| Tider's Full Review: Gateway DC-M40 Digital Camera |
This camera represents a price breakthrough of sorts as its the first time I've seen a non-refurbished 4 megapixel camera advertised for under 200.00! Of course the 4 megapixels are referred to as "effective" in the manual that comes with the camera, but I don't see the word "interpolated", thank God, so they must be the real thing! The pictures sure print out well.
There are three other things that are really great about this camera: (1) No cheap plastic body! Yep, a beautiful aluminum metal body! YAYYYY. (2) Comes with a 32 MB memory card. Double YAYYYYY, and (3) A REAL 3X OPTICAL zoom, not the FAKE digital zoom, which is really like having no zoom at all! All in all, I have to say I am really impressed with what the good folks at Gateway have accomplished.
