Product Description
Designed in a sleek body, C-3030 Zoom blends the best of consumer convenience - like auto-everything ease-of-use. It offers a versatile built-in flash, and a powerful Olympus 3x optical lens plus 2.5x digital zoom with some of the most advanced features of any digital camera today - including a whopping 3.34 million pixel CCD. C-3030 Zoom also has an external flash TTL sync connection and adapters for optional lenses and filters - for full creative control that advanced photographers will enjoy. But while you'll appreciate the ability to shoot like a pro, you'll love the fact that C-3030 was designed with the consumer in mind. From its compact design to its comfortable, ergonomic grip and wide-view LCD screen, C-3030 has all the convenient features you want in a filmless digital camera - like USB, QuickTime movie recording mode with sound, new long-life batteries, and more - all without the big, blocky size of many other advanced digital cameras.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Olympus C-3030 zoom digital camera is an ultrahigh-resolution digital camera providing a 3.34-megapixel CCD for true-to-life colors and 2,048 x 1,536 pixel resolution. Its all-glass f/2.8 3x zoom with continuous 2.5x digital zoom brings you up to 7.5 times closer to the action. You have the choice of using either the traditionally styled real-image viewfinder or a 1.8-inch color TFT LCD monitor to frame your shots. The LCD is also handy for playback. Other technical features include a built-in 6-mode intelligent flash, a self-timer with remote, and a time/date imprinting function.

Using removable SmartMedia cards for its storage system, this camera offers 15 different image-resolution capture modes--including five uncompressed TIFF modes and up to 191 seconds of QuickTime movie capture with sound. Built-in USB connection and serial connection allow users downloading flexibility. The Olympus C-3030 is compatible with both Macintosh and PC platforms. It is the only camera in its class with a 32MB SDRAM buffer for rapid shooting at 3.3 frame-per-second burst mode up to 5 photos, and real-time shooting at 1 photo every second.

Even though the Olympus C-3030 is user friendly and can perform all camera functions automatically, you have a wide variety of user-selected and manual features to make your pictures as artistic as you'd like. The Olympus C-3030 offers special-effects modes including B&W, sepia, blackboard, and whiteboard. It also provides user-selectable ISO settings (100, 200, and 400), slow shutter speeds of up to 16 seconds in manual and 1/800 second to 1/2 second in auto, aperture settings of f/2.8 to f/11 through the entire zoom range in 1/3 step increments, and autoexposure bracketing for an array of exposures (plus or minus two stops in 1/3-step increments with three- or five-step bracketing.)

In response to one of digital camera users' chief complaints about previous models' power consumption, Olympus has designed the C-3030 zoom with improved battery life. While it will operate on 4 AA alkaline batteries for convenience, it lasts longer with the use of the CR-3V (LB-01) lithium batteries. It can also operate on an optional AC adapter.

In the box, you receive the C-3030 zoom digital camera, a 16 MB SmartMedia card, an RM-1 remote control, a software CD-ROM (including Adobe PhotoShop LE), a PC/Mac USB cable, an NTSC audio-video cable, two AA lithium CR-3V batteries, a user guide, a registration card, and a strap. Olympus backs the C-3030 with a one-year limited warranty.

5 out of 5 stars Great Camera.......2005-08-20

Full featured and easy to use, this camera takes fantastic images. As a provider of professional imaging services, we depend on our 3030s daily. They are still used after 4 years even though we have 8 megapixel DSLRs. The entire line of Olympus imaging products gets 5 stars from us.

4 out of 5 stars Great camera...but.......2003-02-16

I love everything about this camera except I must say to use a tripod. This camera is just awful if you have a shaky hand. You can't take any "real time" shots.

4 out of 5 stars What gives it a star less?.......2002-09-14

First, the bad things. Too much noise shooting under low light conditions. Also in low light conditions you'll find some green and white little points of light on the image.
The camera has an almost useless flash.
The good things: Video option is very useful. Output to see pictures and clips in TV's. Also you can use it if you want a larger view than the LCD display, just plug it to your TV, VCR etc. Great resolution for high quality printing.
If you have some experience in photography you'll find great all the manual options.

4 out of 5 stars easy to use, good quality.......2002-03-28

I spent a lot of time researching digital cameras on the internet and found this one to be a good value. It's fairly compact, and it's lived up to its reputation. The Camedia software makes downloading the photos pretty easy. I just leave the cable hooked up to my computer and attach the camera when I need to download. No need for docking stations. As a digital camera neophite, I'm pleased with my purchase. I leave the 35mm camera at home now.

5 out of 5 stars Who knew photography could be so fun?.......2002-03-11

I purchased this camera because I needed to be able to send Photos by E-Mail. I have been a 35mm photgrapher for 20 years, so I needed a camera that would allow me to be in control of my creations if I wanted to be. This camera suprised me with its excellence.
When all is said and done, all that you have is a lens and a subject, and, of course, the film plane. I was not disappointed by the range and versatility of the Olympus design. It even feels good in my hands!
I am very happy with this camera and hope to use it for many years to come.
