Review Of Kyocera Finecam SL400R
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "ARTICLE" @ 08:00 AM
"The 4-megapixel Kyocera Finecam SL400R is a quick performer and is a lot of fun and easy to shoot, thanks in large part to its unusual pivoting lens. But the camera's lack of a lens cap means you've got to be careful about what else you have in your pocket. This, combined with mediocre image quality, makes the SL400R great for lovers of pricey, stylish gadgets but a poor value for the general consumer."
The SL400R replaces the three-star SL300R. It has a solid 2.77-second boot time and 2.34-seconds recycle time however it did not score well on PCMagazine's resolution test. The SL400R gives the same 1,050 lines of resolution as its 3.2MP predecessor which is too low for a 4MP camera. However, it is fairly inexpensive at $280 for a 4MP camera, especially with its f/2.8 to f/4.7, 38- to 115-mm (35-mm equivalent) 3X optical zoom lens and flash head pivots 90 degrees out of the plane of its body for shooting which would be great for portability and comfort during shooting.
