Cons: Terrible for any kind of action and/or low-light environment. Manual that's included sucks.

Cons: no protective cover on LCD,questionable low-light capabilities,many settings

Pros: Small, packed with functions, full manual, 5 megapixels, well-built
Cons: Auto focus not flash-assisted, no manual focus; pricey, but you get your $ worth

Small, silver and cool looking. That sums up the outside, but does it do the job? Yes. Full manual camera, 5 megapixels, well lit and easy to see LCD preview screen. Takes fantastic photos. Owned for over a year, and still love it. For all the ...

Pros: Compact size, good looks, sharp images, easy to use and download
Cons: 32 MB memory card is not enough, get the 256 MB stick for around $100

I've had this camera for almost 18 months now, and I have been nothing but impressed by what this little pocket rocket can achieve. When I got it, you couldn't say 5 MP and under $500 in the same breath. This little fella was the first to break that ...

Pros: picture quality, compactness, easy to use

The Olympus C50 is my first digital camera. That being said, this review will be very basic and geared for those people who will use it for traveling, family pics, etc. I researched the internet for several months before deciding on the Olympus....

I rec'd five of these cameras for my Yearbook staff at school, so not only have I used this model extensively, I have had to train teenagers how to use them. My major complaints are these: 1) Don't be fooled by the name--the zoom ain't so great for a ...

Pros: Small camera, lightweight,excellent pictures.
Cons: None

This is my fourth Olympus digital camera. I had the D-490, C-3030, C-4040 & now this one and I've been happy with ALL of them. The overall quality has improved with each camera.

The first thing that surprised me was the size of the camera....

Cons: Poor sliding door rails, poor autofocus in low light

I am amateur photog. with 35 years Nikon experience and have had my own shows. This C-50 is now my main camera (until I can get the $5,000 for the Nikon Digital SLR). I have made 20"x30" enlargements (www.ofoto.com is best) from this C-50 and displayed ...

Cons: Grainy pictures No Audio Too much redness

Nice specifications, but the camera produces grainy pictures even at the highest quality setting. In Automatic mode, the camera produces images with too much redness when taken under incandescent lamps. When the camera is switched to incandescent mode,...
