Olympus Camedia C-3020 Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: Outstanding white balance, contrast adjustment, and noise reduction options, reasonable cost, and excellent images
Cons: Average macro mode and slow start-up

For the past three months I have been receiving regular email requests for information about the new Olympus Camedia C3020. The C3020 is the updated version of the very popular Olympus Camedia C3000 digital camera. I have been heartily recommending the...

Pros: Excellent photos! Plus an easy to use camera!
Cons: SmartMedia card is not large enough!

The Olympus C-3020 Zoom is the same camera as their Olympus Camedia C-3000 Zoom Digital Camera with some added features. This is the camera that I was told would replace the C-3000. The C-3000 is an excellent camera, I...

Pros: Great photo quality, feature - full, upgradeable, ergonomic, intuitive, night, movie, and macro modes
Cons: Terrible battery life, no sound on movies, bulky

The official camera of the official team photographers for the Milwaukee Brewers . . . maybe. Officially.

So there I was, sitting anxiously in my bedroom this past June; my departure rising ominously over the horizon of time, and I as...

Pros: 3.3mp, Lots of options, Olympus brand, Nice appearance
Cons: No sound with movies, only 16mb card, No remote, No video output

Hello again, I recently wrote an article on the C-3000zoom camera which you could say is a cousin to the C-3020. I have owned the camera for over 2 years and it is a good quality camera. I do not own the C-3020 but it is basically the same camera ...

Pros: Great quality photos, easy to use
Cons: Slightly clumsy

I purchased the Olympus C-3020 Zoom as a replacement for my Olympus C-200 Zoom (that's D-510 for all you non-European guys) because of the severe quality problems I experienced with it (see my review).

It is quite obvious that the C-3020 plays...

Pros: Allows a variety of manual controls
Cons: Inferior optical quality, rather cumbersome to use

Let me blunt about this product upfront: it was a grave disappointment. I know I’m in the minority here, and given the excellent reviews of this product elsewhere it is possible that the particular unit I bought had some problem that affected its...

Pros: Almost all the features of a SLR in a fairly small package
Cons: Somewhat slow auto-focusing and recharge times

I won't bore you all with the manufacturer's specifications of the camera since you can get this from previous reviews or online from Olympus. I'll just give you the facts (as I see it of course).

The price of the camera has fallen over $100...

Pros: Simple to use, has complex features, nice strap.
Cons: Doesn't record sound in movie mode, cheap lens cap.

I'd say I've owned this for about 2 years and I take photos here and there with the point and shoot option. This camera is pretty easy to use if you just want to point and shoot. It's also pretty powerful, offering 3.2 megapixels, and it's got a lot ...

Pros: Easy to use, takes great pictures, lots of options.
Cons: Lens cap isn't so stable. Try not to drop it!!

I received this camera as a gift for my last birthday from my boyfriend. After many problems with the store we were ordering from (which is a whole other story, completely unrelated to this camera), I finally had my gift.

Whoa! I've never...

Pros: Easy to use, "drag and drop" pics to PC
Cons: Pricier than other options

You can specs for the C-3020 anywhere, so I won't bother listing them here. I picked up this camera at my local camera shop. While it was one of the priciest models they had at $499, the pic quality and options are great, and the 16M memory card they...

Pros: Good image quality, easy point and shoot mode, multiple options.
Cons: Lens cap design is poor, complicated menus.

This is my first digital camera and I am quite pleased with it. My primary use is for family snapshots. The picture quality is excellent, the images are sharp, have very good contrast and color intensity. When used in the default point and shoot mode,...

Pros: Cost, Quality Pictures, Ease of Use
Cons: Slow to open and close

We were expecting our first child, and my family all lives in the mid-west, and I live in Oregon. Family is important to me, and I wanted to leverage the world wide web to keep my family up to date on Olivia Paige's growth.

I talked my wife...

Pros: Great Camera and Lens designed by famed Olympus Camera Designer Maitani
Cons: None so far

Well I researched and researched for two months looking at $500 digital cameras and this one came out on top.

I was also looking at Minolta's S404 but this one in my opinion has a better lens. The pictures are so lifelike that they don't even...

Pros: Picture quality
Cons: battery life, case, no movie sound

I bought this camera when it first came out, and after having only used it for 2 days, I burned through 2 sets of Duracell batteries. The lense cap was a cheap piece of garbage. The form factor is uncomfortable to hold. The movie mode has no sound?!...

Pros: Simple for the novice, comfortable, sharp pictures, quick and durable!
Cons: Slow to start, 3X optical zoom a little slow

The 3X Optical Zoom on the Olympus C-3020 Digital Camera, along with its comfort was a perfect combination. New to the digital camera craze there were too many choices. The more I researched the more confused and frustrated I became. I over heard a clerk...
