CNET editors' take
- Reviewed on: 09/05/2003
Upside: While it doesn't offer a very advanced feature set, the M40 covers the basics well, with a 3X zoom lens, exposure compensation, white-balance presets, and shutter speeds from 2 seconds to 1/2,000 second. You can shoot 320x240 video clips with sound and record voice memos with this model too.
Downside: Although Gateway throws in an adequately large (for a budget camera) 32MB CompactFlash card to get you started shooting, you'll have to spring for your own rechargeable batteries; only AA alkalines are included. We also wish that the M40's light-sensitivity selections went below ISO 200.
Outlook: This camera has the potential--if its image quality and performance are decent--to be the best value for snapshot photographers in Gateway's first batch of digital cameras. It's currently the least-expensive 4-megapixel digicam on the market at $200 (list price).
