not tell you any more because i rather have you read the book insted of reading this so buy the book and read it.
