Olympus Camedia C-100

Olympus Camedia C-100 ... photography - effortlessly: the CAMEDIA C-100 from Olympus. Those who still believe digital photography is complicated and expensive should take a good look at the latest CAMEDIA model from Olympus. The C-100 is surprisingly affordable and straightforward to use. With this innovation, even the automatic camera photographer with little experience can take impressive digital photos from go - without puzzling over the handbook or lengthy instructions! And to assure that the striking display or screen image results stay just as convincing when printed on photo paper, Olympus equips the C-100 with a 1.31-megapixel CCD chip, as well as a high-quality optical system consisting of five lenses in five groups. The camera even features a movie function for recording moving images. The CAMEDIA C-100 will enthuse not only the beginner, but the ambitious digital photographer who wants to influence and control the photographic process as well. A broad range of variable camera adjustments and six flash modes can be selected to suit shooting conditions. One feature guaranteed to arouse enthusiasm is the panorama function conceived for - among other purposes - extraordinary landscape photography. By joining numerous individual shots taken from slightly different angles, it is possible to create a single panorama image that reveals a completely new view of the subject.

The user-friendly menu assures effortless and precise camera operation. The TFT LCD informs the photographer about more than the current date, exact time and the chosen shooting parameters. It also allows immediate review and presentation of the picture just taken. The user can delete unwanted shots straightaway. Olympus provides the C-100 with a precise lens. Thanks to its digital zoom function, however, the subject can be enlarged up to four times. With the movie function, short action sequences can be captured at a speed of 15 frames per second. The camera stores picture files plus additional information (e.g., printing instructions for a photo lab, if required) onto a SmartMedia card. When the card is full, it can be changed in a matter of seconds. In comparison with the other CAMEDIA models, the C-100 also features an internal memory with capacity for up to seven SQ images. Thanks to USB compatibility, the camera can be automatically recognized as an external drive when connected to a computer or notebook. That is why copying the digital shots onto the hard drive for editing or mailing is just as quick and easy as transferring files from a CD. The CAMEDIA C-100 proves to be a very well equipped, versatile and easy-to-operate digital camera, offered, moreover, at an extraordinarily attractive price.
