CNET has reviewed the 4 megapixel Olympus IR-500, awarding the digital camera a "Good" 6.6 out of 10 rating. The reviewers called the playback capabilities "excellent," and found a lot of scene modes. They also liked the "large, versatile, high-resolution LCD."
There was also a bit to dislike in the IR-500, including the lack of a tripod socket, few manual controls, and a limited zoom range. The bottom line is that it makes a better display than camera.
