Rating: Summary: Zoom, quality is impressive, VIVID pictures, WOW ! Review: Had to decide how many MegaPixel's I needed first, and most printers today can not even begin to take advantage of the 4 and 5 megapixel cameras unless you are planning on printing a lot of pictures larger than 8X10. So after deciding on a 2 or 3 MP camera, I needed lots of zoom for sporting events, and image stabilization cause I'm not always steady. This camera delivered in all areas I needed, and I could not be happier with the qaulity of my pics. I shoot in SHQ mode, stay away from shooting uncompressed TIFF's. Pics are so real, WOW!
Rating: Summary: C2100: A great all purpose camera Review: I've had my 2100 for almost a year now and still love it. The only suggestions I could make to improve it would be a faster lens (Currently F2.8-F3.5), higher resolution (Now 2.1 M) and better battery life. It comes with rechargable batteries but I find that buying Lithium AA's or CRV3 (Expensive but much longer life) means I rarely worry about battery power. I also recommend the 128M smart-media card. I get 257 high res pictures before I have to upload. The ability to shoot manually (manual focus, Aperture and Speed) are great for teaching new photographers. (I'm teaching my 9 year old)
Rating: Summary: Amazing Review: This is my second Olympus camera. My first I paid over [dollar amount] for a few years ago.It was the D600l and was a great camera. I bought the Ultra Zoom for close up pictures of animals. I keep amazing my friends with pictures of animals with the Ultra Zoom and for the price its a real bargain for what you get. You even get a cam corder feature that is great. I have used it in various conditions and its performed in every situation. And believe me I take allot of pictures and the quality is great.
Rating: Summary: Unique digicam in a crowded market. Review: There lots of digital cameras on the market, many very similar in features and many with high prices. The 2100 'UZI' stands out amongst them. No it doesn't have the biggest number in megapixels, but it DOES have a true 10X OPTICAL zoom, and add to that image stabilization to improve image sharpness of telephoto handheld shots, along with many, many adjustment features including an ELECTRONIC viewfinder that show the same TTL image and setting data as the large LCD display and you have a wonderful tool for digital photography. I enjoy my 4mp Canon G2, but the 3X zoom is a bit lacking in many settings outside the home. The Olympus 2100 is much more able to get the picture when you are outside and need to get close to the action but can't physically move closer. Try it, you will like it.
Rating: Summary: Great Pictures but not reliable Review: I have had this camera for about nine months, and love the zoom and it takes great pictures. About 2 weeks ago after downloading about 200 pictures to the computer from a 128 meg card, the camera lost power and wouldn't power back up. I had to send it in for repairs, which I found to be a flat rate repair of a high price if your warranty has expired. While researching online to try to find what had happened I also found that many others had the same problem, and it appears to be something that Olympus shoud recall and fix. It appears that if the batteries get low, the power circut board burns out! Because of this problem I would tell everyone to beware of this camera, snd it appears that other Olympus models have this same problem. I have purchased a card reader so as not to have the batteries get low when downloading, and hope this will solve the problem. If it breaks again, I will just throw this camera away as the cost of repair is too high.
Rating: Summary: Great features, very poor images Review: I have owned, and returned 2 of these cameras, and I prefer Olympus. The features, from 10X OPTICAL zoom, to noise reduction for open shutter exposures, are terrific. Two bad the images recorded are unuseable.
Rating: Summary: Wow Review: The title says is all I'm too busy taking great pictures to elaborate.
Rating: Summary: Great all around camera! Review: ... It takes excellent pictures altough if you're looking for speed this camera isn't it. If you're looking for great pictures with an awesome zoom this camera is it! Great for the beginner in digital photography like me!
Rating: Summary: Buy this camera Review: I have been an SLR photographer for about 20 years and a digital photographer for about 3 years. This camera gets you the best of both worlds. The lens is fantastic, the ease of use is a joy, and the full range of features boggles my mind. I was able to get a good deal right now at compusa and the price difference paid for the extra batteries, 128 Mb card and a card reader. These are the three accessories that you must get, in my opinion, as well as a UV filter and a bag. Do yourself a favor and quit shopping around. Buy this camera now.
Rating: Summary: Excellent for point and shoot or advanced photographers Review: I've owned the c-2100 for 6 months and am very pleased with my purchase. For this price point, you're looking at buying a 3 megapixel camera with some features or a camera like the c-2100 with all of the features you could need. The true optical zoom is awesome and I've also had good results with the digital zoom. I've used it indoors, outdoors, on manual and automatic settings and have been pleased every time. The only two negative things I can say are that the size of the camera is larger than the average digital camera and the flash refresh is slower than I am used to with a traditional SLR.
