Summary: Best camera I ever had, great value for the price!!
Review: Many great options, clear, crisp pix's!!!!! Like the incased zoom. Also the option for different quality pix's I can take. I have rechargable batteries (two sets to interchange) and they last fairly long.

Summary: Great Camera to ENCOURAGE you to take pictures
Review: My wife and I have always been a bit lazy about taking pictures until we bought this camera. Now it is easy to take the pics, view the pics on the LCD, and amazingly easy to download them onto our home computer to send to our families. This camera is a winner as it makes you take more pictures because it is fun and best of all you end up saving money because it is digital and therefore nothing needs to be developed.

Summary: The best camera in its class
Review: Olympus quality lens. Excellent flash photos. Excellent sunlight photos. Fair low light photos. If there's a way to get an extended warranty on this camera, get it. The cover will not hold up if you use this camera heavily. (I take 400-500 pictures a day with it, and open the lens cover 20-30 times a day) I use the camera commercially, and it was the best choice after weeks of research. The LCD display is very expensive to repair, so if you don't have an extended warranty, be careful with the display. With a tripod and the supplied cables, you can set up some creative photo ideas. Use your imagination and you will become an Olympus fan.

Summary: Beware of the Bloodhound Virus!
Review: The Olympus D-400 is an excellent Digi-cam for the money. But beware of the Bloodhound Virus which came with the included FlashPath Floppy Adapter. Luckily, Norton's Anti-Virus took care of it. All in all, the package is a good deal,but just run a scan on the FlashPath before you load anything with it.

Summary: Great Camera
Review: This camera is relatively easy to learn and it has many features that make it attractive, such as the flash memory unit, on-camera erase, on-camera view, and other features that make this an excellent purchase. I have printed some of the photos that I have taken from my home computer and the people who received them thought they were better than any they had gotten from a professional in the past and I'm not that good.

Summary: Love this camera!
Review: This is a terrific camera, and not having to buy film lets you take pictures where you wouldn't have before (like whiteboard sessions at work). I would recommend getting the Olympus NiMH batteries which last a very long time. They're expensive, but remove the battery hassle. Also a 16mb Smartcard is a good investment. Lastly, a good tripod, since you will be tempted to take low light pictures and it is hard to do without blurring. Have fun!

Summary: Great camera with one quirk
Review: This is a very compact camera with a high quality zoom lens and all the features you could want. It is no more battery hungry than other digicams. Its image quality is the best I have seen for its 1280x960 resolution with one caveat - many shots taken in "auto" (the default) or "sunlight" white balance mode have a bluish cast, presumably put there by overcompensating white balance circuitry. This cast unfortunatley mutes reds, greens and yellows. However, I have found that if you take all pictures in "cloudy" white balance mode, the cast is removed and the camera produces excellent color. Before you buy any digital camera, I recommend that you visit one or more of the digicam review sites on the web in order to examine sample images from the camera and read the reviews and especially the user comments.

Summary: Super, fun camera
Review: This is a wonderful camera, it does more than I can totally learn in one setting. The instruction manual is easy to read and follow. My first pics were a snap and I'm sure will only get better. My only criticism is that it doesn't come with the requisite software to use the floppydisk adaptor. Thank goodness Olympus has a great website that not only can you get your questions answered, but you can down load instructions and software to make the connection between camera to floppy disk adaptor to computer relatively easy.

Summary: Help with the battery problem!
Review: You can extend the life of the batteries by avoiding the ever present temptation to review every picture you take through the LCD screen. Also, leave the screen off when you take pictures and use the traditional view finder, the batteries seem to last as long as a regular 35MM. A side note, I remember paying $799.99 at a well know merchandise center in April '99. Great price here. Additionally, I believe the Flashpath Smart Media Adapter is a must! Loading full images through the camera cables is like connecting at 14,400 baud vs. ISDN T-3!
