Summary: Excellent features/price ratio.
Review: This is a very full featured camera for not a lot of money compared to other similarly equipped cameras out there.Relatively compact size with a nice comfy handgrip. Menu features are easy to access, although this sometimes makes it difficult to quickly customize your shot (such as setting f-stop, shutter speed, ISO, etc). Fortunately, the automatic mode takes very good pictures and does a good job adapting to lighting conditions. One of the buttons can be set to access a feature you commonly want to change, such as picture resolution or ISO. Two of the menu items can also be customized for quicker access to shot settings. It does a much better job at focusing in low light conditions and seems to be a little easier on batteries than older Olympus C model cameras I've used. The flash is adequate, although if you want to light things up more than 5 meters away, you'll probably need something with a little more oomf. The viewfinder is reasonably accurate (actual photo is a little bit larger than what's seen in the viewfinder), but for close-up shots you'll want to use the LCD. One nice feature I have been taking advantage of is the ability to take panorama shots using panorama-compatible Olympus SM cards (the cards will indicate this compatibility). Switch to Panorama mode and you get two boxes on either side of the LCD that you can use to help with registration. Overall, an excellent camera with tons of features for the price.

Summary: Awesome Camera
Review: This is a great camera, it takes excellent pictures. Definitively I recommend buying it if you can afford it. I took more than a hundred pictures and used the display constantly and the batteries didn't run out. The only thing is that when using the digital zoom the pictures came out blurry and if you leave the camera without batteries for more than an hour it erases the memory and you have to set everything again.
It comes with a lot of extra features and settings. You can manually set the camera or use the auto mode. You can adjust everything including the shutter speed. Even in low light conditions the pictures turned out great.
It has everything I look on a camera and more, it even has a socket in case you want to add an external flash and the option of video out to an RCA jack, in case you want to see the pictures/videos taken through the TV either in NTSC or PAL format.
It has a lot of cool stuff. It is a little heavy because it uses 4 AA batteries but I bet you won't regret buying it once you see the results.

Summary: Olympus C-4000
Review: Four primary factors pushed me to buy the Olympus C-4000. 1. I already own an Olympus D460 Zoom and have been very happy with it. The Camedia software is the best I have found for fixing pictures that are under-exposed or off color, and that is saying a lot. I have used many of the main image software including Microsoft and Adobe and the Camedia is still the best in my opinion. 2. Cost - when compared to the Canon G2, which in my opinion is the only other camera close in the 4.0 MP league, there was a $200 to $250 price difference. The on-camera ease-of-use features are slightly less on the Olympus C-4000, meaning you need to go into more menus and adjust things manually instead of turning a dial or pushing a button, but overall the camera will do all the same things that the G2 can. 3. Batteries - The largest cost savings advantage is the savings you get in batteries. The G2, and many other cameras like it, require special batteries. The C-4000 will run on 4-AA batteries. Of course standard alkaline will run out quickly, but using NiMH rechargable batteries works EXCELLENT. They last a very long time and you can use them over and over again. The camera comes with 2-CVR3 batteries, but don't let that scare you, the literature clearly states you can use standard AA batteries. 4. Maximum PC Magazine put the Olympus C-4000 head-to-head with the Canon G2 and several others and the C-4000 came out on top. Their review is worth reading. Their motto is (and it is on the cover of each magazine) "Maximum PC, Minimum BS" and they certainly live up to that claim in my experience so far.

Summary: Olympus C4000: The Best Four Megapixel Digital Camera Deal!!
Review: Pros: Lots of manual options, incredible feature set, superb four megapixel digital images, Fantastic optics for color and clarity, Manual and automatic controls for pros and debutants, Very little lag, Excellent image quality and easy to use buttons, Fast, Many settings and options, great zoom ratio, nice control layout, nice size LCD Cons: Slightly Heavy, Not as cool looking as other cameras, 8 MB Storage card supplied with camera is woefully inadequate, User manual, software kind of plain, battery life, Size of pictures and erase features are not what I would like. Summary: The C-4000z is a very impressive digital camera and for the price it can't be beat. This camera packs a serious punch with features only found on higher end digital cameras. I have been using digital cameras for the past four years from Kodak to Sony but this one out beats them all. Now I won't beat around the bush and say there are no flaws with the cam, the first being the batteries shipped with the cam (they are one time use only)! So right off the bat you have to spend a couple more dollars for rechargeable batteries. The batteries I got I'm able to take about 200 hundred high res. (TIFF) pictures before being replaced. The second problem is the small memory card shipped with the cam (at the time of my buy Olympus was giving free 64 mb cards with mail in rebate). The camera does come with a owners manual but has very limited information in it, for a extensive manual you have to read it off the installation disk in PDF form which isn't bad for me because it makes it a little easier to look something up using the word find feature. Now for the good things about the camera. This camera is packed with features and this should be taken into account if your new to digital cameras there is a lot to take in. Everything is arranged on the camera that makes it easy to navigate and set up. Olympus even went and put a user choice setting button which is nice if you use certain setting such as focal length, shutter speed etc. which enables you to set your preferences and return to them without having to set the whole camera up again. The pictures that result from this camera are amazing! I was at Yosemite a couple of weeks ago and shot some impressive pictures which I framed and had hanging on my wall a service tech who was doing some work in my house actually wanted to know where I had bought the pictures. Several other features that Olympus thought of were the ability to attach an external flash (optional). The camera also gives you the ability to crop pictures right on the camera. The panoramic feature takes a little to get used to but works really well. I don't want to bore you with the fine details (exposure settings, shutter speeds etc) but just wanted to let you know if your looking for a decent digital camera at a fair price the C-4000z is for you. Oh just one more thing a little tip I use all the time, If you happen to have a smart media card take it along with you to your local camera shop or electronic store and ask the sales person if you can insert your card and try the camera. You can then take the card home and if you have a media reader or printer that has a reader built in you can see the results of the camera prior to buying it (just a suggestion). It also gives you the opportunity to see how your digital dark room will do when it come to printing from this camera.

Summary: Worked great, until it broke!
Review: Exactly 1 year and 1 month after purchasing this camera, the flash stopped working. The warranty expires after one year, so I took the camera in to a local shop. They said that the problem was in the CPU of the camera and they would have to send the camera back to Olympus. Fine, except Olypus charges $250 to fix the camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it!??!?! I'm OUTRAGED!

Summary: I love this camera!!!
Review: The camera is just outstanding! I love it! I had it for about a year and the pictures are just great. It has ton of options and even after a year, I haven't used them all. There are several reasons, hovever, why I gave it only 4 stars. 1. The cap on the lense got to go. I forgot to take it off once just when I bought the camera, and the camera died on me. I had to send it back for a replacement.
2. It's pretty bulky and you have to carry it around in it's own case, which could be problematic when you go to other countries and don't want to attract attention.
3. The flash makes everybody blink and it's hard sometimes to get a good picture.
Other than that, I would highly recommend the camera and I would buy it again in a second!
Buy it.

Summary: I wasn't a believer in Digital Cameras....now I am!
Review: This camera is absolutely fantastic. The image quality is amazing--and that is the single most important feature of a camera. If it doesn't take decent pictures--why have it? I started my research by purchasing the Sony DSCP92 5MP digital camera. I was so disappointed in the image quality that I nearly concluded that the technology wasn't there yet for digital cameras. I then tried a Kodak EasyShare--same result. The Olympus C-4000 may be a little bulky and heavier than others--but it is well worth the extra weight. The options are amazing--I don't think I'll use everything that is available, but it's nice to have the options. Other reviewers have mentioned the lense cap--only a minor annoyance. You get used to removing it before turning it on. It's like putting your car in "park" before removing the key. It gets to be a routine. The pictures from this camera are beautiful. I favor having them processed at a photo lab (shutterfly, walgreens, etc.) and they are better than our 35mm camera's. I've been able to zoom in, crop, etc. without any loss in clarity. Simply said--I love this camera. I highly recommend it!!

Summary: Very pleased with this camera
Review: I am very pleased with this camera. Clear shots. Easy to use. The zoom features of this camera, i would say, exceeds everyday use requirement. Also, since it is 4MP, I have enough allowance for cropping pictures without it getting grainy.

Summary: Excellent Cam, BUT POOR CONSTRUCTION
Review: i love my olympus camedia, and just about all the other reviews here are righteously top notch, BUT the problem i have had several times with my own is that the LENS POPS OUT. it is held together by a very weak link on the inside, and just one wrong move and the lens gets bent and won't go back in. it is TOO FRAGILE, and has to be sent away to get fixed, it is not something you can readily fix on your own. it is unfortunate, because otherwise this digicam rules.
