This review is from: Olympus D-620L Digital CameraIf you're considering buying a digital camera for the first time, consider the following three items as necessary: 1. optical zoom 2. built-in flash (as in light, not memory) 3. highest possible resolutionThis camera has two of the three. Technology is moving so rapidly that Olympus has introduced two newer models (D-2000 and D-2400) that are higher resolution. I guess that this will just be like my PC -- I replace the camera every three years.It is easy to handle and the software that comes with it is good. Memory cards are inexpensive to purchase. There's an interesting accessory, a 1.45X lens attachment, that gives better optical zoom characteristics. I recently had my Olympus D-610 smooshed by a horse trailer and replaced it with the D-620. There's no real differences.The only negative: other reviewers are correct about there being NO WAY to force the flash to go off at night. Recently I had to turn on the patio light just to get enough light for the flash to work.
This review is from: Olympus D-620L Digital CameraBought the camera in Dec 1998 and, after several months of use, have found two problems. The camera will not allow you take night photographs even with the built in shutter adjustments; the shutter will simply not take the picture and allow you to decide whether it is useable or not. Secondly, the plug in cable from the camera to the PC is very sensitive (am on my third one)and at times I have to hold the input plug on the camera firmly during the download or it will stop the transfer. The upside...great pics and this camera takes standard close-up, telephoto or wide-angle lenses.
This review is from: Olympus D-620L Digital CameraSure, it has great optics. And you can't beat a SLR camera for composition. The smartmedia interfaces [pcmcia or usb] are blazingly fast. Ample resolution to print a 4x6 photo.Think of it as the digital equivalent to a Polaroid camera. Instant review of your shots [essential at events such as reunions!] and enough features to keep you interested until it comes time to get the next great thing. As with any other piece of technology, I expect it to be rugged -- it is. The zoom is WITHIN the camera, not outside, so you can't hurt its gears by dropping it. It has screw threads up front and therefore will take common accessories. It is as easy to use, it handles as well and it works just like their IS line of film cameras. This is the first digital camera I've felt confident enough in to replace film for most social situations.
