Olympus CAMEDIA C 120

...easier to digest, and the Olympus name is one of the more well known on the market! I wont go into the full tech spec here - its widely avaliable. 2 Megapixel, Picture Zoom, Flash and 8MB card is all you really need to know - the tech spec is widely avaliable on the net if you are looking for more detail. I just feel this is a basic camera and doesnt need that much explanation! Now i dont want you thinking i am phobic about techology - i am an ...
...personal buying i tend to proceed with caution. The camera came with an 8MB SmartMedia card in the box, a USB wire for connection to the PC but nothing else other than the camera and instruction books. There was also a quick guide leaflet as well. The instruction books is not bad - but maybe it could contain a more useful troubleshooting guide and the quick start leaflet could have more useful information about saving settings, which confused me ...

...also has in big letters OLYMPUS C-120. Under the flash it has CAMEDIA in red letters and DIGITAL CAMERA in small capitals underneath. At the bottom in also states that this camera sports a 2.0 mega pixel quality which is much better than my own which is 1.2 mega pixels. On the top it has all of the technical info and the pusher which is in a grey style colour. The back is also grey and has the 2.5cm X 3cm viewfinder at the left side and the buttons ...
...Well this completely depends where you buy it. At Argos they are £150 at Amazon they are £120 and at ebay they are £75. It just depends were you find the best deal. My advice is to shop around and see if you can get a good deal. BATTERIES BEWARE!- This camera eats batteries for its breakfast! It takes 4 AA batteries and they are gone fast! So if you need your camera for something important take extra batteries!!!!! The amazing world of digital ...

On the front of the camera is a pull back front which when pulled back by hand exposes the camera lens. The back of the camera has the standard look through viewer and a digital viewer whereby you can see exactly what you’re taking a photo of. On the right hand side of the back of the camera are ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 120

Bought mine a few months back, and I must say I am extremely pleased with it. It is billed as being a 2MP camera, which I thought would be plenty. (At work we are still using an older 1.6MP camera that cost us hundreds of pounds and it works fine) Got the camera with a free case and a free 64Mb card (Smart Media Card) The Camera is a breeze to use, and has a variety of exposure and flash settings. This is NOT a camera for the professional, if you ...
...point and click camera, this is the thing for you. It is attractively priced, and takes great shots in most (more on that later!) circumstances. When I first used the camera and uploaded the shots to my nice 17" LCD monitor on the PC, I must say I was a bit dissapointed. Some pics tend to look a bit grainy and you can see the JPEG compression in them. Printing them on standard photo paper through an inkjet didnt help. All was not lost however, as ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 120

I got this camera as a first digital camera and had a budget of £150. I got this one for £120 and it has paid for itself. The memory card that comes with it (8Mb) doesnt hold many high quality pictures. I bought a 128Mb card and it holds more pictures than i can dream of taking! The zoom is great and produces high-quality pictures and video clips. The usb lead included plugs into my pc, and the camera is automatically detected by windows XP, which ...
...Bad points: the videos are all in Quicktime format, and I'm a media player bod, myself. You cant use cheap batteries, they take 1 or 2 pictures before they wont charge the camera. buy a set of duracell ad they last for ages though. Good points: Build quality is great. It fell out my hand in the lake district and survived a 30ft fall onto rock. No damage bar scratches. It's the size of a normal camera, so not too big, but samll enough to fit in your ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 120

I have now owned this camera for nearly five years and, despite the inevitable scratches, chinks in the paintwork and general grubbiness, it still works like a dream. Let me put this into perspective for you - I am an archaeologist, my phone has been on muddy digs, fieldtrips and a whole host of unpleasant places... If I can't break it, no one can! The picture quality is incredibly good considering it is only 2.0 megapixels, I have used several of ...
...blown-up for powerpoint presentations. The operation of the camera is incredibly simple; it has digital zoom rather than optical but still copes well either close-up or over a distance. It automatically adjusts to different lighting conditions so, to be honest, I've never really needed to fart about with the advanced settings. As well as pictures, the camedia can capture short bouts of film (about fifteen seconds I think) and has a microphone so ...

...my nephew obtained with his Olympus I decided to buy one. I attended a party the night I bought the camera and thought it would be a good opportunity to test it. I fitted a 6Mb memory card into it. I consider the 8Mb card which comes with the camera to be a little inadequate for more than the occasional snap-shot. The LCD screen gives a nice clear image, the image looks good even enlarged by 300% on the computer monitor. But how would the print-out ...

...supplied with an 8MB official Olympus memory card which was useful until I upgraded. A 128MB memory card is recommended (smart media is now very cheap at around £25 for £128MB). Under Windows 2K/XP this shows up as a removable disk so you can also use it as a 128MB USB drive (useful for transferring more than just picture files). The manual is detailed and there are quite a lot of features to explore. Camera settings can be stored so you get the ...

Good pictures can be set to read only at which point deleting all the other files can be done very quickly. Lots of example pics on my website at september13.homelinux.com (NB. I'm not advertising, it's a hobby site). If I had to grumble at anything it would be the digital zoom. Before this camera I used to borrow ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 120

After having an APS camera for a while we decided to buy a digital camera to save on the expense of getting our pictures developed and doing it ourselfs. We asked around about what cameras where best and this was recommended to us. The camera itself is of average size, it has a silver look to it with a dark back. It is very easy to use as i am one for not reading instructions and just working it out myself which i did. After using the camera a few ...
...taking pictures, so i replaced batteries and that solved the problem. But after approx 60 pictures later i found the battery life low again and needing to replace batteries yet again. With regard to the price of the camera i bought mine brand new of Ebay with guarantee and paid £98.00 for it which i think is a excellent price, and also was able to buy a case and bigger memory card for it at a knock down price why i was purchasing the camera so in ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 120

The Olympus C-120 is a good digi camera, but there are a few downsides. It is not the smallest camera if u like tiny stuff, and u get about 20 photos on normal mode, but u can buy bigger memery cards. A BIG downside is the batterys, they run out amazingly fast, so unless your rich, or have rechargeable batterys, dont get it. This is a good cam, because it takes preety decent photos and u dont have to be a pro, but don't expect accuall professional ...
...tiny bit small so u could travel with it easyer. The soft ware to load it comes with it, or i think you can take the memory card into Boot's to be developed (if u dont have a good printer, or photo paper) Over all for the price it takes good photos u can pring on photo paper, and makes a good present. ...

...is fixed focus the quality olympus lens means most pics come out fine. It also has a macro setting for close ups. At 2M the images can be used for quality prints at least up to 7x5 with no obvious digitalisation at standard HQ mode (1600 x1200). Camera when I bought it came with USB cable, software and a 8MB smartmedia card (will store only ~ 16 pics at standard HQ 1600 x1200) and 4AA batteries. Battery life is okay (uses 4 AA - tend to last 180-300 ...
...cards are cheap (can get 64mb cards for ~£20 + p&p on internet. That will store 128 pics) You can either shoot via the viewfinder or by having the LCD display on (this quite clear and a reasonible 1.6" for the dosh) which gives you real thru the lens shooting. Menu options are intuitive allowing you to review and delete duff pics easily. The flash has about 5 modes (inc red eye and night settings). Colour balance is good. You have several resolution ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 120

My Olympus C 120 served me well for years. It is a pocketable camera that produces quality 2 megapixel photos. By todays standards, the megapixel count isn't high, but most people don't realise that a 2 megapixel camera with a good quality CCD will produce 4x6 prints that are nearly indistinguishable from 5 megapixel plus cameras. I have a Nokia N95 with a 5 megapixel camera and I would say the quality and detail of the photos are nearly always better ...
...also is a major advantage over any camera phone and for low light conditions the results will be 10 times better than any camera phone. I would suggest this camera for people who want an inexpensive camera to take on a holiday, kids camera, to keep in the car, or handbag. My camera has survived a number of drops unscathed, whereas a newer more complicated camera would break almost for sure. The camera is very easy to use. The only real drawback is ...

I spent hours trying to find a digital camera that was not too expensive (as i have two kids) as it could get damaged, while getting a good long battery life and a good quality picture. You get a reasonable amount of pictures on the card and to buy eand extra card i found was really cheap just £10. It looks and feels like a camera to me and is so easy to use and down load i had no problems. Once on the computer i found it very easy to find the ...
