Details
The tiny Olympus C-40Z (known as the D-40Z in North America) was announced on the 2nd September 2001, it entered the market as the first pocket sized (ultra-compact) four megapixel digital camera. In a small almost square case the C-40Z features a familiar Olympus sliding lens cover which also acts as the power switch, behind this we'll find a 2.8x (equiv. 35 - 98 mm) F2.8 - F4.8 lens. The front of the camera, including the lens cover, is metal, the center 'band' and rear are molded plastic (although a fairly robust variety). Works on 2 AA (rechargeable) batteries. Included: neck/shoulder strap, bag (leather/velvet), usb cable, short manual, smart media memory card, set of 4 AA rechargeable batteries with charger (European socket).
