450 zoom (c-920 zoom) or c-1400greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread |
I am about to purchase a digital camera and had decided on an Olympus 450 zoom (c-920 zoom in UK), but I have just been offered a second hand Olympus c-1400 which has been factory upgraded to 32mb. Disregarding price, which is my best option.Many thanks
Colin.

Colin,I don't know if this will help you, but Olympus is soon to release the D-460 Zoom here in the United States. It will be an improvement of the D-450 including magnesium battery support, which should last 30 times longer than alkalines, new controls, buttons, easier-to-use menus, more compression modes, etc. www.epc-online.com said they are ready to ship beginning today, don't know if this is valid or not, but we can assume it's on its way. Same price as D-450, comes with those new batteries too.
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the c-1400, what model is that here in the US?
I was interested in the D-450, almost bought it, and found out about the new model and decided to hold out for a few more weeks. Am waiting for it to appear in retail stores here in the US before I purchase for the sake of warranty.
Hope this helps.
