Manufacturer Overview
Over the past several years, Olympus has been a dominant player in the digicam marketplace. With one of the broadest digital camera lineups in the industry, their models range from pure entry-level, point-and-shoot digicams to the incredible pro-level E-10 SLR. The Camedia D-40 Zoom is the second 4-megapixel model in Olympus' very popular line of Camedia digital cameras -- expanding its already broad range of consumer- and advanced-amateur digicams to a new, high-end prosumer level.
