Advantages: Small, Smart design, excellent picture quality

Disadvantages: could do with a lens cover, manual could be better, Cant see pictures in Twain

I purchased a Jenoptik JD350 digital camera from the Internet eBay, It was my first ever digital camera. I liked the look of it from the start, but after I had won the camera whilst waiting for it to arrive I went on the look out for opinions, the ones I had read was very dissappointing. and a few that had nice results. But when the camera arrived I was in for a pleasant suprise. The camera was like the advert said, credit card size, in my honest opinion I though it was not going to be much good. But after installing the Twain floppy disk and CD ROM to the hard drive and studied the program, I took some pictures. Was I surprised, the pictures I took of varying objects and people was very clear, I had no problem at all with the camera, but having said that the only fault I could find was on the Twait program I can not see any pictures I have taken from the camera unless I use the "Acquire" option this then goes into the "Ulead Photo Express" program.I must say this program is excellent it has a lot more featues than I thought it would have. The camera itself is small compact, smart design, light weight, and simple to understand and use. The manual is not that good, a few pages of English and thats it. But as for quality of the camera I am very pleased with the pictures I have taken. My wife also purchased a digital camera that is far more expensive that my JD350 but does not offer the same picture quality. I have taken some pictues in Best and lower resolution and I cant complain on either display. The memory is 8 meg I think it can hold 50 pictures on lower resolution and 26 in high resolution. It has a LCD display on the top, with many options, like pics taken or pics left, 3 options on the flash, red eye reduction, you can delete one or more pics from the camera itself, the flash I have taken 3 with the flash in my lounge the ones with flash have turned out very well indeed, better than I had expected. Comes with a nice carrying case. So far
I have taken 54 pictures 95% in high resolution and the batteries are still good. Would I reccomend it to another person? yes with out a doubt.
So all in all I would give the camera a 9/10
despite the fact other people have given this camera a bad rating, I can only say the one I have is very good indeed. Dont be put off, give it a try its well worth it.
