Amazon.com Product Description
Compact and stylish, the Olympus D-590 makes it easy to snap clear pictures with amazing details wherever you roam. It features a 4-megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom, a 1.8-inch LCD that provides a brilliant display even in bright sunlight, and a movie mode with sound that can capture as much video as your memory card can handle.

Optics and Resolution
The 1/2.8" CCD captures 4-megapixel images for printed enlargements up to 11 x 17 inches. Image resolutions include: 2272 x 1704 (4MP), 2048 x 1704 (3MP), 1600 x 1200 (2MP), 1280 x 960 (1MP), 1024 x 768, and 640 x 480. The lens, which is seated in the top-right corner of the camera's front, has a 5.8-17.4mm focal range (35-105mm equivalent in 35mm photography) with an f3.1 to f5.2 aperture range. The camera has a 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom for a total 12x zoom.

Movie Mode
In addition to still images, the D-590 also captures QuickTime video with sound at two resolutions (320 x 240 and 160x 120) at 15 frames per second (fps).

More Features
The D-590 has a durable ultra-compact polycarbonate body finished in bright silver combined with a new look for the D-Series that replaces the sliding clamshell lens barrier with a modern looking circular lens cover that folds into the camera's body for convenience.

The 2.5 inch LCD boasts 134,000 pixels, is impressively clear, and makes light work of sunny weather. Innovative sunshine LCD technology uses semi-transparent layers that allow light to penetrate a few layers into the panel before it is reflected back. This, along with a backlight, preserves contrast to ensure the LCD presents dazzling images in all conditions.

Other features include:

Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on XD memory cards. The card's small size, about the same as a postage stamp, helps to keep the camera size down. The included 16 MB card will store approximately 16 images at 2272 x 1704 pixels (at HQ, JPEG setting) without sound. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB 1.1 connectivity.

Direct Printing
The D-590 is PictBridge compatible, which enables you to transfer pictures from your digital camera to a compatible printer (such as the Olympus P-10), without a PC or image-editing software. All PictBridge devices share three basic features: camera-to-printer connecting, single-image printing, and uniform error messages (in case something goes wrong).

Power and Size
The D-590 is powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery (LI-12B). It measures 3.9 x 2.28 x 1.39 inches (WxHxD) and weighs just 4.3 ounces.

What's in the Box
This package contains the Olympus D-590 digital camera, 16 MB XD memory card, lithium-ion rechargeable battery (LI-12B), battery charger, wrist strap, USB cable, A/V cable, printed QuickStart guide and basic instruction manual, and CD-ROM with Camedia Master 1.0 software and PDF reference manual.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent, Great crystal clear images...Best for its price.......2005-06-16

This is a great camera in its range..The Sony DSC-S40 is a good competetion.the only better thig about it is its 640 x 480 resolution movie mode. This olympus has 320 x 160 Quick Time Movie mode.. All the other features are much better than the sony. That is great. The only problem I face about this camera is that its absence of optical viewfinder. If you are person who likes simplicity and powerfullness, this suits you perfect. The menu operations are very simple and its zooming is really good.The images are crystal clear and sharp..
The design is also great.. It is very easy to handle.
The thing is you 'll need atleast 128 MB XD Card for experiancing its complete excellence.. The pictures at the Best quality mode are really great..
Even a $400 camera dosn't have such an excellent contrast and brightness. Exciting pics.. When I compared with other cameras around $350, this is even better..

The 2in 1 mode isa good one.. The Panorama Mode is extremely great.. You can stitch like 8 pics together to any side using the Olympus Master software given with the camera.. You can take a vast landscape as several pics and fix it all together.

1 out of 5 stars Olympus D-590.......2005-03-15

Had the camera 2 weeks when the battery retainer clip failed (fell off). Mailed it back to Olympus for a warranty fix. After a few weeks of waiting for a promised call that never came, I got an e-mail telling me that the failure was my fault and the fix would cost $146. The camera was used for 2 weeks and cost $227!! I called them back and pled my case to no avail. I am now awaiting the return of my Olympus reject. If I can't find a local shop to repair it reasonably I will toss it and start over. Expensive lesson learned: AVOID OLYMPUS. LOUSY PRODUCT, WORSE PR

This camera does not have an optical viewfinder. Do not buy it if you do not have very good closeup eye-sight (unless you want to always wear specs/contacts to see the LED screen).
Olympus claims a new 'sunshine' technology LED that can be seen in bright sunlight. In bright sunlight, it is necessary to adjust the LED brightness using a menu selection to be able to see the LED - for shots in any direction relative to the sun's position. Otherwise, you are shooting blind!
It would also be useful to know at what ISO the camera is shooting - a lot of shots are moved due to low shutter speeds.
On the plus side, the camera does a good job capturing indoor shots and still-lifes - though the flash is too strong for any closeups. The 2 in 1 feature is useful/fun to use.
