Product Description
The SP-500 is a hybrid digital-camera. It's shaped closer to an SLR than a compact model. The optical zoom, however, is 10x - compared to 3x on a compact model. When compared to a 35mm, the SP-500 has a focal length of 38mm to 380mm. That's wide-angle to large telephoto, yet the lens remains extraordinarily compact. It's designed for easy use but has manual capabilities to let you exercise your creative potential. Overall...a very fine camera.

Customer Reviews:
I loved this Camera.......2007-07-25
This was a very smart purchase for me. I loved the camera from day one..until...my neice dropped it and it broke...It was very easy to use and very user-friendly..I did however, purchase another camera, but purchased a SLR this time...but nonetheless, for anyone who is not ready to take that leap to the SLR, i would definitely recommend the Olympus, by the way, that was my second Olympus...
Very disappointed.......2007-06-23
I bought this camera based on reviews on this site. I was buying it to replace a Cannon Powershot camera that my youngest daughter had dropped and broken.
I have to say that I am extremely disappointed with this camera. It is hard to get a clear picture without the flash on and who wants to use flash outside? It is also slow, eats through batteries and is not user-friendly.
I don't know what camera I'm getting next, but after owning this one for only 6 months I DO know that I'm going to put it on an auction site and use the money to put towards a new one!
More Versatile than at First Glance.......2007-05-03
It has taken me most of a year to really delve into all of the settings and little tweaks at the SP-500UZ user's fingertips. Most of the automatic settings are great in most situations, so long as you pay attention to what you are doing, but the avid photographer will be pleased with the depth and breadth of the manual settings and the brilliant photos it takes. This camera is a real trooper that I have taken with me to the tops of mountains, and it has helped me get the best pictures I have ever taken. My only real complaint is that it is difficult to use the manual focus accurately.
Very good step up camera.......2007-02-23
This is my third Olympus Digital Camera. I became a fan in 2000 when I bought my C-3000. I still use that one quite a bit. My second Olympus was the D-590 - I bought it because I wanted a compact camera to throw in my purse. For the money the SP-500 can't be beat. I got mine for $139. I haven't had any problems with blurry images or indoor lighting. My only issue is the battery compartment cover - it is hard to close and I'm concerned it may snap off. The lack of image stabilization hasn't been an issue. When you hold the shutter button half way down the camera locks the focus - I've never had an out of focus picture at any zoom level using this method. I'm very pleased with this camera's performance.
Rather good. Not perfect........2007-02-20
I had to get a digital camera for my wife (her first). I thought a 6mp camera would be as good as she would ever need. The thing that really sold me was the 10X zoom and the small size.
First impressions when I got it:
(1) Looks sharp, except for the fact that it is three inches thick to accommodate the zoom and the four batteries. Was happy that it wasn't too heavy though.
(2) How do I close the battery case without breaking it when I first put in the batteries? Long story short, there was nothing wrong, but it was more trouble than I expected.
(3) Camera doesn't work! Loud cracking sound when zoom initially moves around during startup. What? "Zoom error" The camera turned off. Turned on again. Same drill. The camera was the only present I got my wife that cost real money. Of course, she was upset. She upset: me upset. Because of Christmas rush I don't send it back immediately.
(4) 2 months later, I send my camera with my amazon receipt, the warranty, and the Olympus service form (get it on the web or request it from their website) to the Olympus service center via UPS.
(5) Received camera back in ONLY 1 and a half weeks. How did they do that? Olympus stock rising...
(6) Turn camera back on after fumbling with batteries again. Same annoyance.
(7) Camera works! O happy day!
(8) Overall happiness with camera after using it for a couple days: Very satisfied. Not a point and click camera. You must depress shutter halfway and wait for a green light to come on to communicate that focusing is ready. Large LCD screen is awesome (2.5"). Zoom awesome. Picture quality is good. Very satisfied. Good for young adult looking to take pictures of "stuff." Probably not for aspiring professionals.
Would I do it all over again? I don't know. But assuming you don't get a broken camera, I think its a good camera and does what it advertises.
Product Description
Perhaps best of all, Sanyo DSS phones have among the longest operating ranges of any cordless phone on the market today. In open- field testing, Sanyo direct sequence digital spread spectrum models have sent and received calls with outstanding clarity while being situated more than a mile from their base stations. That's a range of over seventeen football fields laid end to end. Available now, Sanyo DSS model CLT-918 features a headset jack to allow home or office users the convenience of hands-free operation via a separately purchased headset. It also includes Sanyo's innovative AC power failure protection system that provides up to twelve hours of standby operation and as much as four hours of continuous talk time during a power outage (using four optional "AA" alkaline batteries). The DSS phone also comes with a detachable belt clip for easy toting. Additional features found on the CLT-918 include Sanyo's Monitron 900 circuitry that automatically adjusts power usage to extend battery life and virtually eliminate noise and interference, and full-time auto channel scan.
Amazon.com Product Description
Sanyo's CLT-918 with DSS transmission offers the longest operating range and nearly impenetrable communications privacy when compared to other cordless telephone technologies. Monitron 900 circuitry enhances performance, and full-time autoscanning continuously finds the best channel. The battery pack lasts up to seven days on standby, and one-way paging means you'll never be out of touch with the handset. Additional features include a headset jack for an optional headset and a detachable belt clip, providing hands-free convenience. Three AA alkaline batteries (not included) operate the phone during AC power failures.

Solid card with quirky install..........2000-11-16
SMC's low-end EZConnect 10 (1208) is a Combo card with an RJ-45, ThinNet, and ThickNet connectors. The chipset is made by RealTek, which speaks for this SMC's low price. PnP Installation into Windows reads as a RealTek, yet SMC instructions say to add specific SMC driver on top of existing Realtek(?)drivers. Subsequent install is painless and configuration is set default to "Autosense" for simple Point-and-Shoot networking.
SMC gives you a free 6 ft. CAT5 Cable and a TurboLinux CD-ROM with each EZConnect 10. Lifetime garantee. Not a bad deal for the asking price. Good performer for small home networks.

Customer Reviews:
It's no IPOD but it will do.......2007-07-30
I have a couple of IPODs, the mini, and the video and I also have the Rio Cali. It doesn't have a lot of features, in fact it's pretty basic. It plays MP3 well, it's light, has pretty good battery life, and I love the work out timer.
When I go to the gym I grab this and not my mini. For one because of the price I'm so concern about it being stolen, or damaged, or with my absent mindless lost. It does what it suppose to do and does it well. If you are looking for something small that just plays music and you don't want to spend a lot, this is a great little MP3 player.
I know that others have said they have had problems with it but I have dropped it a dozen times, sweated on it etc and it's been over a year with no problems.
Easy to Use.......2007-01-25
This player was easy to load songs onto and easy to use. The belt clip is super handy for running. It is also easy to use while running. You don't have to see the screen (like an ipod) to control it - you can go by feel of the buttons. I have dropped it several times and still had no problems with it - GREAT PRODUCT!
What a machine!!!!.......2007-01-14
I don't know why everyone is whining about this terrific little MP3 player. I love mine. The only drawback is that you can't put 30 gigs of music on it. However, as cheap as the SD cards are, you can change them out.
I have washed my Cali in the washing machine not once, but twice, and it still plays!!!! Not to mention the numerous times I accidentally took it into the pool or lake with me. I just let it dry out a couple of days, and it played fine.
I gave mine to my daughter with the intention of buying another for myself, and was devastated to learn that I couldn't find a replacement. That's how I ended up at this site. I ended up buying an ipod, and like it okay, but just love the simplicity of the Rio. I am buying one from this site for my husband, who knows absolutely nothing about computers, electronics, or mp3s. It will be perfect for him.
Poor sound, even worse earbuds.......2006-11-12
Strapped for cash, I've been forced to stick with this player for a couple years. The player has indeed taken lots of knocking around, but I have two complaints:
1) There is background hum behind all my music. You can really hear it between songs and during quieter passages. Because of this, I couldn't use it to listen to electronic books because the hum was so darn loud and annoying. An email to Rio tech support asking about this was ignored, which really cheesed me off. Their support is awful.
2) The wires to the earbuds broke during the second use. I've had duct tape on them for the last two years, but they permanently gave out the other day (something broke in the connector where even tape could not help).
Used this 3 years - still working GREAT .......2006-07-14
This is a great little player for anyone that wants music and knows little to nothing about MP3s.
- Has an easy-to-use software program that walks you through loading the music or audible books
- Can upgrade storage space by inserting SD flash memory
- No real bells and whistles like a more expensive MP3 player, but you can listen to FM radio, which is great if you go the the gym and want to tune into TV.
I've had this for over 3 years and it has been banged around at the gym and while running. The only things I've replaced are the batteries and earbuds. My son's iPod has been in the shop twice in less time.
Might not be the most stylish, but a great, little, affordable player all the same.
