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 CAMEDIA C 50

Advantages: Easy to use, compact, durable
Disadvantages: You have to close the shutter to view pictures

...I am a complete amateur photographer who is always seeking the perfect photograph, and after many years of trying different cameras (both 35mm & digital) I think I have found perfection. This snappy little camera is very easy to use, it has the capability to point and shoot but has the features available if you want to be a little more adventurous. I must admit I do tend to use the high resolution picture quality and this is probably due to the fact that when I do get that perfect picture to have framed, this gives the best results if you want to chop and enlarge. I don't very often actually print in bulk the pictures that I take but instead use them as my screen saver, so that I can look at them over and over again. I have just got back from my holiday and decided that I would print off 50 pictures this time to show family...

Olympus Camedia C-4000ZOOM Digital Camera

Advantages: Great value for money
Disadvantages: Poor manual and software

...several preset set-ups for various types of photo, such as scenes, portraits, night shots etc. The camera has a nice feel to it and is not so small that hands get in the way. The camera comes with a disappointing 16MB storage card, which means that in the highest recording TIFF mode it will only store one frame, however this is up to 76 frames in the lowest JPEG recording mode. There are available 128MB cards, which are about £45. You can get none Olympus cards slightly cheaper, but these do not accommodate the panorama feature offered by the camera. It also comes with 4 AA batteries, which I soon found lasted about a day and so I invested in a set of chargeable batteries and a fast 1 hour charger (£30). The lens cover is a bit plasticy and has to be removed before switching the camera on, which I don?t always remember to do...

Olympus C920 Digital Camera

Advantages: Low cost, good looks, high image quality, TFT screen
Disadvantages: Slow transfer speeds to the PC using the serial lead

...After a brief jaunt into the world of digital cameras with a simple little webcam, I decided to splash out on a full digital camera. After a while looking at what was on offer, I decided on the Olympus C-920 digital camera. The camera itself is a sleek looking design, with a metallic golden tinge. a sliding lens cap activates the camera, and the lens protrudes from within the camera once the lens cover is slid back. There is also a built-in flash for low light conditions. On the back, there are a few buttons for controlling the camera, along side a high quality 1.8" TFT screen for viewing the pictures you have taken, or for previewing your shot before you take it, instead of using the more traditional view-finder. The camera's resolution is a respectable 1280x960, making the CCD a healthy 1.3 megapixels in size. At SHQ...

Review of Olympus Camedia C-920 Digital Camera

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...

OLYMPUS CAMEDIA C7070WZ EXCELLENT PROSUMMER CAMERA

Advantages: EXCELLENT PICTURE QUALITY, EASY TO USE, GREAT LENS, METAL CONSTRUCTION
Disadvantages: POOR FOCUSING IN LOW LIGHT

...I have owned Olympus brand cameras before and the usually good performance made me select this 7.1 megapixel camera. I was not too impressed with its looks but what impressed me was the number of features available. Also the camera has an excellent lens and a robust metal body. The supplied battery lasts for ages. The monitor may be stored facing the back of the camera for protection. I had no problems using this camera. The manual although good is only a PDF document there is no printed manual. Although fitted with a focus illuminator for low light the camera often failed to focus particularly at the telephoto setting. Image quality is consistantly high with good contrast and colour balance. It is possible to set the contrast, colour balance and brightness as well as other settings on the camera. Apart from the poor focusing in low...

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...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 725 Ultra Zoom

Olympus - the peak of cameras

Advantages: Superb Quality
Disadvantages: Expensive and big compared to the compacts

...1 A Tough Market xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Olympus has a long history of brilliant cameras and lenses. It finds itself in a tough world as far as digital SLR cameras are concerned. The other big names - Nikon and Canon, have a huge section of the market already. Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and Pentax are eager rivals, but Olympus is determined not to get left behind. Their E series, and especially their latest models, are crossing new frontiers and making ground against the other firms. 2 General Features xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Let's take a minute to note what the E-400 has in common with the other SLRs that you might contemplate.! The benefit of a Single Lens Reflex camera has always been that what you see through the viewfinder, is what you are going to get in your photograph. A mirror reflects what is coming through the lens...

Review of Olympus E-400

Olympus - CAMEDIA C-100

Advantages: good photos, lasted over 5 years
Disadvantages: large and heavy

...I CANT BELIEVE HOW LONG THIS CAMERA HAS LASTED I have had this camera for over 5 years and it still takes amazing photos. When i bought it it was £150 but it is so much cheaper now and well worth buying. I have taken it everywhere with me, numerously dropped it and even got it covered in sand at a beach and it has still survived. My friends always complain that their cameras have way more mega pixels than mine but mine takes much better photos. When making these pictures bigger than 6X4 they can go a little bit grainy but as long as you don't mind standard size photos this is a good robust camera. The only downfall of this camera is it's size as it is really big and heavy but i suppose that makes it harder to lose....
