Offering the same award-winning compact design and features of the best-selling C-3030 Zoom, the C-3040 Zoom has improved the performance of its high resolution CCD with its newly designed and world's first super-bright f1.8 multi-element aspherical glass 3x zoom lens. This new design allows the C-3040 Zoom to achieve an extended flash working range and better low-light shooting capability to help deliver one of the highest levels of picture quality available in a 3-megapixel camera.
