Great Camera for the money

by cgbruin , Mar 04 '02
Pros: good picture quality, color balance, ergonomic size, bright lens
Cons: lens cap design, slight overexposure, size a little big
INTRODUCTION

6 months ago, I took the plunge and decided to purchase a digital camera. I wanted to be able to take as many pictures as I wanted and not have to buy film. I also wanted to be able to see each picture that I took right after I...

Very good, but at a cost

by jjbrickley , Mar 30 '01
Pros: lower light (1.8f), excellent pictures
Cons: sometimes tends to overexpose, price
This was a very tough decision for me. If you check my past reviews, you will see I have already owned a digital camera (a 340R) which was about as low as you could go on digital and still have a quality camera. This was the most I ever spent on any...

Olympus C3040: You may not know what you’ll shoot, but it’ll be sharp

by elomage , Feb 23 '02
Pros: Good picture quality, fast lens.
Cons: Slow response time, slight over-exposure, no charger or power adapter included.
In this review I will concentrate on my experiences while trying out the Olympus Camedia C-3040 camera over a week and considering it for a purchase. The exact specs for this 3 mega-pixel camera can be found on Olympus and retailer websites, or in the...

Still has not lost its "wow!" value

by ovation , Jul 13 '01
Pros: Excellent photos, connectivity, size and functions
Cons: Pricey (but worth it)
This is my third digital camera and it blows away anything that I have looked at or worked with in the past. I knew it was time to move up to a megapixel camera so I did quite a bit of homework before deciding on the Olympus 3040.

Over one...

These pictures- WOW!

by e5amarjo , Jul 03 '01
Pros: Excellent Pictures! Quick turn around, burst mode.
Cons: Sometimes overexposes on auto settings. Software bundle outdated.
I'm gonna keep this short and not bore you with a lot of specs that you've probably already looked up. I bought this camera after much deliberation and price watching, and I am thoroughly pleased with this camera. The resolution is great, pictures are...

Great Photos plus F1.8 Lens

by donnyg , Jul 02 '01
Pros: Fabulous Photos, great range of user controls, fast lens
Cons: Poor documentation on downloading pics to computer, some quirky features
The 3040 represents a new advance in digital cameras, complete with super fast f 1.8 lens, tremendous range of practical user controls and, most importantly, fabulous pictures. Just finished two beautiful 5X7 portrait enlargements of the kids for...

Great for 35mm SLR Enthusiast

by bdins , Jan 25 '02
Pros: Excellent low light lens, picture quality, auto exposure settings
Cons: Remember to take lens cap off. Use of menus versus controls.
After 3 months of use, including quick shots in all kinds of lighting during the holidays, I now believe digital cameras can replace the 35mm SLR for most users. First to some concerns others have noted. You can save your desired settings as defaults...

Must buy for a 3 Megapixel

by blerickson , Apr 19 '02
Pros: Ease of use but has lots of customization options; included remote, and all cables
Cons: Small memory card, lens cap interference.
After doing a lot of searching on the 'net and looking at what some of my friends were using the Olympus was definitely the way to go! My only complaints are the smallish memory card that is provided, and the fact that the lens cap provides a problem...

OLYMPUS C 3040 ZOOM. Look at all these new features!

by ak2525 , Aug 19 '01
Pros: Great image quality. Fast lense. Classy look. Burst mode.
Cons: Expensive. Bad software.
I've just got the 3040z a week ago, but it's obvious that this is a high quality digital. It's got a lovely solid feel to the unit, so its very nice to hold. The color saturation looks absolutely spot on. The metering is sufficient to make the 3040z a...

Great quality camera.

by sergei , Feb 11 '03
Pros: sturdy body, pc connectivity, a lot of features, great tft screen, lens, power management, etc
Cons: accepts only sm cards
This is one of the best digital cameras I have ever used (I started in 1998 with Kodak dc260).

I bought c3040 as a replacement to c3030 which died in wtc

3040 is almost the same as 3030 -- body is exact copy, but there're some major...

Great outdoor camera, lots of functions

by ender43 , Aug 19 '02
Pros: Great outdoor photos, lens pulls in tons of light, good functionality
Cons: Average battery life, a bit bulky, comes with small memory card, expensive accessories
Ive had this camera for about 6 months now, and its been great. It takes awesome outdoor photos, very good color quality and sharpness. It takes very good low light photos, the lens picks up a ton of ambient light. This effect in conjunction with the...

Still holds its own against latest, now affordable! Updated Dec 03

by sprint900 , Jun 27 '01
Pros: 1/1.8" ccd, fast lens, good (AAs) batterylife, very flexible functionality, quick turnround, movies, good display
Cons: rechargeables not supplied, viewfinder, no NTSC/PAL switching, flash exposure, manual focus
Quick update December 2003 About 3,500 photos on and it's still going strong. It's not had a rough life, but I take it *everywhere* I go, and has been dropped a few times onto carpeted floor accidentally, and survived. I've added more memory cards, ...

Pros: EXCELLENT RESULTS, easy to use,
Cons: Can't think of one yet!
I purchased an Olympus C-3040 digital camera and have found this unit to be extremely satisfying! The quality
of the photos are OUTSTANDING. Contrary to what many say, I have found the camera is very easy to use.
The first photo I shot out...

So great I bought 2 of them!

by jt325i , Jul 02 '01
Pros: 1.8f lens, AA batteries, excellent quality images
Cons: flash is blocked slightly with add on lenses
I love this camera! It takes beautiful images for a 3.3 megapixel. The 1.8f lens is unbeatable, especially for indoor shots. I've had several digital cameras before & the Olympus has always come out on top. The screen is easy to see outdoors due to the...
