Digital camera reviews of Olympus C-5000 5MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: A great bargain, end lots of advanced features
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought ours more than five years ago on the recommendation of a pro photographer. It has thusfar never failed to deliver all it promised to deliver, though by today's standards it may appear to fall short in regards to pixel memory or other bells and whistles.
Nevertheless, it has performed outstandingly in super macro mode (the feature which we were most in need of), and contrary to what other reviewers have said here, I believe it has delivered high-quality colour reproduction.
Right out of the box, one can use the Auto mode and capture brilliant snapshots and portraits. BUT don't stop there. Read the manual through. This model has loads of advanced shooting modes and features you will want to explore..including a panorama mode and a side-by-side picture mode.
The ONLY shortcomings this model has are shutter lag (kind of sluggish by today's standards), less powerful optical zoom (I'd gladly trade the digital zoom for more optical power), and the movie feature really comes up lacking by contemporary standards (jittery, and no sound).
But overall, the prices I see here on Amazon are a bargain.
