General Comments

Yes, I bought this Jenoptik jd350 digital camera barely used from a friend for £40.. thinking I got a bargain. I was very disappointed to find this camera is atrocious.
The main problem now is the battery compartment. Its shoddy build quality has resulted in it no longer staying shut properly. The only way to use it without it disconnecting the supply is to tape the battery door in place and then press on it hard as you take a photo.
The camera itself has tech faults also.. a tendency to decide itself when to use the flash or not, and enjoys crashing at spontaneous points.
The pic quality is heavily pixelated.. I have so far taken ONE decent quality pic with it.. the RS232 cable? just DONT BOTHER! Its very very slow and the quality that comes out of the end is APPALLING.
The final insult is the fact I have just upgraded to Win XP.. and is there a driver I can find ANYWHERE for this OS? Not to my knowledge!! If anyone can help, I'd gladly appreciate it.. although I doubt I'll be keeping this any longer.
The only positive thing I would say is that the camera is easy to use.. when it actually works that is. This may be down to the fact that this camera features no special equipment whatsoever.. it is THE bog-standard in digicams.

A serious waste of £40 if ever there was one.. DO NOT BUY IT!

    Correct in every detail.
    Could have mentioned the unhelpful technical backup (even when talking to them direct).
