Summary: Great Camera
Review: I love my camera. I started with a fugi camera and it was fine but a battery hog. If you get the right accessories to go with this camera, you can't go wrong.

Summary: Great Camera, Hate the Lens Cap
Review: I've had this camera for about a week now. It takes great pictures and is very easy to use - even the menus which you will get familiar with upon regular use. Get an extra Smartmedia card because they only give you an 8mb card with the camera. Also, get a battery recharger (Rayovac's 1-hour recharger works great with their 1600NiMH batteries and for me, they have charged in less than an hour!). The reason I gave this great camera four-stars is because of the lens cap. If you forget to remove the lens-cap when you turn the camera on, you will hear an ugly noise that reminds you to take it off and you HAVE TO remove the lens cap. Also, the lens cap is not attached to the camera itself upon removal so you run the risk of losing it (I have misplaced mine about three times now. Luckily I have found it each time!). Aside from the lens cap issue, I think this is a fantastic camera to welcome an individual to the "filmless" world. I have always wanted to take-up photography as a hobby (I am a beginner) but the cost of film and development always stopped me. With this cool camera (plus an HP Photosmart 1215 printer which I have) I have broken that barrier. Enjoy!

Summary: GREAT Camera ... GREAT Price
Review: I've been taking pictures for over 20 years... 35mm, APS, and now the Olympus C-3000 represents my first foray into digital photography. Let me tell you... I'm impressed. Don't let the compact exterior fool you. This tiny package has many features packed inside. The quality (on screen and printed) is superb! I recommend the C-3000 without hesitation.

Summary: Simply great!!
Review: It can go from being a simple to use P&S to a feature loaded manual camera. Great picture quality and very easy to use with your computer/ TV. The only negatives are the lens cap and card size.
Go on...buy it...

Summary: crisp quality pictures
Review: The Olympus c3000 zoom is a beautiful camera. It is easy to use, has wonderful picture clarity potential, an average optical and digital zoom. With the 3x optical zoom and the 2.5x digital zoom (which there are plenty of mega-pixels to support) You have a combined 5.5 zoom capability, more than eneough for the average person. If you use a good photo-quality printer, such as the hp photo series you will be extremely well pleased with quality of your pictures. Does have the drawback of only coming with a 8mb smartmedia card, but the prices of memory cards are dropping weekly, and you should be able to get a 128mb card for as low as 89.99. By far the best digital camera for the price in my opinion. It is a pleasure to take pictures with this camera and see the instant results it produces. Thank you.

Summary: One great value
Review: After substantial research, I chose the Oympus C-3000 digital camera. I have owned other Oympus (35mm) cameras, so I knew that the optics and mechanics were of high quality. The C-3000 did not disappoint. The pictures are incredible; both the resolution and the color depth are superb. The automatic mode is probably all that most people would ever use. The camera is a gem, although I agree with the other reviewers that the lens cap is a problem. I have owned the camera for three months, and I now use it exclusively, leaving my other (more expensive) 35mm cameras in their cases.

Summary: excellent camera
Review: I can not add much to the reviews that are already written, all I can say is this camera is great for both point and shoot and to learn more advanced things about photography. And it works with Windows XP no problem.

Summary: Excellent camera.!
Review: This camera is superb. The photo reproduction is very good, even using 640x480 setting, pictures were still very clear .
The controls are very simple and the menu is logaical and easy to follow.
The physical configuration of the camera allows easy operation even one handed.
The Olympus C-3000Z provides all the manual functionality for the avid experienced photographer while still being simple enough in auto mode for the beginner to use.
This camera needs to be shipped with at least a 16mb smart media card, the supplied 8mb card is simply ridiculous.
Anyone buying this camera must consider 1)rechargeable batteries and charger 2) larger SmartMedia card 3) Camera Bag 4) AC adapter.
Software compatability information needs to be very clear as this camera will not work with an upgrade from Win 95 to Win 98. A full installation of the software is necessary.
The silly little lens cap needs to equiped with a tether or very soon this will be a lost item
I would recommend this camera as very good value for money

Summary: Olympus Customer Service is a disgrace.
Review: I purchased this camera in July as a birthday gift for my husband. As he had owned a manual Olympus for many years he was very excited to see what the new camera could do. Sadly the camera did not work and we were unable to produce even one photo from it. Well these things happen so having spoken to the help desk at Olympus we duly packaged up the camera and returned it to Olympus. They acknowledged receipt of the camera on 30th July and we waited patiently for it's return. It is now the 9th September and despite phone calls and email we still have no camera and no explanation. From your other reviews it looks like this could be a great camera and lots of fun. It's very sad that Olympus is too big to care about it's customers. We look forward to revising our review when we have had the opportunity to use the product!
