The CAMEDIA C-4000ZOOM has exactly the qualities ambitious amateur photographers are looking for: innovative yet easy-to-use technology and a high-quality, bright 3x zoom lens able to draw in distant objects for a more detailed view. Even the price is right. No matter whether using the auto program mode or adjusting the settings manually, the images not only impress on the monitor but - thanks to the CCD's four million pixel power - even when printed in A3 format.

From the time you hit the button and the time the picture is captured is at times up to 2 seconds. This is unacceptable. I've missed way too many shots because of this. This alone is reason enough to consider other options. Menus are not intuitive at all and require lots of trial & error or actually reading the manual ;) Other cameras I've played with make the controls more intuitive. After you finish downloading pics to your computer and then turn it off the darn thing insists on cycling through a full lens extention before shutting down. You can hear the lens grinding away against the lens cap until you remove it to let it do it's thing... Source: http://www.amazon.com |
