Product Description
Small size is no indicator of picture-taking power for this 1.3 megapixel filmless digital camera with 3x optical zoom capability. With features such as center-weighted or spot metering and a built-in LCD that lets you preview up to 16 thumbnail images, the D-400 Zoom is a point-and-shoot-zoom digital dynamo.Push-button macro focus takes you in as close as four inches. Burst shooting mode lets you take up to 10 photos automatically in half-second intervals. Panorama mode lets you "stitch" together a broad scenic vista. And a five-element Olympus aspherical glass zoom lens assures top-quality images.

This big brother of the Olympus D-340L might, at first glance, appear quite similar, but its extra features will impress any photographer looking for a serious point-and-shoot digital camera. The D-400 Zoom has a 3x optical zoom and a 2x digital telephoto mode that together produce a 6x enlargement capability. It has two quick-focus settings at 8 feet and infinity. The burst mode allows up to 10 images at half- second intervals, and the panorama-stitching mode locks the exposure and allows panorama shots either horizontally or vertically. Like the D-340L, the D-400 stores 60 images at standard resolution, and its super-high-quality resolution is 1280 x 960, but it's also capable of storing two images as uncompressed TIFF files--a feature that will win the hearts of digital graphics geeks. Image inspection and editing via the LCD monitor is enhanced by the 3x image inspection mode--great for checking out detail--and by the ability to review images in groups of 1, 4, 9, or 16. The sharp autofocus, excellent automatic white balancing, and four-mode, pop-up flash mean you won't have many "mistake" shots--the clarity and editing features ensure that you save only the best. So whether you're already a great photographer, or just want to become one, the Olympus D- 400 Zoom is a camera you'll love. --Barrie Trinkle

Beware of the Bloodhound Virus!.......2000-01-09

The Olympus D-400 is an excellent Digi-cam for the money. But beware of the Bloodhound Virus which came with the included FlashPath Floppy Adapter. Luckily, Norton's Anti-Virus took care of it. All in all, the package is a good deal,but just run a scan on the FlashPath before you load anything with it.

A very comfortable way to get into digital photography.......1999-12-23

Compact, flexible, easy to use and dependable, this is an unbeatable camera for the price. Image quality is very good, especially if you use the included software to enhance it. Comes with a bunch of cables, including one that lets it output to a TV, and best of all, a floppy adapter. This device (which normally sells for around $) lets a standard floppy drive read the camera's SmartMedia card, and is by far the most convenient way to upload images to your PC.

Ease of use.......1999-11-22

I received the Olympus 400 for an anniversary gift and I find it to be alot of fun printing your own pictures and editing them to suit your own taste.

excellent except it needs and ac adapter........1999-11-07

I started using this camera two months back and have found it to be good in all aspects of the camaera world. I use it for a hobby and am thoroughly pleased with all of the scenes i have taken some 800. The only flaw is the need for and ac adapter. Other than that it is and excellent camera.

Super, fun camera.......1999-11-05

This is a wonderful camera, it does more than I can totally learn in one setting. The instruction manual is easy to read and follow. My first pics were a snap and I'm sure will only get better. My only criticism is that it doesn't come with the requisite software to use the floppydisk adaptor. Thank goodness Olympus has a great website that not only can you get your questions answered, but you can down load instructions and software to make the connection between camera to floppy disk adaptor to computer relatively easy.
