Olympus D-540 Details

Editors' Comments

The compact, 3-megapixel Olympus D-540 is a good choice for beginner photographers looking for simplicity and style. With a very similar design to the 4-megapixel Olympus D-580, the D-540 offers fully automated controls, a 3x optical zoom, and seven preset scene modes. Thanks to its "Auto Connect USB" capability, the D-540 can be connected to almost any computer for instant image downloads—no software required.
