Rating: Summary: Awsome Camera Review: I got this camera for free, but I would have paid full price for it anyway. The detail and vivid color in the pictures this camera takes is amazing. I let my teacher borrow the camera and she said she had never seen such a camera that takes such realistic pictures.
Rating: Summary: Excellent features for the price! Review: I have used several digital camera's in the past 2 years. Kodak DC210, Sony Mavica, Olympus 400, Olympus C2000 and the Olympus C2020 Digital Zoom Camera! The Olympus C2020 is the by far the BEST digital camera I have ever owned. The resolution is near the quality of 35mm print film and the features are many while being very intuitive in operation. The camera is not tiny, but is very small and easily carried around. Although the strap position causes it to hang at an unusual angle, it is still VERY portable! I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a very good digital camera.
Rating: Summary: A real world comparison Review: I have used three cameras lately: 1) Sony DSC-505 2) Olympus C-2020 3) Kodak DC280. All three have 2.1 Megapixel and good lenses. The Sony is the only one with no Zoom, but has the best picture quality and the best lowlight exposure. There is also the DSCF505 which has the huge 3xzoom lens, but it is too big to be nice. The Sony is also the smallest and the easiest to use. The operating system is similar to the DV camcorders. The second best is the Olympus C-2020 due to its zoom lens, the viewfinder and just weaker in low light conditions. The 130 pictures will fit onto a 64MB Smartmedia in HQ, a little more than with Sony. The Kodak I liked the least, mostly because of its klunky operating system and the poor colors (in comparison). I currently use the Olympus for professional work and the Sony due to its breast pocket size to snap great photos anywhere and anytime.
Rating: Summary: Yes! Review: i like this camera very much. It shoots excellent photos, is loaded with handy features and has outstanding battery life. it took me several months to take the leap into digital imaging and am glad i chose the 2020w. it was worth it. my only suggestion is to buy a larger smart media card immediately. the 4-meg card it comes with is way too small. get the 64-meg card & shoot away!
Rating: Summary: Incredible Review: I love this camera. It takes extremely beautiful photos with wonderful detail and excellent color fidelity. I have used an older Olympus digital camera and had difficulty navigating the UI, but the 2020 is very easy to use (with some minor exceptions). It makes for a great point-click-download camera. The software the Olympus includes with the camera is pretty good too, the basic Camedia software is easy to use and reasonably powerful and I'm having a great time with the Adobe PhotoDeluxe that was also included. Complaints are few...as noted in other reviews, the camera hangs at a strange angle and my (rather long) nose does hit the LCD leaving smudges. Make sure you remove the lens cap before turning the camera on, or the camera will do a strange little dance trying to push the lens through the cap. Aside from those nits, this is a very well designed camera with a quality feel to it. Just wait til you see the pictures it takes! Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Great Value - Features Galore Review: I searched the web extensively for digital camera reviews and comparisons trying to make the best possible purchase and value in a digital camera amidst a jungle of opportunities. The results? Well, I purchased the Olympus C2020 Digital Zoom Camera and from the time I received it have been very happy. Even with minimal manual reading, my 14yr. old son started taking great pictures right out of the box. It probably has many more features than the average individual will ever fully utilize, but they're there for almost every possible concievable photo opportunity. It's a digital camera whose results rival some of the best from conventional film cameras. I waited to buy a digital camera until the technology, which Olympus is now using, would produce a quality comparable, if not better than most 35mm SLR film cameras. I use this camera for both recreation and business. In business, I have a need to email product photo images overseas. If you're a point and shoot buff or looking for high tech manipulation, you'll find great satisfaction in the Olympus C2020. I really wanted something compact for travel and outdoor adventure, (a big attraction to this camera in contrast to others), but don't let it's nice small size fool you, it's cram packed with advanced technology. Under a mulititude of lighting situations the results were consistantly top quality. I would, however, recommend purchasing the software application, ThumbsPlus 4.0 for Windows by Cerious Software. It's the best of all the basic photo manipulation and archiving software I've found, a must for all the photos you'll end up taking. It's reasonably priced, easy to use, and full featured for even the most discriminating photo professional.
Rating: Summary: It's Wonderful! Review: I've now had the Olympus C2020 for three weeks, and I having a ball with it. The color is great, and the resolution is outstanding. I just added a SanDisk Imagemate, USB Version to manage the images from the camera. It's a nice addition. Just remove the SmartMedia card, insert into Imagemate, open and the images are there. Don't need to use the serial cable, or waste battery time. Didn't get the AC adapter, and I don't feel I need it. I would also recommend an additional 16MB or 32MB card for the camera. The 8MB that comes with the camera is too small for most of my needs. Battery life has been reasonable, but it does requires that I not use the LCD screen all the time. I just turn it on when needed, or to review my images. Love the quality of the images. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Rating: Summary: Yes! Review: The compact size, quaility of output and the flexibility of this camera are some of it's finest attributes. I was pleased and impressed with theis camera. The battery life is better than I had anticipated, mostly due to using the view finder and the Flash Path adaptor. On the down side, it takes a while to get comfortable with the menues and controls. Audio for the full motion video would be a welcome addition. A flash path adaptor is a very good addition as well as a 16 mb card. Overall I am very pleased.
