Olympus Camedia C-150

I have looked and looked for a digital camera for ages, to be honest as I am no expert I found the whole thing quite daunting. I have always been a 35mm type person and I feel quite confident with most aspects of normal cameras. But the whole digital field is new. I have used a few digital cameras but buying my own and what do I want it to do, that was something else. Then along came Christmas and the most amazing woman in the whole wide world had been out looking, researching and discreetly asking me about what I would look for. The end result is she gave me a really amazing present. I can honestly say I ...  Read the complete review

I once swore that I would never bother with a digital camera. The cheap models produced disappointing “webcam” type results and a fortune would need to be paid to get anything that rivalled the 35mm SLR (Single Lens Reflex) cameras. However, all has changed within the space of a few years and with Dixons recently announcing they were due discontinue stocking conventional film cameras, I suppose it was inevitable I would be won over. Why I Needed One - I’m an Ebay user and the cheap webcam I used for placing photos of items I was auctioning just didn’t hack it. I’m also a cheapskate who hates waste! Whilst I’ve owned a half decent film camera for many ...  Read the complete review

I just received this as a Christmas present. The camera itself is compact and lightweight. It comes with two pencil batteries, but I was advised by a veteran digital camera user to buy rechargeable batteries, which I now have done - as the display feature takes alot of power to run. I'd say this is pretty good advice for anyone buying any digital camera (assuming they all take ordinary batteries!) Anyhow, the camera comes with a "Quick start guide", which does exactly what it says. It gives easy instructions on how to get your camera up and running straight away. More detailed function guides can be found in the main booklet. The ...  Read the complete review

i bought 2 of these wonderful little cameras last september just before going on holiday, one for myself and one for my other half. i have been a keen photographer for many years and for a while was semi professional but i had never ben tempted to venture into the digital field. the name of olympus in the world of 35mm is synonymous with quality, this and the low price swung it for me. in less than half an hour i was producing excellent images but more surprising my technophobic wife was getting equally good results. the camera is neat robust and well made, it has a video feature, settings for portrait, landscape and close up. the 2 megapixels give good prints up to ...  Read the complete review
