Olympus 8X25 WP I

Advantages: Image adjustments to give great view, waterproof, adjustable eye-relief
Disadvantages: fixed magnification, average build and design quality

...Binoculars are mainly used by bird watchers as to get a closer look at them. Many people also use binoculars for occasions such as holidays where they travel to destinations of natural beauty. Using a binocular enables them to see the scenic beauty from a better and closer perspective. The Olympus 8X25 WPI is labeled professional, but can obviously be used by everyday and ordinary people. These particular binoculars have an 8x magnification ability. This is simply the power of magnification on the binoculars, the 8x magnification means that the object or area you view through the binoculars is going to appear 8x larger or closer. The 8x magnification also means that this is the maximum and minimum magnification power of the binoculars. You cannot view an object or place with a lesser or higher magnification than 8x. If in...

My Review of the Olympus Camedia C-460 Zoom

Advantages: Easy to use if I can use it
Disadvantages: No Rechargeable Batteries

...The Olympus Camedia C-460 Zoom: My Review for the Olympus C-460 :) I got the Olympus Camedia C-460 from Curry's, I paid about £170 for it. I was very cheeky and said "what do I get if I buy it from here" they asked me what did I mean and told them "I wanted a bigger memory card free" after a bit of haggling I got the 512 meg card for a £10, They was selling them for £30. If you don't ask you will never know, I got a pc for a friend from Comet about 2 years ago and got them a printer free :) I got home and the first thing i found as with a lot of cameras etc was no batteries. Why or why do they just not put the price up by £10 and add the rechargeable packs? Lets get on with it....The box is nice and has loads of information on it. Covers the specifications of the camera etc. Open the box and oh look a little bit...

Olympus C-765 Ultra Zoom

Advantages: Easy to use, fantastic picture quality
Disadvantages: Bulky to carry around

...I have had the Olympus C-765 camera for just over a year. I find it very easy to use with a good amount of features. This model has the ultra zoom and also a digital zoom. I travel alot and this camera takes some amazing quality pictures. I find it useful for taking pictures of wildlife, as you can zoom in from quite a distance and get superb quality in the picture. This camera has 10 x zoom and 40 x Seamless zoom. It is a 4 megapixel camera. The whole camera package, which included the camera, camera case, 2 batteries, batery charger, instruction manual, mini tripod coz me £170 but this was 1 year ago so I should think the price may have come down a bit since then. You can view all your pictures on a small screen on the back of the camera which is useful while you are away on holiday as you can scan through your photos...

Olympus C4040Z - Don't leave home without one

Advantages: It's the canines spheroids
Disadvantages: Chews batteries something alarmingly

...OK ? I can't keep quiet about the Olympus C4040Z any more - I've had one now for over 4 months, and I'm still finding even more reasons to like it. It's my third Olympus ? I started out with the Olympus C2000Z 3 years ago - that was stolen. I tried a Fuji 4700 for a couple of days (check out my Ciao review of that) but I was disappointed with the lens and picture quality of the Fuji. I then went to an Olympus C2020Z (check out my Ciao review of that) and since a large part of my use is business related, I've passed the C2020Z to one of my colleagues, and now I've got the C4040Z ? brilliant. The C4040Z feels even better to use. - it's easy to hold, easy to zoom, easy to switch from normal to close focus, several of the common settings are on a couple of buttons on the rear casing and it has has an extra user programmable button...

Olympus C2020Z - Excellent

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, Good Lens Optics, uses AA batteries
Disadvantages: No charger, NiMh batteries, case or lens cap tether

...My previous treasured Olympus C2000Z was stolen, but the insurance company have now paid up. I had a brief dalliance with a Fuji 4700 (check out my Ciao review of that) but I was disappointed with the lens and picture quality of the Fuji. So I'm back with Olympus, and the C2020Z is great. most of the niggles with the C2000Z have been eliminated. The C2020Z feels like a real camera - it's easy to hold, easy to zoom, easy to switch from normal to close focus, and the on/off is now a proper position on the main mode switch. The menu rocker switch is very easy to use, and several of the common settings are on separate buttons on the rear casing. The LCD rear screen is even better than the C2000 and can be seen in all but the brightest conditions. Best of all the pictures are marvellous. Many of my pictures are engineering photographs...

olympus c-370. affordable brilliance

Advantages: picture qualit, features, ease of use, size.
Disadvantages: shutter lag slightly annoying but nothing to worry about.

...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 control. One of the most impressive features on this camera though is the macro feature which is superb for taking close ups. I have used this for a number of wildlife and flower shots and have one when put in competitions against professional SLR cameras. overall the quality is great on this camera, the images are really sharp and look very realistic, the only downside is if you where looking...

Olympus Camedia C-725 - User Comments

Advantages: Nice zoom lens, good picture quality, nice controls, looks pretty good
Disadvantages: Eats batteries! Not too suitable for action photography.

...Back in early 2005 I was looking for a good digital camera with as much 'real' optical zoom as possible (rather than just digital zoom). I didn't have the funds for a DSLR so I went down the compact digital route. After a lot of web searches and price comparisons I chose the C725. Overall, I like the camera and it has served me fairly well over the past 3 years. Plus points: It has a good feel in the hand and the weight isn't excessive. I think it looks smart too. The majority of the controls become second nature and once you have set up your custom settings, it doesn't need much altering. I have taken some lovely photos with this camera. The lens is pretty nice for its size. 8x optical zoom is still a notable feature to this day on a camera of this class. The super HQ is nice, fine pixel quality and correctly exposed shots...

C25, One year on

Advantages: Small, lightweight
Disadvantages: Robustness problems, lack of features that work, battery life degradation, limited reception quality

...I bought the Siemens C25 phone just a little over a year ago. I suppose I was drawn in a little by the TV adverts. The reality however after a year of usage is the realisation that, yes the C25 is a small compact and generally effective unit. I have begun to notice quite a few limtations when compared to other brands used by my family and friends. First the battery cover began falling off only after a few months and then finally broke off. This was remedied however by purchasing a cover case. The list of features on the phone is quite impressive with extensive messaging services. The only drawback with these messaging features is simple. They don't work correctly, and my supplier and Siemens have both failed to identify when they will be operable. The reception quality is also dubious. I have been stood right next to a friend who has...

Review of Siemens C25

Olympus CAMEDIA C 350Zoom

Advantages: Good picture quality, sleek look.
Disadvantages: Battery lifetime.

...I received this as a Christmas present in 2003. My dad is a keen photographer and recommended Olympus as a good make when I was on the lookout for a digital camera. It was priced at around £180 depending on where you bought it, which was about average for a non-professional digital camera at the time. My mum bought it for me in a larger Boots store (on a triple points day, I think). Inside the box, other than the camera was: - Camera strap - 16 mb xD-Picture card - 2 alkaline batteries - USB cable - Video cable - Software CD-ROM - Instruction manuals The camera itself is silver, with a sliding front that covers the lens, and all the cable connections hidden in covered compartments. All in all I was very pleased with the look of it. Camera specifications: - 3.2 megapixels - F3.1 optical zoom lens - 3.3x digital...
