Executive Summary
This
Olympus Camedia D-535 Zoom Review is based on
a production model. All sample images are unretouched,
except where specified.
Reflections
5.8mm, Auto, Center-Weighted Average, 1/316.6
sec., F2.9 and ISO 64
The Olympus Camedia D-535 Zoom is an
entry-level point-and-shoot digital camera targeted
to first-time users. For less than US$150, you
get a 3.2 megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom
digital camera that is both easy to use and gives
good results.
The D-535 is basically a sunny outdoors camera
or you can use it indoors if there is sufficient
light. It does not have AF-Assist, so it's extremely
difficult to focus in low-light situations. It
has ISO equivalent of 64-250 which the camera
automatically selects.
There is no viewfinder but the 1.5 in. LCD monitor
is very bright and clear (130,000 pixels). Super
Macro mode allows focusing to objects as close
as 2 cm (0.8 in.). Metering is fixed at Center-Weighted
Average which works quite well. Movie is at 320x240
15 fps, no sound. Besides P-Auto mode, there are
also 4 Scene Modes, and exposure compensation
is available.
The Olympus D-535 is compact and handles well.
