Olympus Camedia C-1 Zoom ... C-1 ZOOM [c-you] is ideal for those looking for the best start in digital photography. Besides a bright, 3x zoom lens it also includes the exclusive TruePic image optimization system which guarantees impressive true-color results with amazing clarity. Furthermore, automatic operation and the user-friendly menu ensure effortless shooting. This affordable digital compact camera comes in a sleek, stylish design. Sporting a stylish, flowing design and compact form, the C-1 ZOOM is sure to get noticed. It slips comfortably into just about any pocket. The opto-digital specialist Olympus has made sure this digital camera offers the level of photo performance and enjoyment found in analog compact models at a price the first-time user can afford.

The bright lens provides the photographer with more versatility when shooting in low-light conditions, such as at dusk. By using the 3x optical zoom together with the 2x digital zoom, the user can move in 6x closer for more detail or pull out for the big picture. Precision metering systems ensure effortless operation. While the Through-The-Lens (TTL) autofocus delivers superb sharpness, the camera's ESP light metering system takes readings from numerous points in the frame to find the optimal exposure settings. In tricky lighting conditions, the photographer may also use the exposure compensation. Life-like colors are assured by automatic white balance. Four pre-set white balance modes (sunlight, overcast days, tungsten and florescent light) are also available. To improve the picture's gradation, color and contrast, this model also utilizes the innovative Olympus TruePic algorithm. Olympus has paid special attention to making this camera very user-friendly. Automatic settings offer trouble-free, single button operation. The first-time user will also find it easy to try out the manually-adjustable features thanks to the well-laid-out menu, displayed in the color TFT LCD monitor on the rear of the camera. The arrow-key makes scrolling through the options fast and comfortable. "Shooting digital" lets the photographer check - and enjoy - the results immediately on the LCD monitor. If the photo is not as intended or does not show the desired effect, it can be deleted and a new shot taken. Olympus has pooled its opto-digital experience to make the C-1 ZOOM [c-you] a camera that incorporates top performance and ease-of-use at an attractive price. With the second model in the [c-you] series planned for this summer, Olympus presents a superb opportunity for everyone to discover digital photography.

Premium Review Olympus Camedia C-1 Zoom: Happy snapping in the digital age (320 words)

I have owned this super little digi-cam for a few years now and have been extremely pleased with the pictures it takes. Because you can vary the quality of each picture - obviously the higher quality the pic the more memory it occupies - you can be sure that when you upload to the internet or to a photo program you won't end up with highly pixelated or blurry results. It is a lightweight little camera, extremely easy to use - all the functions work on a staged basis with a very visible menu on-screen so that nothing is left to happenstance. It also, crucially, will double-check you if you are about to erase a single pic or the entire memory card. ...

I bought my C-1 Zoom a couple of summers ago and I think that it is a great piece of kit. I have had the camera back to olympus on one occasion, I had let a friend borrow the camera and on return it refused to work , it just wouldnt power up no matter what. It is unknown what had happened to it but I have never personally had it go wrong on me before or since the incident and it does take a lot of batter having travelled a lot over its two year life. The c-1 zoom is not intended as a fantastic expert camera, I think this is more of a point click and save your image camera, it is a very easy to use camera. All you have to do is point and click the ...

20X Zoom is unbelievable, 10MP, User-Friendly Menu, Large LCD screen, TTL Hot-shoe, 10-picture Panor No way to "permanently" mount a protective (UV, Sky) lens filter. Flash seems a bit weak. Small(ish)

Quality in its build and photographs!! Great Manual, very informative. Possible to get much smaller cameras now.

Great price, easy to use, plenty of features Poor zoom

Excellent pictures, nice, stylish camera software
