Olympus Reviews

This adapter was listed as working with the Olympus D-560 (part of the D series). We got it and found out it wouldn't work at all - the plug wasn't even the right size. I guess we are lucky the plug didn't fit as our camera probably would have been destroyed like the others writing reviews who bought this believing the ad copy was correct. Now we lose the cost of shipping to us and back again. I am not a happy camper! This will NOT work with the current popular D Series cameras - D520, D540, D560 etc.

I ordered this and picked up at my local Circuit City store. As I left the store I looked at the item and noticed my model wasn't listed. I went back into the store and spoke w/ the salesperson. She looked at my paperwork from Amazon and at the model number on the item and told me that it was the correct item and sometimes not all the newer models are listed on the labels. So, I took the item and hooked up my $350 Olympus D-520 Zoom camera. It fried my camera! I wish I would have seen the other reviews first! I'm now waiting to see if Amazon and/or Circuit City will do the right thing! DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM IF YOU PLAN TO USE IT WITH AN OLYMPUS D-520 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA!!!

I have had this adapter for over a year now and it works great. Its super to be able to plug into the wall and not worry about batteries when viewing my photos on a TV or taking photos inside or outside when not having to move around too much.
The prongs for the power also fold into the adapter so it fits easily into my camaera bag and the cable is long enough to be usefull but not too long to get in the way.

I waited too long to buy this and went through VC-3V batteries quickly. With a quick hook-up, I can download, playback or just fool around without power worries. No need to buy more batteries or a recharger either. It is worth the price as batteries can run as high as $[money]! This adapter also works on my portable CD-player. Nice gift as well.
