Advantages: small , compact easy to use
Disadvantages: poor quality prints sometimes

...Our daughter bought us the Jenoptik JD11 for our Christmas las year and we have found it so easy to use (even our grandson can use it and he is 4). The quality of the pictures are not brilliant and you have to watch your lighting but from a fun point of view and the fact that the pictures are there whenever you get home. Have had a lot of fun with this product. This camera was used to a great extent at the millenium pary we had and was thought to be great fun by everyone. It comes complete with it's own software which is easy to use and although a professional would probably not use it, it is great for the amateur photographer.... Read review

Advantages: Small,light,easy to use
Disadvantages: None!

...I have recently bought a Jenoptik JD 350 camera to introduce myself to digital photography. It took me nearly 3 months to decide on this model and I am really glad I did as it really must be the easiest camera to use,just point,shoot and within minutes you can view your photos on your computer. The software you get with it is really easy too. It may not be for the David Baileys of this world but as an introduction it is ideal.The quality is fine especially for e-mail and I have printed out some nice snaps on glossy paper. It's a tiny size,not much bigger than a credit card which makes it very easy to carry all the time. I would really reccomend this camera to a beginner as it is so easy to use.... Read review

Advantages: Fast, effecient and easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...Having owned a digital camera for 6 months I got heartily sick and tired of waiting for images to download through the serial port of my computer. I therefore decided to invest in a smart card reader from Jenoptik. I bought one direct from the web and paid £27 for a USB reader. It was one of the best investments I have made. Being USB it requires no power source and sits nicely on top of my monitor. The downloads speeds are almost instantaneous and the management of the card is as simple as a floppy. I highly recommend you purchase one if you intend to take digital photography even a little bit seriously.... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use
Disadvantages: Poor flash, quality of photos

...Never owned a digital camera before? Unwilling to spend a small fortune on a small electrical item? The Jenoptik JD350 should seriously be considered by someone who wants to enter the realm of getting photos onto their PC's! Not only simple to use, with very friendly features, this camera is fun to look at as it is very small and compact. The flash is not very powerful and the photos produced are not of professional quality but if you want top-notch quality stuff, then you will have to spend much more than the £70 I paid! I wanted a camera to take pictures of friends and families to post on my website or to send via email and the clarity of the pictures is great for this purpose. The Photo Express software provided, whilst it does not compare with the more expensive photo-manipulating software packages available on the market... Read review

Advantages: credit card size
Disadvantages: batteries go falat quickly

...I had always wanted a digital camera, it was almost like an obbsesion with me, i would go shopping and gaze longingly at all these wonderful cameras that were way out of my price range, until that is i found the Jenoptik JD 350 Digital Camera. It was in my catalouge for £99.00 in the sale so i bought it. It was a very compact and attractive little camera and also very easy to use so for a first timer like myself it was ideal. It has a self timer so that you can get a picture of yourself if you so wish, you can set the resolution for the type of picture you want, it also has a delete mode to remove last picture taken if required and it also has a web cam feature. The image resolution is 640x480 and the instruction manual that comes with it is very easy to understand also software easy to install.It takes 2aa batteries which i found didnt... Read review

...As he's been happily using this since May, the Coolster thought an update of this review was bang in order. He's since got better aquainted with the camera, and now Ciao lets you add photies to reviews, he thought it was a good idea to show people just how good the camera is, and show off his (ahem, somewhat dreadful) photographic skill. He clearly hasn't got an eye for a good photo. ORIGINAL REVIEW. Jenoptik is rather a much an underdog in the digital camera market, having a reputation of providing cheap digital cameras of 'bar
