Olympus Camedia C-200 Zoom ... CAMEDIA C-200ZOOM is an inexpensive entry into the world of digital zoom photography. With the introduction of CAMEDIA C-200ZOOM, Olympus proves that digital zoom photography need not be complicated or expensive. This easy-to-use camera produces high-quality digital photos that can not only be displayed on a monitor but also delivered as extremely convincing prints. Short film sequences for multimedia purposes may also be shot. The most striking features of C-200ZOOM are its high-resolution 2.1-megapixel CCD chip, an optical real-image viewfinder as well as a high-performance precision 3x optical zoom F2.8-4.4 lens. Combined with a seamless 3x digital tele, it is possible to magnify a motif by up to a factor of nine. Other significant highlights of this camera are its numerous functions and trouble-free operation. Optimal settings may be easily selected and checked using the handy arrow-key buttons in combination with the clear, logical menu displayed on the integrated 4.5cm LCD monitor.

So that the motif's colors are always recorded and reproduced correctly no matter what the prevailing lighting conditions, C-200ZOOM allows both automatic as well as manual white balance adjustment. In most situations, the camera automatically ensures perfect exposure of shots. In difficult lighting, the photographer can choose from six different flash modes and/or utilize the exposure compensation feature. A panorama function makes it possible to shoot, for example, impressive pictures of vast landscapes or large buildings. Highly attractive panorama views are easily produced by simply joining together the overlapping individual images, using the included CAMEDIA Master Software. Pictures can be stored on compact SmartMedia card, which can be changed in seconds if necessary. For multimedia applications, C-200ZOOM is equipped with a movie function. Short film sequences can be shot at a speed of 15 frames/second. Thanks to the video interface, "movies" as well as "stills" can be immediately viewed on a TV monitor.

With many others the zoom button does this automatically so you end up zooming beyond what can be shown in the viewfinder and have to rely on the (battery heavy) screen - unlike several others it has a lens cover built in which you open to switch the camera on - it has a USB connection so downloading pictures takes very little time. In fact compared to other cameras I have used this is so very simple. Once connected Windows Explorer shows the camera as another drive and you simply drag and drop the pictu...more

Premium Review Olympus Camedia C-200 Zoom: A compact digital with expanded features (255 words)

I've had my C200 Zoom for about a month now and am very pleased with it. It is small enough to carry around easily yet big enough to feel like a real camera. When I was shopping around there were others in the same price range that felt very cheap and plastic. This one definitely doesn't fall into that category. Apart from the feel the things that attracted me were: - you can switch the digital zoom on or off manually.
