The Olympus C2000 Digital Camera
The first thing that impressed us was the camera's Zoom's compactness; it's one of the smallest digital cameras we've seen. Its unique styling makes it look like a miniature SLR. Its 1.8-inch LCD, while smaller than those of most digital cameras by necessity, was very bright and sharp and was fine for all our picture-taking needs. The Olympus C2000 digital camera takes four AA batteries; we recommend investing in rechargeable NiMH AAs, since you'll probably go through them rather quickly. (The LCD screen, in particular, takes a lot of power.) This Olympus digital camera has one of the highest resolutions on the consumer market, at 1600 x 1200 dpi. It also lets you take images at 1024 x 768 and 640 x 480. In addition, you can take 1600 x 1200 uncompressed TIFF images--you can only fit one or two on a memory card, but when you need the absolutely best-quality image, you'll want this feature. The Olympus C2000 has a great selection of manual options--it lets you adjust exposure, focus, and even the ISO film-speed equivalent. In addition to manual and auto exposure, it gives you shutter- and aperture-priority options. The C2000 Zoom provides multiple flash modes (auto, off, fill-flash, slow-shutter synch, and red-eye reduction) and even lets you attach a separate flash unit. The camera comes with an 8 MB removable SmartMedia memory card; you can buy separate memory cards in 16 and 32 MB configurations for plenty of picture storage. The Olympus C2000 came with everything we needed to connect to our PC; downloading and manipulating our images was easy. Overall, it was a great-looking little camera with all the features we needed and more. |
