Olympus CAMEDIA C 150

...do not last very long. Olympus recommend using either Lithium batteries or NiMH rechargeable batteries, although I have not tried this yet, it is something I am giving very serious consideration to, after all when using video cameras it is usual to use rechargeable battery packs. As most of the work done by the camera uses the battery (the screen, the flash and the zoom etc) it makes sense. Instructions and specifications on the XD picture card, ...
...second part is the full Olympus Digital Camera Reference Manual. This is a 148 page document in PDF format (acrobat reader) This gives you all the specific details about the camera and what it can do. Since I have had mine I have only scratched the surface of what it can do, and I know that I have years of fun and learning ahead of me with this camera. Yes I have started to read this manual, mainly because I am so impressed with the camera that I ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 150

...Initially, I was bought the Olympus Camedia C150 as a gift where the brief was "just get something cheap with an LCD screen I can use for the Ebay stuff". The Camedia, I would soon discover, is far more versatile and I am on my way to taking more photos in the 6 months of ownership than I have ever taken on conventional cameras in my life. In the early days of digital cameras, you could tell the difference and film always looked better. This is ...
...improvement I could suggest to Olympus would be to have a facility to store frequently used settings, but for a camera around the £100 mark, who am I to complain? There is an extensive manual included, though there's also a "Quick Guide" for those of us who want to use it within minutes of taking it out of the box. I would recommend studying the manual. I've been more than happy with the quality of the snapshots I have taken, but the manual will ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 150

The Olympus Camedia C – 150 is in my opinion a step back wards for Olympus. One of the previous cameras to this is the C – 100, and to be honest, I use this camera mostly with the new one as a back up. The C – 150 comes with almost identical features, and options as the previous, but looks more stylish, is more comfortable to hold, is to an extent easier to use and takes less batteries. Also it is 2.0 Mega pixel rather then 1.3 mega pixels of the ...
...But it comes with an Olympus ultra-compact xD – picture 16MB memory card. Photos can be viewed on the display monitor after the picture is taken or previewed at any time until it is deleted from the camera. You can take a picture using the monitor or if you prefer you can turn the display off and use the viewfinder like a normal camera. It has a USB connection for computer use, and a Video out connection, the cables all come with the camera. The ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 150

Well as my title says this was my very first time into the world of digital cameras and i decided that i didnt want to spend a lot so i found this at Comet or Currys (forget which one) for £99.00. The main reason i bought the camera was to take pictures for selling items on ebay. The 2nd reason was to decide how useful it was as a full time camera on holidays. For the use on Ebay - brilliant, exactly what i needed a very easy to use camera, that ...
...though it is 2.0 Megapixel quality (not an expert on these things but if i was going to spend more money then i would go for 3 Megapixel instead) but definatly worth it for the money. For use on holiday - still not decided yet. I think it is going to have to be a no for the moment, but you never know. The main reason being that i would have to buy some more memory cards as the standard 16mb card that you buy with the camera holds about 27 pictures ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 150

Having never really considered getting a digital camera, I had the C150 bought for me as a birthday present. Initially I wasn't too impressed, what do I want with a digital camera? But then I started using it and was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The camera is extremely user friendly and easy to use, infact I still haven't read the instruction manual properly! Battery life seems quite reasonable as I know this is a problem with digital cameras, ...
...with a 16mb card, which will hold 32 photos at a decent quality, so would also recommend getting a higher capacity card. The software provided is very good, simply connect the camera to your computer and the photos are downloaded, it is then a simple process to organise them, print them or do whatever you like. This is a great camera for the beginner, snaps are of good quality and it is easy to use, believe me, once you have one you will wonder how ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 150

...I finally decided upon the Olympus Camedia C-150, which I bought from Comet for under £85. This was definitely a good choice!! This camera has 2.0 megapixels, 2.5x digital zoom and movie mode which enables you to record (very) short movies, plus all the features that I suspect every digital camera has. Included with the camera I received a 16MB picture card, 2 batteries (which I soon replaced with rechargeable ones) USB and video cables, a strap ...
...with. Its easy to install and navigate with the option of upgrading to a more advanced version. I have to admit I was slightly worried that I would not be able to understand how to operate a digital camera, but I needn't have worried. The instruction manual was well set out and easy to understand and the menus on the camera itself were very easy to navigate. All in all I consider this to be a brilliant buy and I consider the picture quality to be ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 150

...but I am getting an olympus one especially for my camera and it costs £25 but it is leather.... Also the software given with it is a bit poo, my brother gave me a better program "Adobe photodeluxe Home edition 4.0" which is much better and allows you to trim down the pix and fix them if necessary which is great for listing items on ebay... All in all tho, I'm not complaining it is a really great camera and I'm glad I bought it. Be careful where ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 150

...I decided on the Olympus C-150 as it had a compact design, was value for money and had a reputable name. When I brought the camera home and used it for the first time, I was satisfied from the word go. The LCD screen was a good size, the pictures were good quality and I could even show 12 small pictures on the screen at the one time, something I didn't expect. I also found the photo editing package which comes with the camera very good and easy ...

...it wa under warrenty with Olympus UK, they were probably the most organised group I've ever dealt with, I had to go on holiday while they had my camera so they gave me a C-150 (same as mine) for the trip, that one worked fine and was a relief that i didn't have to learn any new functions while on my hols! Within a week of my return they had upgraded my camera to a C-170 (which i haven't tried yet) for no fee whatsoever. I would recommend this camera ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 150

I bought my Olympus C-150 digital camera a couple of months ago from Argos for £100 and have found endless uses for it, i use it for my eBay auction pictures, my friend borrowed it for pictures for his mums clothes website, pictures of relatives plus loads more! The pictures come out well even when linked via the supplied TV-Link onto my 21 inch TV. The camera itself is full of features such as anti-red eye, in-built flash, timer function, it even ...

Another one of the handy features is the colour LCD display which enables you to preview and erase the pictures to minimize wasted memory space (great for while you are on holiday away from your PC – no more unwanted pictures!). The software supplied is very simple to install and use. I ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 150

i bought this camera over the internet from amazon and their delivery service i must say it was a bit slow i waited 3 weeks for the camera. However its a vey nice sleek looking camera it comes with a standard black case. At first the manuals were a little confusing. Thre battery consumption is very high, i would reccomend buying rechargable battries its a life saver in the future and it works out much cheaper. Downloading the pictures from the camera ...
.... the amount of buttons on the camera is just right not too much to be confusing. its very easy to use and the size is just right not too small for your fingers to get in the way and not too large and heavy for the hands. the overall design is standard with no extra bums or curves to get in the way or poke out of shape in your pocket or bag. So far i can say its very reliable to its master ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 150

This camera is great for beginnersat the digital camera game. It has easy controls and is at a very reasonable price. Although the memory card it comes with is a mere 16MB, you can always purchase a higher memory capacity for not a great amount of money like I did. In my case a new 64MB memory card for 20 odd quid. This is my first digital camera, and its so easy to use my 10 year old brother can work it! Also it has movie mode which you can have ...
...download these on to your pc, but with the scart lead you can watch them over and over again on your tele. You can also go through your collection of pictures on your tele with the scart cable. But don't forget once you have downloaded the pictures from your camera onto your pc delte them! ...

I got this as a birthday present so don't know how much it cost but I think it was a reasonable amount. The camera comes with all the software you need to browse and edit pictures. The picture quality is great, I've taken some excellent photos with it. I would say it is very durable- it's survived many drunken nights out with me and my friends! It can take small video clips as well as normal photos, has a self-timer, there are several different ...
