Summary: Portrait Shooting
Review: I have owned an Olympus digital C2100UZ for about 18 months. It is without a doubt the best camera I have ever used. It has traveled with me to many parts of the world. The best feature is the 10X optical zoom. I like taking photos of poeple and especially portrait photos. With the above camera it is possible for me to stand accross a room and take many portrait photos. Recently in Southern Africa I was taking portrait photos of lions and other wild animals. It is a great all-around camera and does everything an amature photographer, like me, can expect.

Summary: a great camera
Review: My first digital camera and i love it. Everything worked immediately. Directions good and completely compatible with my iMac. Zoom is amazing and pictures are extremely sharp. Great 8x10 prints. I also bought the 128 media card and I can take 200 or so pictures. I use rechargeable batteries and always have an extra charged set ready.

Summary: Perfect for my needs and still an excellent camera.
Review: What sparked my interest in this camera is it's 10x optical zoom with image stabilization, and it's ability to take quicktime movies with audio. I did not find another camera that came close to providing the same features. The newer Olympus C-720 is close, but doesn't have image stablilization or audio with quicktimes. Having used a D600L for a couple years I knew that Olympus image quality was excellent. I took the C-2100 with us on your honeymoon to Aruba, and the camera performed flawlessly. I shot about 200MB of pictures and movies. I used a 128MB SmartMedia card and 64MB card. The 10x optical zoom with image stablization was incredible! Try keeping a steady hand when you zoom in close without stabilization. The camera itself is bulky compared to most of the others, but if you want true optical zoom you need the longer lense. Battery life is typically short. I kept 4 sets of battery on hand and had to replace them 3 times during the trip. The included charger quickly recharges NiMH batteries. The camera uses a CCD viewfinder, which is better than the optical viewfinder on my old D600L. The only drawback is the CCD viewfinder doesn't work too well in low light. You might think that 2.1 MegaPixels is pretty low by today's standards, but I think that unless you're a professional photographer, 2.1MP is plenty for producing 4x6, 5x7, even 8x10 prints. The quicktime movie quality is ok, but nothing near the quality of a true video camera. It's adequate for shooting short movies which is all I wanted. The built in microphone picks up noise from the camera auto focus and when you use the zoom. There's the option of connecting an external microphone. You can also record audio for each photo. The camera can be as simple or as detailed to use as you want it. There's an automatic point-and-shoot setting which most people will use. You can also play with a lot of manual settings if you're into photography. I don't connect the camera to my PC USB port, though you have the option. Instead I bought an inexpensive SmartMedia USB drive. You can connect the camera to your TV and display images or movies that way. There's also a remote control.
It's too bad Olympus is discontinuing this model because it's an excellent camera. I bought a refurbished one ...and it came with a 90 day warranty. ...a deal in my opinion for a camera with this many features.

Summary: Best digital I've owned yet
Review: This replaced a Sony Cybershot, an Agfa ePhoto, and a Panasonic Superdisk camera. The best camera I've owned yet with it's optical zoom. The memory door can be a little hard to open, so I have to carry a quarter with me, but with a 128 Mb card that's not often.

Summary: The BEST 2.1 mp camera on the market !
Review: Whether you are a beginner or an expert it is tough to beat the ease of use and the quality of this camera. I've owned mine for a little over a year and it still impresses me. Yes, the camera is bulky as others have mentioned and yes, the body is plastic (could you imagine the weight if it had a metal body?) but everyone that sees the camera falls in love....especially when they see the photo that it has just taken. I have photos posted on pcphotoreview.com for anyone that wants to see what the camera can do.

Summary: My second review of this camera!
Review: I have had the C2100 for about a year and a half now. I loved it when I first got it and still love it today. I have taken THOUSANDS of pictures and carried it for thousands of miles under all kinds of conditions including being dropped twice. I have had exactly zero problems! A solid five and a half stars!!

Summary: Wonderful Camera
Review: After spending nearly a month going through reviews of digital cameras and comparing models both online and in stores, I settled on the Olympus C-2100. This is a superb digital camera in every way. If you are a beginner and want the ease of just point and shoot, you can have it with this camera. Or, if you are more of a pro photographer and want the ability to adjust settings, you can have it too. Olympus is known for excellent quality and they haven't failed with the 2100!

Summary: Olympus C-2100 2MP Digital Camera w/ 10x Optical Zoom
Review: I have had my C-2100 for about a year and love it. The 2.0M pixel is good for almost any work. You can operate it manually but you don't have to because it handles almost any situation in the auto exposure mode. The 10X telephoto is the feature that clinched the sale for me. You can bring those long shots in close and use it for framing subjects. Oddly, the telephoto lens is the only negative I have with this camera. It makes the camera hard to conceal if you don't want to look like a tourist. I picked up a Fuji 2600 for those situations. But for really serious pics, I take the C2100.

Summary: easy to handle
Review: I would strongly agree with the others here who rave about this camera. It's a great camera. I just wanted to add one more thing. Some cameras are clumsy to work with. A half-hour of shooting and you feel like you are dragging around a ball and chain. I was very surprised to find this a very comfortable camera to hold even after an extended time.

Summary: A Fantastic Digital Camera
Review: My criteria for a digital camera: macro capability, big zoom lens, excellent print quality at 4x6 (I have never blown up a vacation photo in my life) and ease of use. What I got with this camera was everything on my wish list and more. I spent days researching digital cameras and decided I needed more lens than megapixels. How many of you have enlarged your photos past 8 x 10? I was ready to purchase a 5 megapixel camera when I realized I didn't need it. The photo quality is amazing and I have taken some shots in horrible conditions to push it. This camera is very light but feels solid. It communicates seamlessly with my Mac for downloads and the controls are designed well and are easy to navigate. The people at Olympus obviously know what they're doing. Good job!
