Summary: I LOVE THIS CAMERA!
Review: I entered digital photography very reluctantly, and only when I found the C-211 that would also make prints. The combination of the instant gratification of Polaroid and the fine digital quality of Olympus have made me one happy camper!

Summary: I love this camera!!
Review: I have used many digital cameras--mostly high end products. I have never been able to achieve the color clarity as well as the detail that this camera can produce--even in ambient lighting situations that are not so camera-friendly. I have uploaded pics to my pc as well as taken the smartcard to the camera shop to have them printed out. It was really easy and took only a minute for either function. At the camera shop, I selected the views that I wanted and had them printed to CD since I knew their equipment was color calibrated far better than mine! (you can tell I'm obsessive about color--for an amateur). The quality of the print was so excellent that my photographer husband thought that it was taken with a 35 mm. Ya' gotta' love it. I also used the polaroid print function and found the color to be excellent in that respect as well. The nice big preview screen on the back is great and can also be used for framing shots.
Since I prefer a "sturdy" camera, the relative bulk of this camera doesn't bother me a bit! The super light cameras tend to "fly away" on me, and I'm never sure that what I wanted was what I shot.(Guess I'm getting old!) Very nice camera with excellent optics. I sold my other fancy digital camera to buy this one...Good move on my part!!!

Review: I own one of these cameras and have to say it takes wonderful pic's.some time the polaroid will miss and not put out a picture which is aggravating but the camera it self does every thing it says it will. I print pictures from it on a lexmark stand alone printer from the chip and they look great . I wish they would have kept the polaroid and made it not so big and bulky. it also is hard on batteries if you use the polaroid alot . J gillespie

Summary: Olympus C-211 - A Fun Camera
Review: I think this camera is wonderful. I have not problems with it yet. The ease of printing a photo right then and there is what gets me! Although the film can be expensive, I feel it is well worth it. The polaroid prints look great. The only thing that irks me about it is its size. I don't mind now since I've gotten used to it, but if they could have made it a little smaller they should have. I don't regret buying it. It's a lot of fun!

Summary: More fun than a barrel of monkeys!
Review: Instant gratification is what I live for. With this camera not only can I edit and veiw my pictures right away I can print them too. Being able to Print on sight lets me take pictures at party's for my friends. Then I can give them a copy on the spot so they can remember the event. This camera is fun and quality of pictures is very decent.

Summary: C-211 good buy if discounted
Review: It is somewhat bulky. However, once I began using it, I realized how flexible it is. You capture pictures, then you can download them, or print them immediately. The camera also has Optical zoom which is the best zoom type to have (digital zoom is not useful). The instant photo capability means you can instantly print a picture, erase the memory, and then take more pictures. I began operating it immediately without reading the manual. That's how easy it is to use!!

Summary: OVERALL
Review: It's in my opinion a practical camera for work and most of all the family for so many reasons. #1 It makes mini (20 sec) movies small enough to email grandma, #2 It's easy to make prints for others at parties and other family functions and #3 it's just easy to use. I did think the size of the camera was bulky but you do get use to it. As far as the battery issue, most digital cameras are known for extreme battery usage but for the price they should have thrown in a charger or AC cord.
OVERALL IT'S A 9

Summary: Big and bulky, but still cool
Review: No way around it, this camera is big - about the size of a digital video camera. But the ability to print the Polaroids is really compelling for fun family events and such. You can print a picture of your kids and their friends right there in the park rather than waiting until you are back at your PC.
The c211 is very full featured, and yet you can pick it up and take good pictures right away. Auto-focus (not fixed). Optical and digital zoom.

Summary: almost two much
Review: One thing for sure this camera does everything they say it will
and more. The only problem I have with it. Is that is bulky and a little awkward and sometimes the polaroid feature will not eject
a photo. For a buisness camera its nice for a family camera it needs a little work one other draw back if you use the polaroid feature alot make sure you have lots of batteries because it is very hard on them. Rechargable one's are the only way to go. It also will take upto 20seconds of video, the digital pic's are very clear and print out on a good photo printer as good as any film camera. J gillespie
