Product Description

From the Manufacturer

With the release of the new D435, Olympus packs 5.1 megapixels of image resolution into an extremely easy-to-use digital camera. First-time digital camera buyers will be amazed at the camera's simple operation and impressed by the brilliant, high-resolution images they are able to capture. A built-in Help Guide makes learning digital photography easier than ever before, and the light, compact body design makes it convenient to slip the camera in a pocket so you can take it anywhere.

Designed to Do More
The D435 combines a 5.1-megapixel CCD image sensor and a 4x digital zoom lens with Olympus' exclusive TruePic TURBO Image Processor, which significantly enhances image quality and delivers faster overall processing speeds for rapid startup, shutter release and playback. TruePic TURBO allows the D435 to capture information from all 5.0 million pixels with pixel "micro-smoothing" that delivers clearer and more color-accurate photos. This results in high quality prints that can be enlarged to 13 x 17 inches.

The inclusion of 10 shooting modes, accessed via a rotating dial on the back of the camera, makes it easy to capture flawless images in a variety of situations, such as Sports or Night Scenes. And with the QuickTime Movie mode, it's simple to create short movies of everyday events that can be emailed to family and friends.

The D435 accepts readily available AA-size alkaline batteries, eliminating the hassle of finding the right battery on the road. And a battery saving sleep mode helps users maximize the life of their batteries.

Designed to be Approachable
The camera's menu architecture allows entry-level users to make their selections quickly. The menu incorporates a new Help Guide that provides a brief description of each function and shooting mode to help users determine the settings that best suit their shooting situation and purpose.

First-time digital camera users will appreciate the camera's simple "One Touch" operation. Individual buttons for shooting, reviewing and deleting images are placed on the body of the camera in such a way that frequently used functions can be easily accessed. Macro mode, Flash mode, and a self-timer are located on an arrow pad conveniently located for quick use while setting up the perfect shoot.

Olympus Master software provides the ultimate in digital imaging management. An intuitive user interface makes downloading to your computer quick and simple, and images are searchable by date or keyword in the Calendar View. And with one-click editing tools, such as red-eye reduction, images can be touched up before printing or e-mailing. Online support, templates, firmware upgrades, and other user services are just a mouse-click away.

Connecting the D435 to a computer is easy with the USB Auto Connect feature, which connects the camera directly via USB 2.0 cable to a computer and requires no software. Or, if you prefer, forget the computer altogether. The power of PictBridge technology enables photos to be printed directly from the camera to any PictBridge-enabled printer, such as the Olympus P-10 Digital Photo Printer, without using a computer. Printing and sharing images has never been easier, and the P-10's photo lab-quality dye-sublimation printing produces archival-quality prints in rich color.

Delivering Style
The D435 has a durable, lightweight body and a built-in lens barrier. With its smooth edges and compact size of just 4.0 x 2.0 x 1.4 inches (W x H x D) and lightweight (4.2 ounces), the D435 fits comfortably in your hand and in your pocket, demonstrating that elegant design can be found at an affordable price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not That Great, January 20, 2006

At first I loved my camara, it took really good pictures for a very low price. But then I noticed that I was the only one who was able to take good pictures! If I gave the camara to someone to get my picture taken, it would ALWAYS come out blurry. Also, not a good camara for pictures where the object is at a distance, good for close ups only. I bought it less than a year ago and I'm already looking into getting a new one.

3.0 out of 5 stars D435 Overview, February 24, 2006

I liked the size and compact feel of the camera. The lack of Optical zoom reduces its' ability to take pictures a bit far away. I would prefer at least 3X Optical zoom. The size of the screen on the back where you view the image to be taken is too small. Otherwise it was an OK camera for its price. It definitely is a "beginners" camera. I needed one one step up! I will probably gift it to someone and buy a camera with the better features I mentioned.
