Professional features abound in the five-megapixel C-5050ZOOM. The ergonomically designed camera incorporates an ultra-bright f1.8-f2.6, 3x optical zoom lens system. Its many manual options give you the freedom to create the images you want. The tilting LCD monitor helps frame scenes when shooting from difficult angles, such as from the floor or above the head. A range of automatic modes is also included, enabling the quick reaction to capture the moment. Furthermore the C-5050ZOOM is compatible with the new digital image storage standard xD-Picture card, as well as SmartMedia, Compact Flash and Microdrive.
SpecificationsProduct Features 5.0 megapixel sensor creates 2500 x 2000 images for high-resolution prints up to poster size 3x optical plus 3.3x digital (10x total) autofocus zoom lens Includes 32 MB XD Picture card--also compatible with SmartMedia, CompactFlash, and Microdrive cards Movie mode captures up to 148 seconds of video with audio Powered by 4 AA NiMH rechargeable batteries (charger included); connects with PCs and Macs via USB port Technical Details Macro Interchangable Lens DPOF Audio Recording Add-on Lens Mini-Movie ReviewThis camera takes excellent photos and in particular I like its ability to take photos in low light conditions. However, I can not recommend it based on my experience. After less than two years the capacitor that maintains the date, time, and user-mode settings failed. Now everytime I change the batteries, no matter how quickly I change them, the camera loses these settings. It's very annoying and in my opinion a serious product defect. Based on my Internet research I am not alone in having this problem and Olympus apparently has no interest in offering a reasonably priced repair. Very disappointing. Source: http://www.amazon.com |
