would recommend it for a beginner.
not a good camera [Posted on 2006-08-30]
We bought this camera on sale just before our first child was born. A month later we learned it was on sale because it was discontinued, and with good reason. It doesn't live up to the Olympus legacy. Disposable cameras are more reliable then this joke of a product. What a disapointment it was to find the long pause in betweeen shutter clicks. Not to mention the slow shutter speed. "Careful! if you move ever so slightly the picture is blurry." is a common phrase at our house if someone wants to take a picture for us. You can forget about trying to capture smiles of a happy toddler. I hate this camera and wish I had not been penny wise and dollar foolish. get a Kodak, HP or canon and go on.
Extremely dissapointed with Olympus! [Posted on 2007-05-18]
I bought this thinking it would be a great compact camera just to stick in my pocket and snap a few pics. That is about all it is good for as long as you are in the bright sunlight.
If you need to use the flash or there is an overcast sky you pics will come out fuzzy; same if you need a flash. The only time I got a sharp picture was in full sunlight.
The shudder speed is EXTREMELY SLOW!!! If you are taking a moving picture...forget it! You had better be taking a picture of a sleeping turtle to be able to catch the picture. Also, saving the picture to memory card takes a good 5-7 seconds. Be sure to get your picture the first time because everyones smile will be a frown by the time you get to the second picture!
Overall, I am extremelt dissapointed at the performance of the D-395!
a paperweight [Posted on 2008-01-08]
I bought this camera about 2 years ago and never used much as I am technology challenged - did a few things with it, and was OK. However, we had family Christmas and memory card was filled after 23 pictures. I read all the manual, and then bought a 1GB card to install and got Card Error. Took it to a major retailer, who said camera would only support a 256 card and good luck finding one. Nowhere does it give you what memory card capability it has. Took on AK fishing trip in Aug before this, and never used as I took another one (old fashioned film) with me. Thank God, I didn't rely on this one as my primaryOlympus D-395 3MP Digital Camera. As retailer told me, I have a "Paperweight"!! I upgraded to a Stylus 730 and installed the 1GB card and am waitng to see how it works.
Good Starter Camera [Posted on 2008-07-06]
A good camera for what it offers. I got this camera for less than $50.00. It does eat regular batteries but I started using Lithium and have used the same set for several months now.
Other than that it is impossible to find memory cards since this is an older camera. Stores about 30 pics at the highest level. Not recommended if you don't have somewhere to download your pics. Although my friends are glad they don't have to look at hundreds of pics from my travels ;)
This is the only digital camera I've had and I think the pictures are acceptable for a 3mp camera. I don't have the problems that others describe. I've taken this camera on two once in a life time trips and caught breath taking photos. However I'm realistic and know that it's not a high end camera that will show you the hairs on a dog from 50ft away. You will take pics similar to a disposable 35mm.
