Amazon.com Product Description
The Olympus C-4040 Zoom succeeds the C-3040, and ushers the C-series into the 4-million pixels category. With a 1/1.8-inch, 4.1-megapixel CCD sensor, the camera produces images at up to 2,272 x 1,704, for a printed size of 11-by-14 inches. For further pixel depth, Optimum Image Enlargement mode (OIE) digitally interpolates JPEG images up to 3,200 x 2,400 pixels. Images can also be recorded in uncompressed TIFF format. The included removable 16 MB SmartMedia card stores 20 images at 2,048 x 1,536. You can record movies with sound in QuickTime movie mode; the highest quality clip captures at 320 x 240 pixels and 15 frames per second. For added personalization, you can attach four-second audio memos to still images in-camera, and rerecord audio over images with the included Camedia Master software.
The superbright and ultrafast f1.8 Olympus aspherical zoom lens offers a 35-105mm range (35mm equivalent) with a 3x optical zoom and an additional 2.5x digital zoom. Along with manual focus, the lens features TTL iESP contrast-detection autofocus with a normal focus ranging from 0.8-meters to infinity, and macro from 0.2 to 0.8 meters. Information is displayed on the main color LCD and top-positioned LCD screen. The color LCD screen measures 1.8 inches diagonally with a 114,000-pixel capacity and includes a brightness adjustment. You can use either the color viewfinder or optical, real-image viewfinder for shooting.
The camera offers complete control and versatility, a key point coveted by the advanced photographer. You set exposure to automatic or manual with three modes: programmed autoexposure, aperture priority auto, and shutter priority auto. ISO sensitivity adjusts to automatic or manual with selectable equivalent ISO ratings: 100, 200, and 400. This camera also features ESP, spot, and multispot light metering; burst-mode at two frames per second for up to eight frames; and in-camera sharpness settings.
The all-black camera body includes a rubberized lens barrel and a grip for all-weather durability. The rubber lens barrel protects the lens when the lens cap is off, while a tethered line ensures the lens cap never gets lost. The built-in flash includes six modes: automatic, low, and backlight; red-eye reduction; fill-in; forced off; slow shutter synchronization, first curtain and second curtain; and red-eye reduction with slow shutter synch. The external flash terminal permits automatic, forced on, forced off, and a variety of optional extension cables for PC sync flash.
The camera requires power from one of three choices: two included 3V lithium-battery packs; four AA batteries, not included; or continuous power via AC adapter, not included. The AutoConnect USB port allows for easy connectivity to any computer without the need to install drivers (except for Windows 98). Since the camera is recognized as a storage drive, you use the familiar drag-and-drop functionality, too.
The camera package includes a 16 MB SmartMedia card, (2) LB-01 CR-V3 lithium battery pack, RM-1 wireless remote control, A/V output cable, USB cable, shoulder strap, and lens cap with retaining cord. The bundled software is Camedia Master Software and Adobe Photoshop LE. Olympus covers the camera for one year on parts and labor.

No date and time for printing.......2003-08-14
C4040 very impressive.......2003-01-03
Olympus C-4040 Zoom.......2002-12-22
Great photos.......2002-11-26
The other reviews tell you much about this camera, so I won't repeat all that. I mainly want to add my additional "thumbs up" to the list of reviews.
This camera has a lot of features that deserve to be learned. So plan to spend some time with it to get the most out of it. A lot of the detailed documentation only comes on the CD ROM included with the camera, by the way. The camera takes superb photos in automatic mode, but knowing all of its features makes it even more capable, and more fun to use. This is not the camera for someone who only wants to point and click. But if you're considering spending this much, you probably already know that.
I have never taken so many beautiful photos before this camera. I print the best on 8 x 10 glossy paper and they are extremely sharp and colorful.
Nifty camera all around.......2002-11-22
Good digital cameras, this one included, are great fun to use
and 35mm users should definitely try them. It's satisfying (and
economical) to get rid of your failed efforts without having to pay to print them (that always galled me.)The 4040 makes crisp photos and even if you use a Leica rangefinder for your final shots, using a good camera like this one for experimentation and set up will save you a lot of lab fees.
For those who like 11 X 14 prints and larger and don't want to shoot every picture in uncompressed tiff mode for storage reasons, consider the Canon G2 in the same price range as the 4040. It offers RAW mode which takes up much less space than tiff while maintaining high resolution. The G2 also has a tiltable LCD for when you don't want to contort yourself to see the LCD at an awkward angle. Other than that, the 4040 is among
best in class. Its 1.8 lens is still brightest of the 4MP group with the G2 close behind at 2.0.
