Summary: the love affair continues
Review: I got this camera used as a gift from my stepfather, and it has been a love affair ever since. Having never used another digital camera I assumed that most cameras were just as fun. I have since realized that this thing is a gem. It is now 2004 and it is discontinued and seems to be going up in market value. The thing that I love the most about the camera after using other cameras is that it will take the picture when you press the button!!!!That is sooo important...the child turns to look at the camera and you have the picture! The other thing I love about it is that I can take night pictures with it. The camera doesn't question my judgement...it will let me shoot in pitch black and then I can take it back to the computer and pull the image out digitally.... They are selling much fancier cameras now...but I want another one of these..(even though mine is working fine)

Summary: We wiil see . . .
Review: I have a new ****osonic digital camera, higher end xxx2590. Had it for about 10 days, 14 day return policy. A lot of neat features including a modem card to send pics to computer or fax. (Really neat). The pics I took were inside requiring flash. Pics were printed directaly to an HP1000 PhotoSmart on photo paper. NOT HAPPY WITH SHARPNESS & BRIGHTNESS of photos. The Olympus D450 was recommended and after reading all these reviews, I am switching to the 450. I will be back to comment on the difference in about 10 -12 days. Hope it's as good as you all say it is. Posted 3 stars for now...! Hoping there will be 5 Stars. PCBob

Summary: my first digital camera
Review: I have been shoping for a digital camera and this one seemed to be the best one for the money.You will not find one any cheeper in stores, that is near me.I like to point out some fetures that the beginner user that I am,figured out.The zoom is quick to respond,you can take 122 pictures but the clearity of the print isn't great,you have to select 36 pics.It takes 4 AA batterys,and eats them up in no time.I recomend buying the recharable pack,also get the a\c adapter,it takes some time to download pictures to the pc.The software that came with the camara really supports the process,it's great!you can put your pictures on greeting cards,calenders,ect.I love the camara,still leaning how to use it,you will have to spend 2-3 hundred more to get something better

Summary: D-450Z a great camera
Review: I have enjoyed the versatility of the D-450Z, a first venture into digital cameras - a lot more fun and fast than freeze frames from 8mm. My only challenge was downloading the pics. Oh man that serial port is slow through the two software titles Olympus ships with the camera, but I made a discovery. Click on your camera in the file tree of Windows Explorer. The preview of your pictures comes up fast. Copy to the folder you wish, name the files, and then use the Camedia software to edit the pictures. Very cool. A must buy!

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: The Beauty of Olympus Cameras
Review: I have owned 12 Olympus cameras; all 35mm, and presently own two. In my mind, it is as fine a camera as money can buy. When I can afford a digital camera to use in my real estate office, it will be an Olympus, and preferably the D-450 Zoom. Realtor - Since 1945 (54 Years)
