Pros: 10X zoom , feature-laden
Cons: none

Pros: Image stabilization. 10x zoom eliminates penalty of 2.1 megapixels.
Cons: Only uses Smart Media and this Camera model is getting hard to find.
Summary: I spent a lot of time researching my camera purchase and was hesitant to buy a unit that was already "old" by today's standards. However, the multitude of reviews you see for this camera are right, it is a great camera.

Pros: Easy to use; lots of bells/whistles
Cons: Heavy, bulky
Summary: It IS discontinued. CompUSA has been dumping them at $499. Saw it at Sams recently for less I believe. So, not many left on market, if you see one. SNAP IT UP! True, it might not be a BEGINNERS model, but if you have a background w/ Manual or Semi-Auto ... read more

Pros: Zoom, Zoom, Zoom
Cons: Pretty bulky if you want a travel camera
Summary: First, I absolutely LOVE to do research on the web prior to making a purchase, so you can bet I learned all about this camera before buying it. I have to say, the 10x optical zoom, the 2.5 digital zoom and the image stabilizer pretty much sold me on the ... read more

Pros: Versatile, adaptive, and more than adequate
Cons: Fragile plastic posts serve as insert hinges on battery compartment & media
Summary: The Olympus C-2100 Ultra Zoom was NOT my first choice when I went to the store. I listened to the sales pitch with half a heart as I've been around sales fever all my life. But the very first picture I printed [I have laser color printer] 8 X 10 I nearly ... read more

Pros: Easy use, long zoom lens, great quality pictures
Cons: A few minor tradeoffs
Summary: After a lifetime of shooting pictures on film, I bought this camera. My main reasons were its long 10x zoom (27x digital) and the fact that it feels like a real camera. Since then, I have been amazed at what the camera can do. It's easy to simply point ... read more

Pros: Excellent quality photos; outstanding zoom lens; understandable controls and operation.
Cons: High battery consumption.
Summary: This is my first digital camera. I read and re-read every evaluation I could find in an effort to get the most for my money, and I'm convinced that I did it. I love the general overall, "Feel" of the camera. I've used 35mm SLR cameras for many years ... read more

Pros: Great pictures, pretty good storage media.
Cons: Placement of a couple knobs could be better.
Summary: I've had this camera for a year or maybe a little less. I've gotten TONS of great shots with it.
Obviously the 8 mg smartmedia that comes with it is useless. I normally have a 64 mg stick in, which works great (approx. 120 pictures). I have ... read more

Pros: 10x Optical Zoom, Image Stabilization, Great Controls
Cons: 8MB memory too small and lens cap strap wasn't include
Summary: I just love this camera so much. It takes great pictures in it's automatic mode, plus gives you the flexibility to have complete (manual) control over everything. I don't even know what else to say, other than this camera is a must for anyone who wants ... read more

Pros: Relatively compact compared to an SLR with similar zoom features
Cons: Auto white balance is off much of the time when shooting indoors. Lame software program.
Summary: The big draw for me to this particular camera was the zoom capability. It is one of the fewer cameras on the market with a 10X OPTICAL zoom. I owned a Canon EOS ELAN II with a 28-70 and a 70-210 zoom lenses. My new Olympus replaced the Canon.

Pros: 10x zoom, image stabilizer, accurate colors, sharp lens
Cons: big
Summary: This is the perfect camera in every way except one. However, I have found from my extensive use of digital cameras, that there is not one camera that is suitable for everyone. In my case, the c-2100 is almost perfect.

Pros: Awesome 10x zoom, image stabilizer, 2.1Mega Pixels, good flash, quicktime movies.
Cons: Includes only 8Mb card. Too many features.
Summary: This camera is amazing. Especially because it's only a 2.1 mega-pixel camera. But with the 10x zoom, you realize that being able to use all of the 2.1 Mega pixels by correct zoom framing still leads to great pictures. The C-2100 has lots of features ... read more

Pros: Long zoom lens, Great features, great photos, Sturdy and well built
Cons: Very noisy at ISO 400, purple edges at full telephoto, not much more...
Summary: This is my 4th digital camera. I bought it primarily because of the large telephoto zoom lens and because of the large array of manual features. The Olympus name helped too...
