Advantages: clear photos, good price, nice appearance

Disadvantages: flap , batteries used up quick

Last year after seeing my friend with the Jneoptik digital camera I decided to have a better look into digital cameras. I realised how great an idea they were to take pictures and be able to load them up right away and adjust them if there are faults. If you buy the photo paper you can also print the pictures out instantly. They are a great idea and the Jenoptik 350 was the one I chose because it had a great offer on it and also looked good.

One thing I liked about this camera was the appearance, for one it was small and it was silver. In the offer I paid about £80, my friend paid £120 but didn't search well enough. By paying £80 I got a case and tripod with the camera so it was good enough. The camera has a handle so you can hold it or put it round your wrist. It is a nice metallic silver and on the front there is the lens and the Jenoptik logo. The side has a flash and there is the buttong to put the camera on or off. This camera also tells you how many pictures you can take at the top.

There are many things you can change while take a picture, for the flash there is the flash on, flash off, red eye and automatic. The automatic isn't always reliable though. The red light signals when a picture is about to be taken so you just smile and then wait. The flash is not too strong. The buttong is on the top right side and it is easy to press down but sometimes it doesn't make a noise so it's hard to know if it has worked.

The camera makes a beep to signal it's on and then every time a non flash picture is taken it makes a sound. This batter requires 2xAA batteries to work it. One fault about this camera is the flap where the batteries go on has never closely shut it always flaps open so when taking a picture I have to always hold down the flap.

To load up the pictures you open up your photo program and the camera section then load them up. With the Jenoptik software a blue square should show up on the screen and s
mall versions of the photos show up. You select the ones you think will turn out good and they load up then you can delte all photos or delete just one. I took this camera on holiday with me and got some great pictures. For small camera it does very well.

The software comes on a floppy disk and setup is straight forward no problems should happen but if they do get in touch with the company. On this camera you can select how many photos should be available to be taken. I choose the normal option which gives 50 photos but best only gives about 20 so it isn't as much and the photos aren't any better.

This camera is very handy for ebay because it makes your auction more likely to sell. The camera is great and when loading up you plug in the USB plug to the CPU and the camera side and another thing is pushed into the comer. These sockets are covered by a rubber flap which easily clicks on and can be pulled up.

This camera has never given me to many problems but it goes through batteries quite quickly. Don't leave the camera plugged in with batteries always take batteries out and switch off the camera or the batteries will be used up. The camera when plugged into the computer doesn't need batteries it all works itself. There are good bargains on digital camera just look around, this one is great to carry around and takes clear pictures.
