Summary: Good Quality Pics but Not as cool as it should be
Review: Great quality images. An automatic flash (you have to manually flip the flash up) would have been nice. Once I figured out how to use the flash I parked the SLR.Camera has a great "slide show" capability with simple to use the video output to VCR or TV but... you can't upload images to the camera from the computer. If you could you'd be able to create a slide show from several different sessions with the included 8MB card. Maybe I have to get that floppy adaper for my Smart Media after all??

Summary: Good product, but could be better
Review: After doing some research out there, my girlfriend bought this digital camera. The performance is very good, but there are still somethings I feel quite annoying. First, we just could not ignore the noise when the len zoom in/out. Second, after taking a picture, you can just review if for about a second or two, if you want to review it again, you have to turn off the camera, and turn on the LCD display again.. very unconvenient. Third, we have to lift the flash light to make it work. well, it is not totally automatic. And last, there's no USB interface to connect to PC, and the com port interface is too slow.. nobody can tolerate this I believe. You have to buy an extra reader. In summery, it's a good product with excellent performance, on the other hand, based on my personal experience, my advice is, go to the market, try and feel it yourself, and think twice.

Summary: Warning to Windows ME users
Review: I have not used this camera, rather the D360L. However, when I upgraded to Windows ME (to take advantage of "My Pictures" and the built-in digital camera stuff), my camera wouldn't work. It wasn't in the driver list, so I contacted Olympus. This was my response (read - "doesn't work - we're not doing anything abount it") "The newer Olympus digital camera models -- D360L, D400Z, D450Z, D460Z, D490Z, C2000Z, C2020Z, C211Z, C2500L, C3000Z, C3030Z, and the C21 -- are not designed to use twain drivers, plug-ins, or the mini-apps to communicate with the computer. The Olympus Camedia utility software communicates with these camera models to download (copy) your picture files into a folder on your computer harddrive where they can be accessed by any software program that can use jpeg or tiff formatted graphic files. Only the following Olympus digital cameras are twain compliant: D200L, D220L, D300L, D320L, D340L, D340R, D500L, D600L, and D620L. Only the D200L and the D300L can not communicate using Camedia. "

Summary: Look no further......This is the camera
Review: I've had this camera now for about four months, and let me tell you it is the best digital camera that I've owned. The picture quality is outstanding, even in low resolution mode..It's easy to use and the 8MB card is plenty for your photo needs. I still have the two original lithium bateries that came with the camera and they are still going strong. Get yourself an AC adaptor so you can save your bats while downloading your images.

Summary: Little confused
Review: This camera requires two battery packs that come packaged with the unit. Each pack consists of two batteries sealed together in a plastic casing. Both casings fit in the camera in only one direction. At first glance it appears the polarity marks printed on the battery casings are incorrect and do not match polarity instructions inside the camera. Solution: Print all four polarities (rather than two) on each battery pack to eliminate the confusion. Also, the battery compartment door requires TLC to close which concerns me because it's plastic. Initial comments with regard to camera options and photo quality are very favorable......and still learning.

Summary: Great Cammera but a battery eater!
Review: Well first of all I should say that this camera is perfect for the principiant or "tourist" photographer, that the only thing he want's to do is to capture the moment without controlling it all. The cammera does it all, but when you want to control the exposure or the WB or even the sensitivity you'll have some problems. You can't DO a White Balance, instead you have some Pre asigned items to choose, and you just have 3 different sensitivities to choose. The other problem is that you can't control the focus or the diaphragm or the shutter speed. My mother bought this camera in the US 1 year ago and I've been taking pictures of everything I see in the street. It haves a good image quality (maybe you'll see the lights a lil bit strange when checking your pictures) and even you can shot 166 pics with the worst quality (in an 8 mb card). I discovered that when you connect it to the Videorecorder you can record what you are seeing. So if you have the old "porta pack" equipment you can use it even as a CAMCODER! (forget about the sound). The worst part of the camera is the battery consumption. I got tired of wasting lots of $ buying more and more batteries. It needs 4 AA batteries and if you use the LCD they'll last 15 minutter or something. Maybe you woun't take this to serious when you buy an item....

Summary: Superior Camera for the price
Review: The D460Zoom is my second Olympus Digital Camera. My first was the D360, which was a great camera until a child put the batteries in wrong and burned it up! I cannot say enough good things about the D460Zoom...It writes the files quickly allowing follow-up shots in 2-3 seconds. It has easily understood controls, and takes better quality photos than most digital cameras I have seen -- including my brother's large and bulky Sony. The autofocus and zoom both work without hitch and allow a considerable amount of leaway in composing your shots. One of the things I find especially exciting is its ability to adopt to difficult lighting situations. You can take pictures in very difficult bright and dark shadow conditions and get excellently exposed results. I am comfortable taking pictures in any lighting situation, indoors or out. While there is some media that hold more pictures than the smart media cards, the smart media cards are very small and easy to use. I bought a card reader [and] it is as easy to down load pics as to read a disk--faster even. For the money, this camera is as good or better than many costing twice as much.

Summary: Great Camera
Review: The Olympus D-460 Zoom is a great digital camera! The picture capacity is super high when set on the SQ setting (about 114 picture capacity). Quality remains superb. To me, its very user friendly. Easy to view and delete photos and easy to zoom (optical and digital). The only thing I dont like is that optional items are so expensive. I found out that you can take the "film disk" to a local Wal-Mart and get the disk developed. They have the $100 adapter for the Smart Media disk. The Camedia software that comes with it, is also user friendly. Great first digital camera!

Summary: Everything I could ask for.
Review: I wanted a camera that was easy-to-use and portable with great picture quality. I got everything in this camera. I have a regular Olympus camera and am quite satisfied with that one. So I decided to give this one a try. In my yorkie discussion group we all swap pics of our dogs. And I must say the Olympus takes the best photos. Go to the new ofoto site on Amazon. I was going to buy a photo quality printer, but why? Ofoto lets you display photos so your friends and family can buy them too. Back to the camera...I love it, buy it!

Summary: I Love my Camera!
Review: I was debating whether to buy Olympus or to go for the 2 Megapixel Kodak DC 280. After reading loads of reviews and asking several people I decided to go for Olumpus D460 Zoom. And let me tell you the camera takes amazing pictures! I hardly need to access the menu and change the settings. The pictures are superb ... the detail is amazing. I shoot at the highest SHQ setting and the results are great! .... I had thought I'll find the lens cover an inconvenience as a lot of people said they were having problens closing the camera ... but it works ok for me. I also bought a Viking USB reader and extremely glad I did...makes it very, very conveneient to download the photos to your PC. ...
