Olympus C-60 Zoom

A digital camera conundrum: Many advanced models have all the controls you could want but are so large that they require big, hefty straps so they can hang around your neck--and then you feel as if you're dragging a boat anchor. Most pocket-size...

Like most Olympus models, the C-60 comes with tons of paper documentation, separate booklets for everything from the battery charger to the XD-Picture Card. The basic manual has four languages, so it really doesn't cover much. To find information on...

Olympus Camedia C-60 Zoom

The C-60 produces very good images, but its slow speeds, occasional crashes, and confusing menus can make shooting them frustrating.

The quality of both still shots and movie clips was unexceptional. Many JPEG images lacked sharpness and colours, though accurate, were somewhat saturated. The exposure system was patchy and outdoor shots were rather contrasty. Flash performance was...

First Look: Olympus Camedia C-60Z

With every vendor vying to offer more megapixels, we're not overly surprised by Olympus' 6-megapixel entry in the ultracompact category. Find out what else is new in this preview.
