Olympus CAMEDIA C 70 Zoom

I bought this camera to be my travel companion, and it has since been all over the world with me. Together we've taken some great pictures, that print up to A4 brilliantly, and in fact I've just had a 16x20 printed, and it still looks great. I had previously been using pro spec 35mm kit, and found the transition to this little box remarkably easy. It has the usual point and shoot program modes, but also, shutter and apperture priority, and fully ...
...ability to shoot in RAW. It feels just right in the hand, with all of the controls easy to access, and although it's small, nothing seems to be fiddly. It has a decent zoom range, although the optics aren't brilliant they are are still pretty good for such a tiny little lense. There is the option to set the ISO speed, although this could do with a wider range. The menu structure is fairly friendly, although it could be better, and I sometimes find ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 70 Zoom

...have had a number of Olympus cameras, starting with the OM2. My previous digital camera was also an olympus but died on me unexpectantly. This experience was making me a bit wary about another Olympus. In the end the superior optics and the functions available in this camera won me over. The camera is a little on the bulky side making it difficult to carry in the pocket. I purchased a bad that fits on the belt which works well. The controls in on ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 70 Zoom

I bought this camera thinking Olympus was good quality. We traveled to Egypt and the camera lost 400+ photos. On my return it took 3 months to get it serviced and no information, no reason, no apology, no refund offer or support of any kind - they did not even replace the camera - it can back in same condition with acoment - it won't happen again. We have no trust in the camera now. It also does not focus well - we take 3 shots and choose the best ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 70 Zoom

Being an avid photographer it took me a long time to plunge from 35mm to digital, and longer again to go from SLR to compact... however I struck gold when I made this purchase. My poor digital slr has taken a back seat to this convenient, compact and easy to use olympus. Its easy to use as a point and shoot but also great if you like to play with your images and use manual settings The image quality, even at full zoom, is excellent, infact I have ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 70 Zoom

My previous Olympus digital was the 3020, which was great but bulky (and "only" 3MP). This gives higher resolution and is easy to use, but the flash has nothing like the reach of the previous one. Also, the main manual is only on CD, so you have the choice of printing it (a huge task!), printing the bits you need, or sitting at the computer trying to figure things out. The basic printed manual is very, very basic. Having said that, I wouldn't swap ...
