OLYMPUS - 'CAMEDIA' C-100 digital camera .
Why this one ?
Our Residents Association has gone from strength to strength , and with an Awards for all Wales Lottery Grant available for IT equipment amongst other things , we decided to purchase a new PC system , c/w priter , scanner and digital camera .
Being in charge , I checked out the various local retailers to see what was on offer in the camera range . Boy oh boy are there lots to choose from ... ...eye was the C-100 from Olympus , which was of similar proportions and weight to a standard 35mm point and click camera . The average price for this was £145.00 , and with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels was on a par with the rest , yet a good £35.00 lower than the nearest equivilents .
And a little about appearance.....
As I said previously , styled on a 35mm camera , this is a sleek looking silver piece of gear . On the front you have the shutter ...

Advantages: Cheap; Easy to use; instant view of pictures Disadvantages: not the smallest camera; video mode weak
...my surprise to receive the Olympus C100 as a present! I must confess I was looking at spending 300GBP or so on a camera with a 2-3million pixel capability, but was impressed with the quality of the C100 which is a 1.3 million pixel camera.
I have found that the picture quality is excellent and I really cannot see that there is any need to spend an extra few hundred pounds for the extra pixels. I have a friend who works for a newspaper advertising ... ...the adverts.
The camera is very easy to use. Open the lens cover and point and shoot. The camera has an LCD screen which allows you to view the picture you have just taken immediately and if you don't like it you can delete it. You can also use the screen to line up your pictures before you take them, like a small TV monitor.
An added feature is the ability to take 1 minute of vidoe footage. However as the flash does not work in this mode and there ...

Advantages: easy to use,up to 4.0x zoom Disadvantages: zoom not available on all settings
I have had my Olympus c100 for over a year now and its great.
Its so easy to use,just point and shoot, you see the picture almost instantly so if you dont like it just take another.
There is four picture quality settings:
SQH = 1280X960 BEST QUALITY
HQ = 1280X960 ALMOST AS GOOD
SQ1 = 1024X768 GOOD QUALITY
SQ2 = NOT GREAT AT THIS SETTING
There is also four zoom settings: 1.6x,2.0x,3.2x and 4.0x but you can only get all four on the lowest quality ... ...which i find a little annoying when I want a good quality pic from a distance.
There are various settings for flash,red eye etc.
I have found that on SQ1 with a 64MB smart media card I can get up to 300 pictures which would cost a fortune in film processing charges not to mention the price of the films in the first place.
The USB connection makes it really easy to download your pictures to your pc where you can view them and choose which ones ...

Advantages: good photos, lasted over 5 years Disadvantages: large and heavy
I CANT BELIEVE HOW LONG THIS CAMERA HAS LASTED
I have had this camera for over 5 years and it still takes amazing photos. When i bought it it was £150 but it is so much cheaper now and well worth buying. I have taken it everywhere with me, numerously dropped it and even got it covered in sand at a beach and it has still survived.
My friends always complain that their cameras have way more mega pixels than mine but mine takes much better photos.
