4 out of 5 stars Good Product.......2007-03-29

This camera is so good thet in my family 5 member have already bought one

5 out of 5 stars Small problems are nothing when the camera is perfect!.......2006-11-10

I got this camera for my 18th birthday, last year. Since then I have taken over 3000 pictures with this camera. The video quality is alright, and can be difficult when making movies, but it is a camera, not a VIDEO camera. I was able to make a documentary video with this camera, but it was rather difficult once on the computer. I mostly edited the content on the camera. Such a nice feature!
The indoor does take a while to actually take the picture. For faster shutter times, hold the button half way down, until a green circle shows on the screen, then snap the shot. That use is better if you are waiting for something to happen. Everything else is great! The firework selection does awesome artwork with different light-styles. I am ever-finding new things to do with the camera. It has been to camps and back, it has been to disneyland, and even horseback riding. The camera isn't small, but it is small enough to put in a pocket and sneak into Grad-Night! The self-portrait selection goes over really well with teenagers today. An upgraded memory card is suggested.

Overall, this camera is the best I've seen out there. Great quality, HUGE LCD, and so many functions it is easy to get lost in the camera. :-) I love the calendar feature: the camera can store the pictures by what day the picture was taken on. Don't want to go looking for that one picture to show your mom? Use the calendar and search through a lot less pictures!

4 out of 5 stars Excellent go-anywhere camera.......2006-06-07

Bought this for my wife for a when she went down to assist in the Hurricane Katrina cleanup in Sept. of 2005. Everyone in the family loves this camera. It is small, lightweight, takes very nice pictures and has a huge screen. The battery lasts much longer than many digital cameras I have used.

It is not a pro camera, but it doesn't cost what a pro camera costs!

Actually, we may buy a second one!

2 out of 5 stars NEVER use the movie mode on this camera!.......2006-05-18

I have probably spent 50-60 hours trying to convert my digital movies recorded on this camera to dvd. I am not technically-savvy, so I expected to spend some time, but this is ridiculous. I finally got the imagemixer software (included on the Olympus Master disc)to burn a dvd, but the sound is just a high pitched squeak at the beginning of each clip. So irritating. I tried converting the quick time movies into mpeg-4 using cucusoft and burning a disc with nero express 6, but the quality was so poor, I didn't even bother to burn the dvd.

As a still camera, this is fine. It's my first digital, and I have been happy with my photos. I like the larger than usual LCD. I also like the ability to close the LCD and drop the camera in my purse.

I have owned this camera now for 1 week and it's amazing!!
The 2.5" screen makes life ever so simple and the picture quality is first rate.
I am atrue amateur yet this camera set at "auto" does it all and every photo looks top quality.
I like the protection given to the screen and lens when the camera is in the stored made.

    Product Description

    Great photos are assured with the IR-500 digital camera. It boasts four million pixels, a 2.8x optical zoom and offers a choice of 17 scene programs. Its large, 6.4 cm, 360? swivel sunshine LCD monitor provides a clear view even under strong light. Thanks to the docking station that also functions as a camera stand, you may entertain friends and family with the results. With several special effects such as fade and mosaic, your slideshows can be personalized. The calendar function facilitates the search for specific images and an integrated clock not only keeps track of time but also doubles as an alarm. Operation is aided by a multilingual menu (more languages can be downloaded from Olympus' website).
