The Olympus Camedia C7000 digital camera may not look so impressive upon first inspection, but appearances can be deceiving, and this compact digital camera certainly packs a punch! With a 7.1 megapixel range, very user-friendly controls, and excellent quality output, it's hard not to ignore this camera.
With the addition some very inventive and useful new features this could easily be one of the best digital cameras currently available. And without any further introduction, let's take a lot at what the Olympus Camdia C7000 had to offer
The Olympus C7000 is the smallest camera in its class, and weighing in at a mere 7.7 ounces means that this is camera is going to be as heavy as it is large, and keep in mind that there is a lot packed into this camera!
Upon closer inspection you find that the Olympus C7000 boasts a rather stylish metal body, finished in a sleek titanium color. Well laid out controls grace the back of the camera, along with a crisp 2-inch LCD screen that remains easy to see even in bright sunlight thanks to semi-transmissive TFT technology.
The CCD sensor located deep inside the C7000 has the ability to capture 7.1 megapixels of photographic information and when combined with a 5X optical zoom lens capable of 35-mm focal lengths varying from 38mm to 190mm, this camera more than lives up to its ability to capture top quality photographs.
One can enjoy taking sharp and clean photos with outstanding color representation and very little noise or distortion due to the TruePic TURBO image processor. Users can be notified of over and underexposed areas in photos in any shooting mode through color-coded highlighting as well as real time histogram. The C7000 can also record VGA video at 30 frames per second, and has both a microphone and speaker built in for recording and playback.
When you press the power button on the top of the C7000 you will be pleased with the time it takes to fire up coming in at under a single second. The feeling doesn't stop with just speed. You will find the controls to be where you want them to be located and the user friendly external controls will never leave you second guessing how a function is performed.
Find the way through the menu controls using the LCD is also kept simple, and advanced users will be delighted to have many appealing features such as Autofocus Target Selection and Red-Eye Fix so easily accessible.
Photos are stored using xD-Picture Cards, and Olympus have included a 32MB card in the box so you can get started taking photos right away. A USB 2.0 connection is used to transfer photos to your computer, and the cable for this is also included.
Also included in the box is a lithium ion rechargeable battery that powers the Olympus C7000 along with a compatible charger. You should be able to take approximately 200 with this camera between battery charges depending on the camera settings.
For a digital camera with so much to offer it is hard to find the shortcomings amongst all the excellent features. The only issue that stands out as a problem with the Olympus C7000 is the Autofocus - this sometimes has problems when used in low-lit conditions, although it works well in bright light, even if not as fast as similar cameras available for the same price.
One feature not yet cited in this review is the time-lapse setting that can set the camera to take photos automatically at 1 to 60-minute intervals. It is features like this along with the many others that make the Olympus C7000 a highly recommended option.
