    Perfect for beginners

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 21, 2002 | 5 out of 6 found this Olympus D-460 Zoom Digital Camera review helpful

    This was my first digital camera. It has an Ergenomically perfect design and an easy to operate menu. It has the panorama function, without which I cannot live. It also has a large and clear LCD screen. The camera is reliable and has EXCELLENT pictu...re quality even at low resolutions and varying light conditions. Why do you need a high resolution high megapixel camera at all? unless you are addicted to printing 8 " X 10 " photos every day. If you are in the market for a beginners camera, this is a great choice. Read more Less

    Dependable camera

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 25, 2002 | 3 out of 3 found this Olympus D-460 Zoom Digital Camera review helpful

    I bought the D-460Z at BestBuy nearly 2 years ago for around $400. The camera has given trouble free performance all along. The 3X zoom feature is quite handy. The 1.3M pixels may sound low by todays standards, but the pics look good enough on my lap...top with 1024x768 res. Read more Less

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 29, 2000 | 2 out of 2 found this Olympus D-460 Zoom Digital Camera review helpful

    This is my 2nd digital camera. I purchased the Olympus as a replacement for my old Epson 550, which takes exceptional shots, but is limited to 640x480, without a flash or zoom lens. I spent hours reading reviews and comparisons before I decided on t...he Olympus. I bought it online, from Circuit City- $52.00 cheaper than the in-store price, and with an additional $39.00 mail in rebate. Although ordered on-line, I picked the camera up at the store, saving shipping charges and getting almost instant gratification.I have not been disappointed. The D460Z has many features found only in more expensive cameras: 5 different resolution, compression, and image formats: 5 flash modes, auto or manual white balance, spot or average exposure, +/- F stops, 3x optical zoom, TV out... I could go on and on! This camera is the best quality in it's price range, with image quality not found in other more expensive units. The only negative comment I have regards the 2x digital zoom, which always captures in 640x480, high compression (lower quality) mode. You can get a better quality high zoom picture by using the 3x optical zoom in 1.3 megapixel, super high quality mode, and then cropping the result to the desired size. Read more Less

    Have enjoyed the camera and the fact that I can download pics from the disk to my laptop or desktop. Now I don't miss out on shots taken on vacations because I can review before moving on to the next. I also don't have to worry about how many pics I ...take or the problems of developing film.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 2, 2000 | 1 out of 1 found this Olympus D-460 Zoom Digital Camera review helpful

    Since I am by no means a camera buff, I was looking for a camera that was easy to use, didn't cost a fortune, and, most importantly, took great pictures. The Olympus D-460 fit the bill perfectly.I used it for the first time on a trip to Colorado and... the Grand Canyon this past summer and people who looked at the pictures could hardly believe that they had been taken by a digital camera. The only difference between this camera and a 35 mm(that I could see, anyway) was that the digital pix tend to turn out a bit darker.Olympus's excellent Camedia software took care of this minor problem, along with many other photo-editing chores, without a hitch. I would recommend, however, the purchase of some high speed downloading device(I use Viking Intelliflash) to get the pictures from the camera to the Camedia software, especially if you have taken a number of pictures. One could grow old waiting for the download, to say nothing of the battery drain. Best to get yourself some rechargeables and keep an extra set on hand(the camera takes 4 batteries).Overall, an excellent value for the money. And now the 460's "big brother", the 490, is available. Either way, you can't go wrong, even if you know squat about cameras and picture taking.John C (starman1@enter.net) Read more Less

    Easy to use, can view pics and download using smart media disk or plug in. just don't pack in your luggage and travel by plane. It won't make it. Olympus support not the best. Their website is not very good.

    I have yet to find a flaw with this camera or to find a match for it,the only very minor setback is the older style slower downloading.Olypus came out with usb cam's right after this model.

    D 460Z

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 1, 2002

    I have had my camera about 18 months and have enjoyed it. It is easy to use with a fair picture. I recently had a problem with the exposure, as the pictures are whitewashed.After sending it in for repair I find out it cost $135.00. I'm not real happy... about that! Also the only place that can repair it is Olympus, not so with some other camera... Read more Less

    Great Camera

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 4, 2001

    For the money as an entry level digital this camera is truly remarkable. This is my 3rd digital camera and I love it! With an optional 64 MB smart media card I can get 979 low res pics or 146 Hi res pics. The battery life seems pretty good and unlike... a lot of cameras, this one can use AAs so a battery is never that far from reach. Read more Less
