Product Description
From the Manufacturer
This highly effective, extremely reliable Digimax has a lot to offer. With 4.0 megapixels and a 1.8-inch color LCD, you get incredible options at an affordable price. The easy-to-use Digimax 402 features date imprinting and voice recording. There's also a double self-timer that goes off after 10 seconds and every 2 seconds thereafter.
The A402 lets you choose between three different photo frames and allows you to edit your images right on the camera too. Its size is 3.6 by 2 by 1.1 inches, making it one of our smallest and lightest-weight cameras.
The 16 MB of flash memory and up to 516 MB of external memory let you store plenty of images while Normal, Sepia, and B and W options give you the opportunity to add special effects to your captured images. Seven white balance options allow you to get true color shots no matter what lighting you're in. Your choice of five image sizes ranging from 640 x 480 to 2,272 x 1,704 pixels and three resolution ranges (fine, superfine, and normal) gives you 15 different size/resolution combinations. AVI movie clip and voice recording combined with smaller dimensions make this camera a great companion.

This is a terrible camera. I bought it in January 2006 because it was cheap and I had a Samsung phone so I trusted the brand, but it quickly went into a downward spiral.
It has no redeeming qualities: the battery life is horrible. The picture quality is horrible- every shot is blurry unless you are outside under optimal lighting conditions and you are in possession of a four leaf clover. The internal memory is horrible. The only reason I hung onto it for as long as I did is because I am a poor college student and tuition usually takes priority over everything else.
The final straw was when I took it to Japan over the summer and ended up missing out on lots of great shots because of all the shortcomings this camera is saddled with. Not even halfway through the trip I rented a Nikon L12, and the rest of my trip was very well documented. That is the camera I ended up replacing this one with, as I was very satisfied with its performance.
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Spend the extra $20-30 on a decent camera that will go the distance. This one will do nothing but disappoint time and time again.
I dropped it on a stone-covered grave in Tombstone, AZ (that was probably about hot enough to fry an egg on at the time) about two years ago at a height of about four or five feet when I nearly fell over a young kid whose parents were allowing to follow me around. Except for a small scratch on the lens it came through the experience functioning just fine.
But now, apparently simply due to age, it's stopped functioning normally. It thinks its batteries are low even when they're fresh, is not adjusting to light, and is taking very blurry pictures.
Still, it took good photos for more than a year (probably closer to two) after being dropped, which is more than I expected in the moments after it actually happened.
Pros: Has a good bit of internal storage, takes nice clear photos, is very compact, is very easy to use, has a landscape mode that takes great outdoor photos, and survived a heck of a fall.
Cons: Was over-priced considering the features (no optical zoom, only a digital zoom, only 4 mega pixels), has a soft LCD screen, flashes three times in any flash-using mode (sounds like no big deal but it can be irritating, especially in my favorite setting - concerts, and drains the batteries), has a looong shutter delay, and does not do well in low light.
MAJOR WARNING about the flash and low-light situations: If you turn off your flash in portrait mode, or use a low-light mode, the shutter delay becomes positively interminable because the shutter speed is slowed, which it does automatically. Because most of the photos I take are at concerts this is totally unacceptable. You have to hold incredibly still to take a photo that isn't severely blurred and your subject can't move for several seconds (I counted a shutter delay of over five seconds.)
Leaving the flash on is often not an option because if you have a crowd in front of you you're going to get a better photo of the back of their heads than of the stage. This became infuriating and is for me probably the camera's biggest drawback. I eventually found a solution to this problem... electrical tape over the flash. The camera functioned much better in concert situations with this little improvement. However, I never found my makeshift solution acceptable. A fast shutter speed (which is sluggish even at its best) in low light should definitely be an option on this particular camera but it is not.
Recomended for: People who need a compact, durable, easy-to-use camera mostly in outdoor situations (where it excels) or indoor situations where a flash is acceptable. A good camera for a family.
NOT recomended for: Anyone who wants to be able to take detailed photos of far-away objects or in dark conditions, or anyone who wants to be able to closely control their camera's settings. Concert and club goers take note: this camera may not be for you.
I got it for a friend at the office, is her first camera, and she told me how satisfy she is, so if u want to get a nice camera, not a pro camera, but is a very nice begining.
Buy it!
