Olympus D-425

Viewfinder
There is no viewfinder on the Olympus D-425. The small LCD is the only view the user will get. This isn't all bad though. Most compact digital cameras in this price range will have a viewfinder - but it will be completely inaccurate. It's better to not even have the option to botch the framing of the shot.

LCD Screen
The LCD screen is small at 1.5 inches, but at this price range, there aren't many cameras with LCDs larger than that. There are about 85,000 pixels on the D-425’s TFT color LCD screen. Despite its size, the LCD does its job. It is accurate and gives a good view of the subject and menus.

Flash
The built-in flash has four modes that can be altered by pressing the top of the four-way dial. Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Fill, and Off modes are offered. The flash is effective from 0.7-9.8 feet, which is average for a compact camera.

Zoom Lens
The Olympus D-425 has a 6.1mm fixed focal length lens that does not have any optical zoom. This is equivalent to a 36.7mm lens in 35mm photography. There is a 4x digital zoom, but it pixilates the images, even on the LCD screen. If users wish to print good photographs, it is recommended to use your feet to zoom instead of the digital zoom.
