Summary: No USB compatability with WIN NT, but a great camera
Review: The only complaint I have is not with the camera itself, but that I cant upload images onto my Windows NT Pentium III computer because Windows NT doesn't support USB connections. Argh. Other than that, once you are up and running with the techniques of use, this camera is ideal. Mega image storage. Clear, beautiful pictures.

Summary: This Product is Truly Everything They Claim and More!
Review: The Panasonic PV-SD4090 is the second digitan camera I have owned. I was somewhat hesitant to purchase it because it is pricier than most on the market today coupled with the fact that my first camera was a $800.00 piece of junk.

It isn't even necessary to read the instructions before you start. The camera uses a Super disk capable of haoding 1500 pictures - unbelieveable. The pictures can be imported to any program very easily and the quality of what you get with sizes up to 8x10 is surpurb.

Motion an sound is also available with each picture you capture. E mailing to friends if easy and fun.

Few major purchases I have ever made have been considered as money well spent. This one was. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Super Digital Camera with Super Features.
Review: The Simon Said review is a "Real Bummer"! I doubt Simon has ever held this camera. I found it very easy to use. It is of very good quality and has so many features. The sound byte feature is great for pictures for the internet. The battery is very impressive since it lasts about 3 to 4 hours and charges in about an hour. It can even be used as a usb zip drive to save data from the computer. I can't find any fault with this digital camera. It would be nice if the zoom feature was stronger but it does everything I need.

Summary: All AROUND FUN
Review: This is my first digital camera, and I love it. The first time I picked it up, I knew it was a winner. Mass storage, easy to use, and it doubles as an external superstor disk drive. I love the burst mode for shooting sports action. The 10 sec video mode works great also. The menus are easy to acces and use, and the style of the camera makes it easy to hold and control. The ability to connect right to my tv and view my photos, makes for a fun time and instant enjoyment. Before I knew it I had taken over 180 photos, and never even came close to filling up the provided disk. The quality is great,and the LCD makes for great viewing. The only down side is the 3x zoom, not quit enough zoom, but it does work well. Other than that -- I love it.

Summary: One Great Camera
Review: This is the greatest camera since pop corn! I love it. With it's multi settings, I have found it great for taking pictures while riding as a passenger in a car at speed of 50 MPH set on Burst Rec Mode up to 16 pictures in sequence all in focus 1 Picture every 0.5 sec. This setting is also good when you want to eliminate the flash. Zoom Mode is great as a quick copying for old pictures and much faster than a scanner and who carries a scanner with them? With all settings except for Burst Rec Mode you can record (SOUND CLIPS). Remember it uses up disk space. When visiting family and friends, this camera has a copy feature. So take extra disks. Take your pictures on the floppy, use copy mode and then you can save it on the super disk. Don't delete a part of a set of pictures as it will create a disk error if you do. Do your deleting after you down load to your computer.

The soft ware that comes with the camera can enhance the quality of your pictures when there is poor lighting or you want to crop to enhance the picture.

Finally, the built in lens cover feature alone would be my choice over the Sony without this feature.

Summary: Simple, Rechargeable, Massive storage, good pictures!
Review: This was my first digital camera. However, I have bee using the Mavica that belongs to a friend for some time. After seeing its debut, the Palmcam as Panasonic calls it...I knew I wanted one. Once you connect it via its USB port, Windows sees it as another disk drive. From there its easy to copy to the hard disk for speedy printing or processing with the included photodeluxe from Adobe - or you can leave the photos on the superdisk to do with as you please - 1500 photos at normal resolution, 800 at medium and 400 at high resolution is a lot of space - you don't have to carry ten floppies with you anymore! Batteries? One recargeable battery pack is all you need, it recharges in less than two hours - unless you plan to take photos nonstop for more than an hour - then get a spare if you can't use the direct DC adapter which gives you unlimited power. It may be slow in terms of waiting for the photos to write to the disk, but that's what the burst mode is there for if you need it. Mpeg movies are limited to ten seconds though, I would have liked to see more time available in this mode. Otherwise I have had no complaints.

Summary: Great!!
Review: This was my fist digital camera and I love it. It takes great pictures, although it could have a little better zoom. This is also my first camera with a zoom so only having a 5x zoom (3x optical and 2x digital) doesn't bother me that much. Only thing about this camera that I have found that I don't like is the LCD screen, the camera has a very good flash, I have taken pictures in the dark and they turn out perfect. But you can't see what you are taking a picture of through the LCD screen. All in all I like this camera a lot, and I would recommend buying it.

Summary: Just one word "Superb!"
Review: What a beauty! Amazing storage options, both normal 1.44 floppy and 120MB super drive, makes this camera stand out of the rest. A 120MB super drive for storage stores approx 1,500 images, I cannot confirm this because I just dont seem to be able to get one single super drive floppy filled. Its data storag is enormous. Great for people who love taking lots of pics on the fly and later deciding what to keep and what not to. The 10sec video recording option is also pretty good. I fell that using the super drive I should be allowed to take the videos for longer, but the 10secs restriction applies here too. The only down side I have fealt so far is the 3X Optical Zoom/2X Digital Zoom, which may be enough but is much lesser in comparision with some of the other cameras in competition. All in all, a good buy for money, wonderful for the more frequent users.
