Olympus C-60 Zoom

Pros: Size, quality, flexibility, exceptional resolution, and ease of use.

Cons: Lack of color compensation mode, moderately slow lens and no zoom capability in movie mode.

The Bottom Line: The only choice currently available that combines the picture quality, ease of use, and diminutive size of this camera. Suitable for amateurs and containing enough features to please an enthusiast.

Review: First, let me say that the reader should consult the excellent review of Howard Creech, which captures the camera from a professional perspective and contains ancillary entertainment. I found no disagreements at all with his analysis and ratings. ...

Review: I received this camera for Christmas last year. I purchased my first Olympus camera in 1999 and because of was very pleased with it's performance, I didn't want to switch to any other brand. I had played with my brother's Kodak digital camera, but I ...

Pros: Takes great, clear pictures and videos. Very easy to use.

Cons: "Regular" AA batteries do not last over 1 hour in this camera.

Review: I think this camera was an excellent choice, and we are beyond happy with it. The pictures turn out crystal clear and full of color. It even takes short video clips! It is incredibly easy to install the software and transfer the pictures/videos to ...

Pros: Six megapixels, manual exposure options, excellent images

Cons: No dedicated color saturation adjustment, no manual WB setting, noisy ISO 400 images

The Bottom Line: This tiny 6 megapixel Digital Camera comes very close to having it all

Review: The new Olympus C60 (the replacement for the popular C50) is the smallest six megapixel digital camera and the highest resolution compact digital camera in the world. The camera makes maximum benefit of the size reduction possible with the xD-Picture ...

Pros: Excellent, sharp, crisp outdoor photos.

Cons: Right hand grip on camera body easily moves lens cover shell thereby shutting camera down.

Review: I bought a C60 Zoom on my photo dealer's recomendation and have been satisfied with the extremely fine outdoor results 8 x 11 borderless prints. Navigating the 'menu' can be very confusing. The slightest pressure on the lens protecting shell when ...

Pros: good value, 6 megapixels, good software

Cons: quite large and heavy, few editing features

Review: This camera is one great camera. You get plenty of good features for an OK price. You get 6 megapixels which means excellent quality images. You also get 3x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom which is fine for a camera in this price range. The software ...

Pros: Fairly compact, nice photo quality indoors & out.

Cons: Camera usage not as intuitive as previous models; included photo software could be better

The Bottom Line: Not exactly a "beginner" camera (cheaper, easier-to-use ones are available) and hardly a pro's choice. Shop around, try other cameras before this Olympus model.

Review: I loved the Olympus digital that I had last summer, the 4-megapixel C-460 I think it was, that preceded this (6 megapixel) C-60. So I leapt at the chance to trade in my "old" camera on this newer model at my local camera shop. And you might be happy ...

Pros: inexpensive for the features

Cons: Will break quickly, consider it a disposable camera

Review: Be warned that the camera will break. On our unit the lens stopped retracting into the case, was sent away for repair under warranty, now six months later the same problem and the camera is not under warranty. Was offered a trade in, but the costs are ...

Pros: good battery time, cheap price, provide uncompressed tiff image format

Cons: worst digital zoom function, bad macro mode and supermacro mode function

Review: I bought this camera after I spend nearly a month on the internet to compare the function and price of different digital cameras and after i read the reviews from the users. I thought i made a perfect choice. I have to say I could not be more ...
