    Olympus C-60

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 22, 2004 | 20 out of 21 found this Olympus CAMEDIA C-60 Zoom review helpful

    Pros: Build and Picture Quality, Compact

    Cons: Takes a 30 sec to get ready for first picture with a large video card.

    I have owned this camera for about 3 months now. I am still learning how to get the most out of this camera but I can say the pictures it produces are amazing. Although it shows that it can take macro pictures I have a hard time on getting it to fo...cus on anything less then 1 ft. Other then that It is a great camera. I highly recommend it. Read more Less

    Great pics but a bit complicated!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 22, 2004 | 8 out of 8 found this Olympus CAMEDIA C-60 Zoom review helpful

    Pros: Great pics for large prints

    Cons: Too many features, a bit complex

    I bought this camera and used it for 4 months, close up option - didn't figure it out, and also for anything else I had to go back and look up at the little booklet that came along. I'll say it's great camera for large prints but a bit c...omplex since it has too many other features. I returned it and getting something a bit simple, maybe with less megapixels. Read more Less

    Excellent Feature-Packed Digicam

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 18, 2004 | 8 out of 9 found this Olympus CAMEDIA C-60 Zoom review helpful

    Pros: Loaded with features, Excellent image resolution, Smaller and cheaper than an SLR

    Cons: Manual comes on a CD

    This is a great camera for people who enjoy photography but may not want to spend the big bucks on an SLR package, but still want more control over their images than the basic point-and-clickers allow.The camera has modes that allow you to set the ap...erature and shutter speed manually, and there is some control over the focus mechanism (including a macro mode). There are tons of other great features too that you don't find in basic digicams--the ability to raise or lower the flash intensity, manually effect the white balance, bracket-shooting at different exposure levels, record sound clips with pictures, even record movies. I'm sure there are more features I haven't discovered yet.That leads to the major drawback with the camera--no manual! The manual on the CD hardly helps when I'm trying to figure out how to take a picture during my travels. So many of the features will go unnoticed unless you make it a point to read the manual and memorize the features! Olympus should make it easier on its customers.The camera is also a bit larger and heavier than more basic point-and-clicks, but thats the price you pay for the great features and image quality. Its still way smaller and more compact than an SLR camera.Overall, an excellent buy for photographers. Read more Less

    feature packed

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 11, 2004 | 5 out of 6 found this Olympus CAMEDIA C-60 Zoom review helpful

    Pros: a lotta bang

    Cons: as with most digitals- you need to buy more stuff

    it's a solid working camera. as a real estate broker I usually leave the camera in my briefcase and average over 100 photos a week.Size compact- i found other comparable models that fit well in a pocket & same price range difficult to steady when... shooting;, solid lens protection, high 6.1MP, and the remote control the "sun-roof feature I was looking for (once you have it you don't want to do without). Not bad for $429.99 @ costco.Cons- are really standard to all digital cameras that I've found. Plan on investing another $150- for a 256MB card (i opted for the 512mb which holds about 350 pics), case (so you don't scratch the viewer, & extra battery; a mini tripod is another great investment especially for use with the remote, about $20-. one's pays a bit more for the digital video that will probably not be used if you own some other camcorder- but better to have than have not. This should get you thru to the next major evolution of technology. Read more Less

    What's wrong with the battery life?

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 19, 2005 | 4 out of 5 found this Olympus CAMEDIA C-60 Zoom review helpful

    Pros: Can't think of any.

    Cons: Poor battery life.

    I have had the C-60 for roughly 3 months but did not use it till this past week. At the time of purchase, via the net, I also bought an extra battery, giving me one Olympus and one generic battery, and a 512 XD card -- which would have given me ampl...e frames with normal battery lives. Both batteries were fully charged when I began taking pictures.The Olympus battery lasted through 12 frames?? I inserted the generic...it lasted 13 frames. What gives, surely this camery would not have the great user ratings if everyone had the same experience? Read more Less

    Great

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 20, 2005 | 2 out of 2 found this Olympus CAMEDIA C-60 Zoom review helpful

    Pros: Its all good

    Cons: Getting to know the camera

    For the money it is a great camera. You do need a better memory card like 256 or 512.

    Amazing little gem of a camera!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 26, 2005 | 2 out of 2 found this Olympus CAMEDIA C-60 Zoom review helpful

    Pros: packed with features

    Cons: takes time to master all the features

    I own several cameras, including a Nikon D-100, but was looking for something that I could carry in my pocket for casual shooting. This camera knocked my socks off! All-metal body, clamshell cover that protects the lens, many manual and automatic sho...oting options, and an astounding 6.1 mg. in a palm-sized package. I particularly love the aperture-priority, shutter-priority, and manual settings, along with white balance, over- and underexposure, and flash intensity adjustments. Also, the lag time between pressing the shutter and taking the picture, which always drove me crazy on other point-and-shoots, is fairly fast on this one. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time, too. I can usually shoot a 64 mg. card or two before having to recharge. Read more Less

    At 70mph in my truck

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 26, 2005 | 2 out of 2 found this Olympus CAMEDIA C-60 Zoom review helpful

    Pros: Great for moving "still photo's

    Cons: many, many uses and gadgets to use and understand

    I have owned my camera since December and I love it, I was driving down a highway at 70mph and wanted to take a picture of a beautiful seaside shot and low and behold it was a great still image of this seaside ocean wave. Love it and highly recommen...d buying if you have the patience to learn it... Read more Less

    worst yet

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 30, 2005 | 1 out of 1 found this Olympus CAMEDIA C-60 Zoom review helpful

    Pros: it is a camera

    Cons: cheap MFer

    paid $450 for it new, it worked fine for about a few months, and then the front lens slide cover broken off for no apparent reason (never dropped or mishandled). The slide cover enables the on/off switch for the camera without it, the camera is worth...less. Could not be fix for less than $550 from Olympus. Geek squad said $ 250-300. As for the other features of it, menu is difficult to use, hard type to sync with new PC, and learn a whole new icon language - this one is BAD. STAY AWAY from. Read more Less
