Olympus Camedia C-830L

I got my Camedia free with a pc system, so I can't comment too much on the price. It is my first digital, and an excellent camera. This Olympus is very easy to use with a simple point and click system. It comes with an in built flash and useful finger guard to stop you from obscuring the lens and taking pictures of your thumb. 1.3 million pixels meant nothing to me, but it is certainly high enough resolution for my needs. There are three different quality levels. The highest only allows three shots per memory card, but is certainly up to SLR standard. High quality gives 6 shots, and standard allows for 24. I usually stick with 24 shots. ...  Read the complete review

The ultimate in camera's must be a digital camera, And the Olympus Camedia C-830L has everything you need to take great photo's, It is missing one thing though, A FILM. Hurrah for that. No more waiting to see if that holiday snap turned out, or the picture of your loved one has there head still on there shoulders. Or just completely blank set of prints. This camera package includes a camera (it would be pretty useless without one) a carry strap (but no case, oh well can't have it all), software CD Rom, PC serial cable, Macintosh connector, video cable (pal), Smart media 8MB card, 4 batteries and an instruction manual. Did I say manual, sorry I meant ...  Read the complete review

I was lucky enough to have won my Camedia in a competition. Okay, the bare facts about the camera: My C 830L came with 2 Smart Media cards 1 x 4mb & 1 x 8mb, carry case, strap, batteries, great user manual, connection leads for hooking up to the PC (serial port), power lead & software. The C 830L uses AA pencil batteries which isn't as good as having a rechargable battery pack, but still does the job all the same. The serial port connection lead isn't as fast as USB but still transfers your pics onto your PC quick enough. There's some great features on the C 830L, which I use all the time, like the abilty to hook your camera up ...  Read the complete review

I received this attractive camera as a gift this Christmas and having experimented with it, I am really pleased with its performance. You have the option to capture images at normal, high quality or super high quality and the camera takes up to and stores 122 normal pictures! You can take 40 high quality pictures. The camera comes complete with a display on the rear so you can view your images and you can also zoom in to enlarge images on this screen. Although, the camera itself doesnt have a zoom function when taking the initial photo! You can also take sequence and times shots. The software that came with the camera is very easy ...  Read the complete review

I recently got a great deal from PC World on a ex-demo of this camera, I was looking for something slightly cheaper than the retail price of this model but they knocked me £100 of the price which brought it into what I was looking for and boy am I glad they did this camera is superb. The LCD view finder is one of the crispest I have ever seen and the speed at which it saves the pictures is great. I like the way it uses Smart media cards rather than compact flash. I like the size of the camera although some mite say that is a little bulky seen as it has no zoom. The battery life is seriously shortened when using the LCD screen, that is the only ...  Read the complete review
