Key Advantages

The Olympus D-560 Zoom features a high-quality 3x optical zoom lens, offering flexibility in various shooting conditions. Its 1-megapixel sensor provides clear and sharp images for early digital photography needs. The camera includes manual exposure controls such as shutter and aperture priority modes, giving users creative control. The SmartMedia card support allows for easy storage expansion and data transfer. Its compact design makes it portable and convenient for everyday use. Additionally, the user-friendly interface and 2-inch LCD enhance usability and image review processes.

Limitations

The image resolution of 1 megapixel is quite low by modern standards, limiting print sizes and detail. The ISO sensitivity range is limited, affecting performance in low-light conditions. The camera does not feature advanced autofocus systems, which can lead to slower focus acquisition. Battery life is modest due to the technology of the era, requiring frequent replacements or recharging. The SmartMedia cards have limited capacity compared to modern storage, restricting the number of photos per card. No video recording capability is present, restricting the device to still photography only.
