Olympus CAMEDIA C 180

...and ordered one. The Olympus C-180 is one of a new range of low cost Hi-Res digital cameras now appearing on the market, that are aimed at photographers with a need to take quality pictures without all the complexities of a semi-pro device. The C-180 arrived packaged in a neat blue box that contained the camera, a USB data lead, 2 x Panasonic Alkaline AA batteries, A Quick Guide booklet, two CDs containing the required software and the warranty ...
...the only extra item that Olympus could have included that would have been useful to me would have been a mini tripod for taking Macro shots. More of that later. I'm a bloke, so the first thing I did was throw the instruction manual in a corner. I like to find out for myself how my toys work. I was a bit disappointed when I discovered the manual was just there to make the box feel heavier and that the camera was perfectly capable of setting itself ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 180

I was really pleased with this camera its my second digital camera and it was so easy to start using. the dial on the back for settings is excellent as it saves clicking through menus all the time and I think this is a really good feature. have just put normal batteries in it and they are lasting fine alot of pixels for your money also. I have had no need to look at the manuals as it is that straight forward to use, comes with a prog for taking ...
...as it looks more complicated than just taking them off the camera to the pc. It is shame the screen isnt that little bit bigger though, as it is hard to see the picture if you are taking one even a little way away, the extra size would have made a difference so if you like a good preview i would go for a different camera or try this one out in the shop. other than that this is a excellent camera! ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 180

I was taking photos with the Camedia as soon as I had put batteries in it. I still haven't used the instruction manual yet, over three months later! Yes it is that easy to use! 5.1 Megapixels, 4x Optical zoom, an easy to use menu system, a good quality screen, 7x picture modes including movie, self portrait, beach & snow, sport, night scene, landscape & portrait. There are 4x picture quality modes. It also has a built in flash, with good redeye reduction. ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 180

The picture quality on this camera is good, but it doesn`t particulary llike anything moving, even when on sport mode. The macro is good, I use it to photograph insects and also my husband paints 28mm and the photos come out well. The camera is a nice size so easily fits into handbags, pockets etc.. very simple to use. For the cost I would have expected the photos to be better on movement. Great for still, lanscapes, sunsets etc, useless for family ...
...it is good and you can zoom in, but without sound again disapointing. 10 shooting modes, 4 x digital zoom. Internal memory is good. Very easy to use, great for a first camera, with so much attributes to it, the only thing letting it down is the ability to take things that move. For this reason I wouldn`t recommend. ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 180

...and do so very well. Olympus have produced good analogue cameras for a while and this digital camera is no different. The design is typical of Olympus and the only negative points I can focus on are the lack of a viewfinder (you have to use the screen) and the zoom isn't as strong as on other digital camera's that I have used. I would still recommend the product to anybody as the value for money is excellent. ...
