The affordable, ergonomic Olympus D-535 digital camera makes it easy and fun to capture the memories of your life with its easy-to-use one-button, one-function operation. It features a 3.2-megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom, built-in pop-up flash, 12 MB internal memory and XD Picture Card compatibility, and a movie mode with sound that can capture as much video as your memory card can handle.
Optics and Resolution
The 1/2.7-inch CCD captures 3.2-megapixel images for printed enlargements up to 11 x 17 inches. Image resolutions include: 2048 x 1536 (3 MP), 1600 x 1200 (2 MP), 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 f2.9 to f5.0 aperture range. The camera has a 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom for a total 12x zoom.
Movie Mode
The camera’s QuickTime Movie Mode (at 15 frames per second, or fps) without sound can be used to make mini movies limited only by the amount of available memory (internally or externally). It features the following movie resolutions: 320 x 420 and 160 x 120.
More Features
- 1.5-inch TFT color LCD (approximately 130,000 pixels)
- Super macro mode as close as 2cm
- 4 scene modes: Portrait, Landscape, Indoors, and Night Scene
- Exposure compensation: +/- 2 EV (exposure value) steps in 1/3 EV steps
- Flash modes: auto, red-eye reduction, fill-in, and off
- Self timer of up to 12 seconds
Storage and Transfer
Images are stored either within the 12 MB internal memory or on optional XD memory cards. The XD card’s small size, about the same as a postage stamp, helps to keep the camera size down. The internal 12 MB memory will store approximately 14 images at 2048 x 1536 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-535 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
This camera is powered by 2 AA batteries (alkalines supplied; NiMH rechargeables recommended). It measures 3.4 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 4.9 ounces without battery or media card.

I went to the store to buy the highly rated Nikon 2200, but then saw how good a value this camera was, and ended up by buying both. I later returned the Nikon.
The camera takes very good photos and the quality of LCD is excellent. I compared the photos with those taken by the similarly priced Nikon 2200, and photos from this camera had better color, more detail etc.
But one thing I am not impressed about is the flash. A lot of time, the flash leaves the image too dark. Sometimes though the image is perfect, so I am not sure if it is something I am doing.
The camera is light, but a little difficult to hold on to. Next shot delay is almost non-existent for non-flash photos. For flash photos, the dealy is about 5 seconds mainly due to the flash charging. But compared to the Nikon 2200, flash charging was faster.
The camera starts up quickly, and the zoom works well.The camera is small enough to carry in your pocket.
In all, a very good value for the money.

This camera is extremely easy to use! It has everything most people need to take good pictures–zoom, landscape mode, portrait mode, close up mode, super close up mode, self timer, tripod mount(I had a Sony that didn’t even have a tripod mount). Anyway, so far it has taken great pictures, but if you’re going to buy this camera, be sure to also buy some rechargeable batteries. I just put in the batteries that came with it last night, and they were dead by this morning! Rechargeables will probably save a lot of money. This camera is also the perfect size. It’s small and light. The only thing that it doesn’t have is a viewfinder eyepiece, but that’s no big deal to me because it has the viewfinder screen that is clear and sharp. It also doesn’t record sound in movie mode, but it’s still has everything else and it’s a great camera!

I love the size of this camera. As someone with tiny hands, most camera’s are too large or make my hands cramp up. This one did not.
The flash seems quite good too. I was amazed at my photos. I have a black cat and a dark home and most pictures turn out horribly. Every photo of my cat taken with this, even in the darkest of corners, turned out bright as day with no wash out.
Battery life is good too. Amazon delivered this so fast that my rechargeable batteries hadn’t arrived yet and one pair of alkalines lasted me for 2-3 days of playing around and taking about 50+ experimental pictures.
The only downside being your picture will come out blurry if your hands shake while trying to take a picture.

The weak point of this camera is that it doesn’t have an optical viewfinder (which is why the camera got 3 stars instead of 4 or 5). While we’ve all seen people in bright sun holding their digitals out at arm’s length framing photos in the LCD screen, the best way by far for normal shooting is to use a viewfinder you put up to your eye. It’a more stable, easier to see in bright sun or if you wear reading glasses and don’t have them with you.
Otherwise, it’s a nice pocket size point and shoot camera. As far as not being of “professional” quality, of course it’s not; it’s not priced or intended for that…it’s a pocket camera that is easy to use and takes good photos if you want to point the camera and take the photo with minimal fuss. All cameras of this type have a slight delay while they focus; if you’re used to a film or “focus-free” camera (which means they don’t focus at all), the right way to take a photo is by slightly pressing the shutter, then finishing the press when it focuses; this is normal.
Take a look at the Oly D540, which is a similar camera with a viewfinder…you’ll never regret having the choice of a viewfinder OR LCD screen, instead of being stuck with no choice.

This is a very good camera! It’s my first digital and I’m very happy with it. Clear pictures (even at night), great zoom. I have small hands so I like the size, not too big or small. The LCD screen is a decent size with excellent quality.
Only cons are that it doesn’t take good moving pictures since there is no sports mode. Plus the battery life is poor. You need rechargeables if you’re going to buy this camera!
