Written on September 27, 2002 Summary: Great features, terrible battery life I originally purchased this camera on a vacation and was very excited about its compact design and full features. I was very disappointed when after shooting only 25 pictures the battery meter came on and shortly after the LCD shut off. I was using Nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries as recommended by the salesman. I popped in another set of batteries and had about the same results. This model uses only 2 AA batteries as opposed to 4 in most other models. I ended up returning the camera because of this problem and purchased the Olympus C4000 instead. (it uses 4 AA batteries) I still have photos from both cameras and I am very impressed with both. My only warning is beware of battery life and don't even think about using alkaline batteries (I got only 10 minutes using those) If you don't mind the battery changing then this is the best I've seen in its size.  Written on September 27, 2002 Summary: Outstanding Product I purchased this camera (D40 Zoom) after looking at the canon s100 and s300. We were looking for a small camera that we could take with us all the time. So the small size is what attracted us, but since having the camera, it has led to much more than just quick snapshots. It has a lot of features that allows you to play with light and exposure time which can really create some great photos. I have taken this thing with me everywhere and had some really great shots (surprisingly for an clueless wanna be photographer). On the downside, like every other digital camera, it is a battery HOG! I ended up getting 8 rechargeable NiMH batteries and 2 128 MB smartmedia cards. The lense does not lend itself to adding any filters or additional lenses so that could also be a problem. But finally, the picture quality (there are several different resolutions you can set) at the high level is outstanding. You could easily print an 8 by 10, and really even greater but my printer doesn't get that big. Bottom line...I love it, and the price has dropped 250 bucks since I bought it, but I would buy it at the same price if I had to do it again.  Written on September 26, 2002 Summary: great quality photos, poor battery management The quality of the photos that we've taken with this camera have exceeded our expectations, but it has two problems. The response time is slow and the battery management has been poor. On a number of occations, the camera has indicated a low-battery condition and refused to take a photo even with newly charged batteries. We close the camera, open it, and then it shows a fully charged battery - but we have missed the photo op. Written on September 19, 2002 Summary: Great photo quality -- VERY slow response time While the photo quality is amazing on this camera, there is one maddening thing about its operations that makes me second-guess purchasing it. There is about a one to two second delay between the time you press the button to take the photo, and the moment the photo is actually captured. I took the camera on vacation, and when other people offered to take my family's photo...I had to explain to them NOT to move the camera for a couple seconds after pressing the button, so that we all didn't come out in a blur. I am amazed that this has not been pointed out in camera reviews. I wish I had known this because it is a major flaw. This camera is terrible at action shots on automatic. I haven't tried it on advanced settings yet. I will have to explore that more. Also, it takes a long time for the camera to "warm up" once you open the cover and prepare to take a photo. Very little spontaneity is possible with this camera if you intend to put it away and take it out only during photo opportunities. The best use for this camera is for still shots and people portraits. It's not a "get-up-and-go" camera with fast response time and responsiveness. I am hoping that my inquiries into Olympus will clear this up as a simple programming issue so that I can speed up the camera's performance. But as of now, I feel the camera isn't as versatile as I would like. Written on September 13, 2002 Summary: D40 Zoom is Great! Bought the D40 Zoom....absoluuutely love it! It is almost impossible to take a bad picture....from macros to landscape...the colors are vivid and images sharp. Every time I take a picture, I cannot go without saying aloud, "I love this camera!" Totally awesome! |
