4.0 out of 5 stars All AROUND FUN, June 28, 2000

By A Customer

This is my first digital camera, and I love it. The first time I picked it up, I knew it was a winner. Mass storage, easy to use, and it doubles as an external superstor disk drive. I love the burst mode for shooting sports action. The 10 sec video mode works great also. The menus are easy to acces and use, and the style of the camera makes it easy to hold and control. The ability to connect right to my tv and view my photos, makes for a fun time and instant enjoyment. Before I knew it I had taken over 180 photos, and never even came close to filling up the provided disk. The quality is great,and the LCD makes for great viewing. The only down side is the 3x zoom, not quit enough zoom, but it does work well. Other than that -- I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Great Camera, October 13, 2000

By	Orville L. Cutright (Barrigada, GU USA) - See all my reviews

This is the greatest camera since pop corn! I love it. With it's multi settings, I have found it great for taking pictures while riding as a passenger in a car at speed of 50 MPH set on Burst Rec Mode up to 16 pictures in sequence all in focus 1 Picture every 0.5 sec. This setting is also good when you want to eliminate the flash. Zoom Mode is great as a quick copying for old pictures and much faster than a scanner and who carries a scanner with them? With all settings except for Burst Rec Mode you can record (SOUND CLIPS). Remember it uses up disk space. When visiting family and friends, this camera has a copy feature. So take extra disks. Take your pictures on the floppy, use copy mode and then you can save it on the super disk. Don't delete a part of a set of pictures as it will create a disk error if you do. Do your deleting after you down load to your computer.

The soft ware that comes with the camera can enhance the quality of your pictures when there is poor lighting or you want to crop to enhance the picture.

Finally, the built in lens cover feature alone would be my choice over the Sony without this feature.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Product is Truly Everything They Claim and More!, November 17, 2000

By	Thomas J. Beshke (MI) - See all my reviews

The Panasonic PV-SD4090 is the second digitan camera I have owned. I was somewhat hesitant to purchase it because it is pricier than most on the market today coupled with the fact that my first camera was a $800.00 piece of junk.

It isn't even necessary to read the instructions before you start. The camera uses a Super disk capable of haoding 1500 pictures - unbelieveable. The pictures can be imported to any program very easily and the quality of what you get with sizes up to 8x10 is surpurb.

Motion an sound is also available with each picture you capture. E mailing to friends if easy and fun.

Few major purchases I have ever made have been considered as money well spent. This one was. You will not be disappointed.
