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.

Premium Review Olympus Camedia C-2: Wedding photographer from hell seeks new commission  (1139 words)

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
