Olympus CAMEDIA C 370 Zoom

...Which led me to the Olympus C-370 zoom. Priced at £91 at amazon it sneaked under the £100 limit I had set myself and the decision was taken. On arrival I was staggered by the size of the package. There surely wasn't a digital camera in a pack that small? This camera is compact to say the least. At 8.8 cm x 3.9 cm x 6.3 cm and weighing 140g it fits into most bags and pockets discreetly. Batteries and xd card (not supplied) inserted and away we go. ...
...camera and it isn't easy to knock. Powering on switches the camera on ready to take pictures, if you want to view pictures you press a button by the side of the screen. Red camera symbol for taking pictures. Green arrow symbol for playing them. Couldn't be easier for someone like me. At the side of the camera is a wheel to allow you to choose the most appropriate setting for the picture to take. These include Auto, portrait, landscape, night scene, ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 370 Zoom

This was the first 'proper' digital camera I purchased. Previously, I had one of the first without a screen - very annoying! I purchased this on recommendation and haven't looked back since. The best qualities of this camera are it's easy to navigate menus, and it's 'logic'. By this, I mean that you can pretty much pick up the camera and shoot great quality photos without even opening the instruction book. The settings symbols are obvious: the flash ...
...the delete has a waste bin. Simple! I bought the camera really for ebay use - I have a business there. It's perfect for this as I'm never far from the computer to transfer the images. However, if you're going to take this camera on holiday with you (or to a special event) you're going to need a memory card purchased separately. That's because, in high-quality mode, you only get 17 photographs in the memory - not many if you're away from a computer. ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 370 Zoom

The Olympus c-370, great simple digital camera. Photo quality: This is something that I have found to be very good on this particular camera, although it is an only 3.2 mega pixel which isn’t the highest ever, it is still a good amount and as this camera undoubtedly proves, mega pixels aren’t everything. There are very well balanced colors which look very natural, also the brightness is very well balanced and is easily changed by the brightness ...
...cheap small and with the Olympus make cards; it allows the camera to take panoramic shots which is a very good feature. Disadvantages: The only fault which I can find with the camera is the shutter lag and the time it takes to heat up the flash. This is something that is to be expected on cheaper cameras and can get annoying when taking wildlife shots but in most situations this is not much of a problem and does not out weigh the outstanding good ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 370 Zoom

...did it all with an Olympus C370. In fact I'd say I took them all with the same camera but due to my own stupidity, my camera fell out of my pocket onto concrete. Needless to say it was curtains for the camera and a trip to the insurance company for me. That's not to say these cameras aren't durable, they are! My camera got damp in fiords, fell off my kitchen units and was carted to the other side of the world with no ill effects before its untimely ...
...pictures, obviously how many you get on your card depends on the size of your card. For quality I took 'High Quality' although there is a Super High Quality, it wasn't necessary for my holiday snaps. High quality gives you nice crisp images which display well both on computer and when printed. The optical zoom is fantastic as its retains resolution which is lost using digital zoom. The different settings such as , night vision, self portrait, lanscape ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 370 Zoom

I've been a dedicated user of "Proper" film using 35mm SLR cameras for many years, and was very dubious of going digital. So with this in mind i didn't want to spend too much on my first Digital camera, in case i didn't like it. But like it i do! The C370 was a reverlation. Very compact and easy to use with the possibility of taking very nice pictures. A little gripe is that the onboard storage capacityof the highest resolution pictures is limited ...
...not completely necessary feature(for me at least) is the ability to take short, soundless video clips. The only problem being that it does use battery life very quickly. You will also need high capacity batteries to get maximum life and user time. The macro settings are very nice and get incredibly close up to small objects. I was also impressed with the facility to take pictures in poor, artificial light. Colour balance is very neutral and pictures ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 370 Zoom

...toy is rather how the Olympus feels in your hand. It's very dinky and light, but the body is well made and looks pretty durable. There is a range of feature from portrait to night mode, which are available at the turn of the mode dial. The shutter release button is well positioned. There's no eye-viewer and while the LCD screen is perfectly good enough for the job I like to hold a camera to face and compose the picture by looking directly at it, ...
...themselves were sharp and the flash had pretty good coverage. The let down was in poorly lit indoor conditions when the flash gave the photos a slightly yellow tinge. The night mode performed well, with the use of a tripod or convenient wall I was able to get night-time shots using ambient light to bring out the background. There's a 3x optical zoom, which should be sufficient for most people's needs and the camera comes with all the leads, batteries ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 370 Zoom

...look no further than the Olympus CAMEDIA C 370 Zoom! This camera features, rather than a viewfinder, a high quality mini-screen. The mode dial on the side can allow easy access to the camera's many camera functions, such as landscape view, nightscene mode, and self-picture mode. The camera is also fitted with a memory card slot, which can optionally replace the camera memory with a yet bigger memory. Which means more memory, more photos, more videos, ...
...be connected up to a computer, via USB wire. By adding the free software, which makes the camera EVEN MORE easy to use, you can acess pictures and download them with ease. But be advised, it is strongy advised to get a memory card with this camera. A Memorax memory card is also advised. ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 370 Zoom

I bought this camera because it was fairly cheap and I didn't want a fancy one with lots of features. I just wanted a simple one that I could take photos with. It works well, and has 6 settings; -P-auto -portrait -landscape -night time -close up -video (videos dont have any sound though) The zoom is really rubbish and goes blurry when you use it. It also uses batteries way too quickly which means it's a nuisance having to carry spares around. ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 370 Zoom

...computer, 1.5" LCD, etc. The Olympus Camedia C-370 Zoom is extremely easy to use. I looked at the instructions for about 5 minutes before using, just to understand the basics of using it, and I haven't needed them since. All the buttoms are very self-explanatory, and straightforward. It has a few different options for taking photos, most of which I don't even need to use, including: portrait, self-portrrait, landscape, normal and video. There is ...
...The Macro zoom is very useful - using it you can take clear pictures from about 2 or 3 inches away, providing you have enough light to do so. You have a choice of a variety of sizes to take your pictures in - 2048x1536 is the largest, but if you don't have enough memory for that, you can use the 640x480 option. Doing that, you can hold about 70 photos at one time using just the 12MB of built in memory. Otherwise, you can buy an XD card for more ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 370 Zoom

As the title states this camera is a great introduction to digital cameras. It's fairly simple to use, however a lot of people get confused with the two buttons on top (one for power, one to take the shot) resulting in missed potential excellent photos. The noise created when the lens extends is rather loud adn the delay between when you press the button and when the picture is taken is fairly long sometimes as long as 2 seconds. The pictue quality ...
...display panel on the camera is of adequate quality. The battery power is ok. I use rechargeable batteries which last for about 12 hours. This camera is excellent for simple shots not so great for moving shots and the vdeo camera could do with a flash, but on the whole a good camera. ...

Crystal picture, anyone can use this camera without geting too much complicated over buttons etc. I had no problems with the software aswell. straight forward and easy to use and edit the photos. Comparing it with more expensive same 3.2megapixel cameras this is the best that I've ever had. No more mental pictures for those memories that come and go at such a short notice, now with this Camedia C 370 you will be able to clik and go. You will be ...
...to make pictures that later when you go for print you can enlarge without losing any quality. I have made not just a family album but portraits as well. If I would go for camera hanting again, I would buy the same. Of cource now it would be a bit cheaper. :) Just amazing camera for amazing photos and memories. ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 370 Zoom

Where shall i start?! I love everything about this camera. My old digital camera could not take clear pictures, but this one is professional quality every time! Its a sexy little thing, that fits in my bag and does not weigh much. Its 3.2 megapixels mean that you are picking up every detail in the photos you are taking. It has 3x optical zoom and 12x total seamless zoom, you can zoom in for ages! I zoom all the time and the pictures come out just ...
...has 1.5" Colour LCD Display and everything looks beautiful on it! The buttons on the camera itself are pretty straightforward and easy for a beginner to use! The delete button is a icon of a bin, the button to browse pictures is the play icon and to get back to taking photos, you press the button with the camera icon etc... It has 6 different shooting modes, 1st is normal shooting mode, 2nd is portrait, 3rd is landscape, 4th is landscene, 5th is ...
