Olympus Camedia C-5050 Zoom Digital Camera
Top Reviews
Camedia olympus C5050 Zoom "compact" digital camera.
11 of 12 people found this review helpful.
Bought the camera because it has full programmed and manual controls.
Also 5megapixel camera and fast 1.8 lens. It also has the ability to use three different storage cards although it can only use two cards at a time. Handy if you fill one up you just switch to the other! Strong flash which has a power reduction facility.Can also take v. good close up pictures.
has also 3x OPTICAL Zoom. Do not buy a digital camera with ONLY digital zoom as it only enlarges a section of a picture and will not be good quality.
This is a very good all round camera giving good quality photographs up to poster size but top quality to say A4.
A fuller more technical view can be got from www.steves-digicams.com
The only bad thing I can say about this is the shutter delay between pressing the button and taking the next picture ESPECIALLY if shooting raw/tiff.
After saying all this the camera is about 3 years old.OLD by todays standards.However if you can buy this on E-Bay or anywhere else with original kit supplied,charger, remote, batteries and software for around £100/125 in good condition,as I did, you will get a bargain, as this camera was selling at nearly £600.00 3/4 years ago.
An ideal camera for a beginner wishing to learn or even a film camera enthusiast as an introduction to digital SLR cameras.

A Classic !Review created: 03/06/08

I bought this camera new and still think it's a cracker. I have a smaller, newer Cannon which is OK but this one takes the best pictures. Yes the menus are a bit complicated but just take the time to memorise them then all is well. I think it's a great fit between lugging an SLR about(cannot be bothered) and a sub-compact. A great camera, in fact a classic !

This camera has been around for a couple of years. I already own one for taking underwater photo's. I bought a second one as a back up as this camera takes brilliant photo's whith the right settings. I feel this half the problem is people tend to upgrade rather than stick with what they have and really learn how to use it.
A 10 megapix SLR is totally useless if all you know how to do is point and shoot.

An Olympus digital classic1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I sold my first C5050 to buy another camera. Nine months later I just had to have another C5050 to keep the new one company! I just love it - even though it's only 5Mp the results are superb. It can be fully automatic but as I've been telling cameras what to do for more than forty years the 5050's optional manual settings allow me to keep right on doing it. The camera feels right in my hands and looks, well, "professional". It could do with more zoom but if you want a wider angle buy an ugly 5060; if you want more length look at a c7xx. The 5050 can use wide and long adapters but they're too unwieldy for everyday use in my opinion. Further pluses are twin switchable card ports - CF and XD - and AA batteries you can buy at any corner shop. The external flash capability is something Olympus seem to think we no longer need as none of the later equivalent models have it - that's the number one reason my other, later, csmera isn't an Olympus. The 5050 is repairable should it need it and so far parts are still available. This is definitely a classic Olympus up there with the OM series!

I originally had an Olymous C-4000Z and was very pleased with that, so when I dropped it and needed to buy a new one I settled upon this as an upgrade - and i am very glad I did! Even in P mode picture quality has gone up drastically from my 4000, and I was already more than impressed with that! The only downside I can find with this camera is there are a lot of buttons to push, it'll take me a while to get used to where everything is. It offers a whole host of features, and I can quite happily state that the remark on the box of 'Professional' is more than apt to describe this camera. Everything on it is of the highest quality - I don't think there is another 5Mp compact that even comes close to this camera in performance or features, although I dare say there are more user friendly ones out there.
All in All, fantastic!
