Conveniently powered by one CR-V3 or two AA batteries, the D-395 offers performance that's a mixed bag. On the plus side, its 3.26-second start-up time to first shot wasn't bad, but its shutter lag extended to almost a second, and the shot-to-shot time was average or below at about 3.3 seconds without the flash and 4.6 seconds with it.
With a few exceptions, images were well exposed, with pleasingly rendered and saturated colors. An occasional underexposure surprised us, while hot spots from an overzealous flash in macro shots did not. Our test shots were moderately sharp, but details were sometimes soft or missing.
