User Reviews: Olympus D-460 Zoom Digital Camera
great camera
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.

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 laptop with 1024x768 res.

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.

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 picture 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.

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...Was this review helpful? Yes - NoGreat Camera
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.

I am not a professional fotographer, but I want to take nice pictures like pro's fotos. That's why I chose this camera. I found it with a very cheaper price than its retail price in yahoo shopping and I just bought it.
The picture quality is not the best but it is OK. The pictures are a little darker and noisier than usual . But if you increase brightness and resize picture, it even looks better than regular photos. Unfortunately it comes to a smaller size than 1.3 MP when you want a crisp sharp picture.
The upload process is slow but it is not a problem for me, cause I deal with other things -I surf the web- while its uploading in the background. And if you also have an adapter or rechargable batteries, this camera is the best buy for %80 of digital camera customers.Was this review helpful? Yes - Nosolid, but more bang for your buck elsew
It's the size of an index card, but takes 2.11MP images and has a 3x optical zoom. Kinda neat is that you can take mini QuickTime movies with it and you can watch them on your TV. Like Olympus digital cameras in this price range, it produces nice images, but it seems you can get more for your money elsewhere.

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 the 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.Was this 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.
