Product Description
Panasonic's first digital camera with a high-capacity SuperDisk drive, the Panasonic PV-SD4090 PalmCam SuperDisk digital camera is an advanced model that takes the PalmCam digital camera line further into the computer age. The PV-SD4090 saves its images on a 120MB SuperDisk diskette, which can hold up to 1, 500 images. The camera is also compatible with traditional 1.44MB floppy disks, which will hold up to 17 images.The PV-SD4090 digital camera uses a 1.3 million-pixel charged coupled device (CCD) to take photos that are extremely crisp and vivid. These images can then be viewed on the built-in, bright 2.5-inch color LCD monitor, and deleted if desired or saved for later use. To view, e-mail or incorporate preferred images into personal or business documents, remove the SuperDisk diskette or floppy disk from the camera, place it into the corresponding SuperDisk or floppy drive on a standard PC and retrieve the image file. The SuperDisk camera is also USB-compatible, enabling the camera to be connected via the included cable, to the USB port on a PC or MAC for a much faster data transfer rate than the usual serial port connection. And, when connected to the computer via the USB cable, the camera can also double as an eternal SuperDisk drive to backup all of your data. The camera uses one lithium ion battery, which can be recharged in the included charger. The camera also features a built-in flash for low-light situations and an automatic multiple flash function to reduce the occurrence of "red eyes" in the subjects. The PalmCam digital camera is equipped with a 3: 1 optical zoom for close up shots, equivalent to a 34-102mm lens on a standard 35mm camera. An added 2x digital zoom can also be used for picking up details of faraway images. Other features include a self-timer and automatic white balance. The aperture can be set at F2.8 or F8, and shutter speed is automatically adjusted from 1/30th to 1/750th of a second. (1/4th to 1/750th of a second in slow shutter mode.)

    Greetings,
    I purchased my camera new as a low-cost alternative to the Sony Disc cameras of the day. It has the Super-Disk with plenty of storage, and you can also use floppies as an alternative. The higher resolution images are a decent 250K .jpg average size. And if a guest/friend wanted a copy of a pic . . . just hand it to them on a floppy. I've taken more than 5000 pics thus far and the original battery is just now short-cycling. I feel my original $250 was well spent.

    OK, the cons. This camera is 'Man Size' to say the least. It is slow to 'wake-up' and takes around 5-seconds to store a pic (less for lower-res pics, but why would you do that).

    I'll finish with some more pros. It can use a floppy which were cheap until recently. The battery lasts until you are tired of taking pictures. The camera functions as a spare drive thru any USB port. Takes simple Quick-Time movies. Has some very useful manual overides. And lastly, has a viewer that you don't need a magnifier to watch. Did I mention it also has an A/V output port?

    Thank You for the opportunity,
    Mr. Bill
