Olympus Camedia C-2 ... of user-friendly digital cameras with a new double-megapixel model in an extremely compact and stylish design. As well as boasting a number of creative and fun features such as a panorama function and movie mode, the CAMEDIA C-2 radiates universal appeal and clearly embodies the Olympus philosophy: digital photography for everyone! Within a very short time, digital imaging has advanced tremendously in both quality and user-friendliness. As a result, an ever increasing number of people are looking for a digital camera that marries the reasonable cost and ease-of-use of their original analogue camera with the versatility of the new digital photo technology. The CAMEDIA C-2 is the perfect camera to fulfill these expectations. Characterized by a compact, flowing form, this model is the stylish accessory for everyone.

The elegant new CAMEDIA houses a two-megapixel CCD that, together with a quality optical system, guarantees delivery of impressive, high-resolution prints. Olympus has equipped the C-2 with a bright lens with a special aspherical lens element that heightens optical precision. By using a digital zoom, the camera provides the versatility of 2.5x magnification (up to 5x in SQ2 mode) yet avoids the increase in weight and price an optical zoom would entail. While maintaining the essence of easy and enjoyable digital photography - where the camera automatically takes care of parameters such as focus and exposure levels - this model introduces new features, such as sepia and black and white modes. By shooting in monochrome, the photographer can give photos an artistic flair or shroud them in an enhanced atmosphere of romance and mystery. With the panorama function, the more adventurous photographer is able to create fantastic 360-degrees images. By joining a series of slightly overlapping shots, evening cityscapes, gardens in bloom or ornately decorated interiors acquire a spatial continuity astonishing to the eye.

 ... one on the C-2. Despite its remarkably small size, the lens is quite fast (f/2.8) and the autofocus is accurate and responsive, although it is rather noisy: this is not a camera that will be much use if you need silent operation. The lack of an optical zoom does inevitably limit the C-2's flexibility, but it also makes the camera very robust; I've happily bumped it around in a coat pocket without a case. I have been pleasantly surprised by the photo quality: of course it's not up to 2009 standards, but it's vivid ...more

Premium Review Olympus Camedia C-2: An oldie but (mostly) a goodie (990 words)
by - written on 24/10/09 (Very useful, 30 readings)
Rating:

The Olympus Camedia C-2 dates from 2002. In this field, that makes it quite a dinosaur: you wouldn't be altogether surprised to see a starting handle included in the list of accessories. It certainly has its drawbacks, not least an obsolete and increasingly expensive memory card format, but a little to my surprise I have discovered that this very cheap impulse buy (from eBay for a tenner) is still really quite a capable little thing. I suppose "little" isn't entirely accurate: the C-2 isn't particularly tiny. However, it's nicely compact, and personally I find it a very comfortable size to hold. It is a little heavier than most newer cameras, despite ...  Read the complete review

was given this digital camera as a present over 3 years when I started going on several camping holidays and became really interested in photography. My sister has since brought a newer digitial camera but mine is still proving to take clearer photographs and is easier to use. The reason for chosing Olympus was that the reputation of the company is very good. They have been manufactoring cameras for over 50 years and have a vast range of simple shutter cameras to top of the range digital cameras. My brother in law has always sworn by this company for great quality products. The instruction manual that came with the camera was well set out and in several ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Olympus Camedia C-2: Wedding photographer from hell seeks new commission  (1140 words)
by - written on 07/07/02 (Very useful, 405 readings)
Rating:

I’ve always been interested in photography. About twenty years ago I was the proud owner of a Rollieflex SLR and a friend and I went into the wedding photography business as a sideline to earn a bit of extra cash. We did about half a dozen weddings mainly for people who wanted a record of the great day but couldn’t afford to employ a ‘professional’. Cheap and cheerful was the order of the day, and I still cringe when I think about some of the embarrassing moments we had. On one occasion we were in the church waiting for the bride to arrive when I kept insisting that I took a pre wedding photo of the bride’s mother and her husband ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Simple to use bring along anywhere camera (273 words)

Rating:

This is a good digital camera. It is a point-n-shoot camera in the same lines as the Olympus 35mm Mju-II. It is 2-megapixel camera giving you the ability to print pictures up to 8x10. For someone who doesn't really want to play around with settings, the camera takes most pictures well on Auto. Occasionally, usually indoors you might have to tweak the settings a little to give a better picture like Force Flash, or exposure compensation. The great thing about this camera, and all digital camera is that you can delete any pictures that didn't turn out too well! Also if the pictures don't come out the way you want it, you can always photo edit it with a program ...  Read the complete review

The Olympus C-2 camera gives outstanding quality prints for the money. It boasts plenty of features including 2.0 million pixels, 1.5?colour LCD monitor, date and time, self timer, built in flash, 5x digital zoom and a quick time movie feature which allows you to record animation up to about 20 seconds this is quite a nice feature but do remember it is only 20 seconds and that it will not record sound so don?t throw away your video camera just yet. You also get a 16MB Smart Media card with it, which gives you 11 super high quality prints, 32 high quality 58 standard quality and 90 low quality. The camera also comes with all software, 2 batteries and USB lead for you ...  Read the complete review
