Editorial Reviews : Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the almost identical D-450 model, the Olympus D-460L is a user-friendly and budget-friendly digital zoom camera. It offers a maximum resolution of 1,280 x 960 pixels and picks up images with a 0.37-inch, 1.31-megapixel CCD. You can bring objects up to six times closer with the combined 3x optical and 2x digital zoom lens. With programmed exposure control, white balance control, and an automatic through-the-lens contrast-detection system, the Olympus D-460L does all the thinking for just the right exposure and focus. It also features a built-in six-mode flash with red-eye reduction to illuminate a variety of low-light situations. The Olympus D-460L includes special features such as a 12-second self-timer, date imprinting, and a continuous-shooting mode. While the Olympus D-460L's automatic functions make it easy to take digital images, it also has an assortment of manual options to expand your creative potential. You can manually tweak the white balance, select a film-speed equivalent, or use special settings, such as macro, to achieve precisely the shot you want.
Using SmartMedia memory, the Olympus D-460L comes with an 8 MB card, which is enough memory for 122 normal-quality, 36 high-quality, or 18 superhigh-quality shots. This camera also comes with a software package for photo filing and editing as well as the necessary connectors to hook the camera up to your PC or Macintosh for uploading.
Olympus backs the D-460L with a one-year warranty.
Buyer Reviews : After some careful research, I decided the Olympus D-460 Zoom was the digital camera for me, and I wasn't disappointed! This is my first attempt at digital photography, and I wanted a camera that would take pictures of excellent quality, but wasn't too complicated to use. (I don't know much about manual settings for different situations and lighting, etc.) I love the way you have a choice as to whether to just point and shoot, or to adjust things first. The settings are so easy to understand and the menu so intuitive that even I can change the settings manually if need be. I did purchase immediately the following accessories: a USB reader, a 64 MB SmartMedia card, a battery charger and two sets of rechargeable batteries, and a case. I considered these items 'must haves' for the sake of speed and convenience. I would recommend this camera without reservation to novices and experienced digital photographers alike. The picture quality is amazing, and I've already had some prints made by Ofoto.com from pictures I've taken on this camera. You would never guess that they weren't made from conventional film. You can't go wrong at the price I paid for this camera!
