Olympus C-7000 Wide Zoom review

Imaging-Resource has a review of the Olympus C-7000 Wide Zoom, which is (or at least was when it was announced a couple of months ago) the world's smallest 7 megapixel digital camera with a 5x optical zoom lens. They actually think it's...

Olympus Camedia C-7000 Zoom

Perfectly exposed daylights shots with great dynamic range and color; 5X optical zoom; movable autofocus target zone; shoots in RAW, TIFF, and JPEG formats; useful panorama guides; extended exposure bracketing; in-camera slide show special effects;...

Flash shots underexposed; flimsy battery/memory card door and plastic tripod socket; no focusable diopter; no auxiliary flash capability; easy to cover sensor window with your finger

The C-7000 Zoom has the power of an enthusiast-class camera squeezed into a compact size. It's easy to operate for non-techies, but versatile and powerful enough for more demanding users.

Olympus C review: Olympus C

Solid build; long telephoto range; strong image quality; better, broad feature set.

Poorly placed pop-up flash; indecisive autofocus; limited continuous-shooting capabilities.

The Olympus C-5500 Sport Zoom, while not as adept at action photography as its name might lead you to expect, offers a lot of features and very good image quality for an affordable price.

Olympus C-7000 / C-70 Zoom Review

The C-7000 Zoom (known as the C-70 Zoom in Europe / SE Asia) is a new design direction for Olympus, looking back through their previous range the only similar camera could perhaps be the C-60 Zoom, although that only had a 3x optical zoom lens and had...

Good resolution Low noise, low noise reduction Above average automatic white balance Very-fast startup, let down by off to first shot time Good build quality, compact size Five times optical zoom, good telephoto reach Good range of image parameter...

Some purple fringing Somewhat disappointing battery life USB 1.1 transfer (slow) Very slow playback browsing Card formatting takes a long time Tendency for AF to hunt at telephoto / low light

The C-7000 is so unlike C-xxxx cameras of old it's almost worth Olympus using a new notation to distinguish it. It's considerably smaller and lighter, much thinner and yet no lighter on features. Despite its compact proportions it's probably the most...

C-7000 Zoom

If you're looking for a digital camera that features function before form--and a surplus of mega in the pixels--, the Olympus C-7000 Zoom is all that.

Olympus C-7000 Zoom

Top-notch image quality, easy to use, simple menu navigation

No flash shoe, no converter lenses, below average battery life

The Olympus C-7000 Zoom packs plenty of features into its small frame--and its image quality ranks among the best.
