Olympus CAMEDIA D 230

Advantages: light weight, sliding lens cover, ease of use
Disadvantages: low level zoom, no anti-shake function

I have owned this super little digi-cam for a few years now and have been extremely pleased with the pictures it takes. Because you can vary the quality of each picture - obviously the higher quality the pic the more memory it occupies - you can be sure that when you upload to the internet or to a photo program you won't end up with highly pixelated or blurry results. It is a lightweight little camera, extremely easy to use - all the functions work ...
...so that nothing is left to happenstance. It also, crucially, will double-check you if you are about to erase a single pic or the entire memory card. New cards are relatively inexpensive so it is probably helpful to upgrade from that installed in the camera so that you aren't constantly having to upload/review/delete pics taken.

...Olympus Camedia c-2 (D-230) I was given this digital camera as a present over 3 years when I started going on several camping holidays and became really interested in photography.

For those of you who don't know, no matter what megapixel your camera states it is, it's the CCD sensor that's important. ~ Olympus ~ Not knowing anything about cameras or camera brands I dived in and bought a second hand Olympus C-2 for £50. At first I was concerned as I knew nothing but wanted a true 2.1 megapixel sensor with a close up macro. Looking around I found that most cameras claimed to have close macro but infact were not that good. Now that I have owned it for a few years I am so glad I chose an Olympus. ~ The camera ~ As stated it is a 2.0 megapixel camera or a true 2.14 megapixel 1/2.7" CCD sensor. It is a little silver plastic camera with a sliding front cover... Read review
