No more 35mm film for me.

Date of Review:  Jun 6, 2002

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is a great step up camera for someone looking for a ton of features, and good picture quality.
Review: I purchased this camera for my wife to replace her Kodak DC-215. I wanted a camera based on the CF Card platform, and selected the A40 based on other Epinions reviews.

When you pull this camera out of the box, the first thing that you will...
