Summary: Olympus
Review: My Olympus 460 Zoom is a great little camera that features both ease of use for occasional snapshots and advanced capabilities for the more serious photographer. It is my second digital camera, my first was a Fuji MX-1200, a really great little camera also. The Olympus is not quite as easy to use as the Fuji but after my recent trip to China, I wanted something a little more capable than the Fuji. Since I consider myself an "advanced amateur", I have been giving all the "bells and whistles" a workout since I got it.I am particularly pleased with ability to spot meter for back lit situations, shoot "burst mode", the zoom, and the ability to select the "ISO" (film speed). The exposures I get with the Olympus are also more accurate than the Fuji. The Fuji tended to underexpose in all but bright sunlight, forcing me to do a lot of image adjusting in Photoshop. The Olympus is generally "right on". I also really like the software bundled with the Olympus. I purchased a USB Smartmedia reader for the Fuji because I couldn't get the Fuji software to install under Windows 2000. The Olympus software installed fine under Win2K and works really well. It may even cut down the time I spend with Photoshop. I really, really like the quality of the resulting images. Olympus makes fine lenses and It's SHQ (Super High Quality) mode lets you take either uncompressed TIFF images as well as "low compression" JPEG's. I have printed images suitable for framing on an HP2000 Cse and a Tektronix Phaser 850 up to 8 x 10. They compare very favorably with images taken with my 35MM SLR and scanned on my Epson Perfection. Finally, the highest praise I can give this camera is that I am giving serious consideration to leaving my assortment of cameras, lenses, motor drives, filters etc. home on my next trip. Hope this helps.

Summary: Wow, better then my cheapo Polaroid digital cam!
Review: This has all of the bells and wistles that I think that even an intermediate digital camera enthusiast would want. The only thing that I found slightly annoying was shutting the camera down by closing the camera cover. You have to close it slightly and pause while the lens retracts and everything powers down, then close it the rest of the way. Otherwise I don't think I have found one thing that I don't like about it. It took awhile to familiarize myself with all of the features but most everything works fine on automatic. And you always have the ability to manually set everything about the camera - ISO, brightness, resolution, etc. I've done some panoramas with this, as well as dark and inside photos (the latter two things my previous digital camera had no luck with). I've also amazingly been able to take pictures of magazines articles and been able to easily read the text in the resulting pictures. Don't ned my scanner anymore! ;) The burst mode is a nice feature, though not strictly neccessary. Macro works great and the digital zoom combined with the optical zoom is a great feature. Can't live without it. There are more features then I can list here, and will probably keep me experimenting with them for quite some time.

Summary: My first digital camera
Review: Read all the reviews about the D-460 when I received it as a present just recently. I was very happy with the camera overall except a few vital areas such as one reviewer had mentioned - battery load instructions in the manuel did not match up with the batteries that were included (cv-3), which only went in one way opposite of the manuel and was hoping for a USB port for easier download. It took excellent photos and was fairly easy to download with a little maneuvering into a port. I had taken alot of pictures over the weekend and laid the camera on my desk and now all of a sudden, NO POWER!?????? Got advice?

Summary: Fantastic Buy
Review: This camera is fantastic! The images come out sharp and clear, it's packed with features such as 3 modes of picture sorting where you see 9 images 6 or 3, 3 zoom levels, very easy to use, auto lense cover. I can't say enough good things about it.

Summary: What a great little camera
Review: This is my first digital camera, and I was truly astounded the first time I downloaded a picture and made it my Windows background on a 17" monitor. The detail and color is tremendous! The camera is so easy to use; the only wish I have is that it wasn't so easy to forget the flash. I frequently waste a picture because I forget to flip up the flash. The macro feature is great, too. I feel that the D460Z is a GREAT value!

Summary: Olympus 460 is a good digital camera
Review: This is my first digital camera. I am quite happy with it. I did get good technical support from Olympus. It would be perfect if the camera has USB port connection for its images download.

Summary: Great camera
Review: I received this little camera for Christmas. It's my first digital camera. I was impressed by it's size and features. It takes great pictures. The only down side is the serial connection to the PC. I spent 3 days trying to connect this to my PC unsuccessfully. The Olympus support wasn't very helpful. They blamed the problem on my serial port. I fooled with that for 3 days then finally I gave up and went out and bought the San Disk Image Mate smart media reader with USB. It worked right out of the box and is very fast. The camera is great, now that I got the pictures into my PC. I took some night pictures outside without playing with any of the advanced settings and they came out pretty good. Nice camera for the price.

Summary: Great camera for the price!
Review: After spending several days researching digital cameras in this price range, I settled upon the Olympus D-460Z. I am thrilled with my decision! This camera is simple to use, right out of the box, and takes wonderful pictures! I use the pictures primarily in an online magazine, but they also print out nicely! It has sufficient features for our business and personal needs and I highly recommend it to anyone considering a moderatly priced digital camera.

Summary: Great Camera!
Review: After several months of debating whether or not to buy a digital camera, I researched various models and bought the Olympus D460. The zoom capability is great and the pictures are really sharp. I was really concerned about battery life because I had heard that batteries get drained really quickly with digital cameras. I've taken over 100 pictures using Rayovac rechargeable batteries and the battery meter is still on full. I only use the LCD screen to display pictures I've taken. I use the viewfinder when taking pictures. The only negatives are that you have to manually lift the flash when taking flash pictures and that the camera does not use USB. I was debating whether to buy an external USB reader when buying the camera, but the serial interface is sufficient for me for the time being. Overall, I've been thrilled with the camera.
