Manufacturer's product description

Great photos are assured with the IR-500 digital camera. It boasts four million pixels, a 2.8x optical zoom and offers a choice of 17 scene programs. Its large, 6.4 cm, 360° swivel sunshine LCD monitor provides a clear view even under strong light. Thanks to the docking station that also functions as a camera stand, you may entertain friends and family with the results. With several special effects such as fade and mosaic, your slideshows can be personalized. The calendar function facilitates the search for specific images and an integrated clock not only keeps track of time but also doubles as an alarm. Operation is aided by a multilingual menu (more languages can be downloaded from Olympus' website). This product comes with the P-S100 printer. The IR-500 camera and docking station are simply connected to the P-S100 printer and images return true-to-life prints due to utilization of dye-sublimation technology. Other digital cameras can be connected via PictBridge.

Review of Olympus IR-500 by digitalenvironmentalist taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages An excellent handy camera for people who loved to take photos during their travels
Disadvantages Need extra memory cards and batteries

...a big memory space in your XD card), you take for granted the basic steps in taking photographs. But my personal perception did change for having one - IR-500 Olympus which I bought from Currys worth 129 pounds. It was an excellent buy! The camera is also able to directly connect to any PictBridge-enabled printer so prints can be made quickly and conveniently with no computer necessary. xD-Picture CardTM compatible (16MB card included). USB Auto-Connect means simple connectivity with virtually any solution/computer with a USB port without the need for any software installation , and with a Li-Ion rechargeable battery. Since the free XD card is not sufficient, I decided to buy another one with 512MB capacity, including an extra battery. The battery is sufficient enough for 150-200 photos but not really good for long day travelling... Read review
