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...

Advantages: Cost effective good quality digital camera

...The manufacturer says the Olympus C-315ZOOM is a stylish and attractively-priced camera.

Olympus Superzoom 80G - A great camera.

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Doesn't have a lot of fancy features

...I have just purchased the Olympus Superzoom 80G camera about a week go, there was nothing really wrong with my old one - but it was a bit old, didn't have a zoom and the red eye reduction wasn't great. I didn't want to spend a lot on a camera because I only really use them on holiday, and don't want to worry about losing or breaking it too much. So, while browsing on the Jessops website I found the Olympus superzoom 80G. It looked good so I decided at £24.99 I would go for it. Then my mum went into a Jessops shop, rather than waiting for it to be delivered. When she went in the store she couldn't see it anywhere so she asked and they had it behind the counter at about £50. She then mentioned that on the website it was £24.99 so they gave her it for that price which was good! I have seen this priced at most other places...

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 C-310 Zoom

Advantages: Easy to use, Super Macro mode
Disadvantages: Short battery life, slow responce time

...The C-310 Zoom is definitely a good camera for beginners. It provides easy access to simple picture taking, as well as having the ability to take short video clips. Furthermore, there are modes for landscape and self - portrait. The optical zoom function is also a plus - though it is only 3.2 megapixels, you have the equivalent of a 9mp camera with 3x digital zoom. The "Super Macro Mode" is probably the best feature of all. I've taken some professional - quality photos with it - you can get incredibly high detail very close up. The reason it only deserves 3 out of 5 are that it has several major drawbacks, the first of which is the battery life. It will last around 5 - 10 minutes with fresh, new batteries, and then will die. After only 5 minutes, it will begin to act oddly - the LCD will refuse to turn on, the responce is much...

Olympus CAMEDIA D 535 Zoom

Advantages: easy to use, great quality photos
Disadvantages: uses batteries quite quickly(but you expect that from a high powered camera!)

...Well, firstly it a superb camera. I can bring it anywere and take snapshots becasue of its somewhat small size and also its low weight. I sit here right now and just think how they have built such an antonishing camera and given it all the features the really expensive ones have but into a size thats unbelievable. The pictures come out great and every detail is caught becuase of its *3.2* megapixel CCD sensor. Also the camera has *12* zoom options(3x optical x 4x digital)-this adds to the great picture quality! NOw with these good pictures, you need a good screen to view them on. Well the 535 zoom comes standard and packed with a 1.5" colour LCD of 130,000 pixels. Its so fun to take pictures but then even more fun to view them maybe a couple months later either on the camera itself or if you use its cable to plug into the tv or pc...

Olympus Camedia C 460ZOOM - by Jovialduke

Advantages: well built, good picture quality, good price
Disadvantages: It didn't come with a case. not a big disadvantage, but there you go.

..., just make sure you have good sources of light as in dark settings it just doesn't pick up light. Outside or inside with good amounts of light the picture quality is pretty good though, good for video blogging or capturing memories quickly which is what I do. The zoom is very good as well, there is no zoom for the video feature though. I bet there is so much more it could do this contraption but I just take pictures of my family & friends and pictures of the country, and I think it works as well as anything for my uses, I'm totally satisfied. Ease of Use This camera is easier to use that any other camera I have ever used, it has a small amount of buttons with a relativly wide range of features, I understand some ultra camera buffs wouldn't agree, but I like it because within seconds of picking the thing up I knew how to do all types...

Olympus

Advantages: many
Disadvantages: None

...This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great little device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need. Other Features: 8.0 Megapixel CCD imager 3x optical (35 - 105mm 35mm equiv) zoom, 4x digital zoom Digital Image Stabilization and Built-in Help Guide TruePic TURBO Image Processor 2.5" color LCD and 10x playback zoom 16 shooting modes including AVI Motion...

Review of Olympus FE-250

User friendly Olympus Camedia C 725 Ultra Zoom

Advantages: Easy to use & very light
Disadvantages: Poor auto focus & Very heavy battery consumption

...I found the Olympus Camedia C 725 a very easy camera to use, also I liked the small compact memory cards ( M-XD256P XD CARD) which are easily installed into the camera just by pushing into the memory card slot. I did notice that the auto focus mode was very poor and that you had to take 3 or 4 shots of a subject to get a clear crisp image, although having a large memory card did compensate for this problem. I also found that the camera was unbelievably heavy on battery consumption to the point of having to change the 4AA battteries before filling 2 thirds of the memory card (with view panel turned off), the only option to solve this problem is to have 8 rechargeable batteries on hand. The design of the camera is very user friendly although the quality feels cheap, I found the hinges to the panel for the computer cable socket had...
