Good Points

Good quality, cheap, easy to use, loads of features, simple software


Bad Points

Not really any specific to this camera, all digital cameras consume batteries at a shocking rate so I was prepared for that! Maybe just because it isnt weather proof I worry about it getting wet!


General Comments

This Olympus C-220 Zoom is an ideal first digital camera, it does everything you would want it to do and more! Takes great pictures, has 3X optical zoom, and even more digital zoom! The viewfinder is clear and you can see in detail what your photos are going to look like. Its about the size of a normal camera, and feels like a quality item. The camedia software is nice, quick and easy with enough editing features to improve shots. The batteries are used up that fast, the alkalines lasted me 3 days of intensive use, where I was playing with it, zooming, flicking through photos, using the flash generally learning how to use it!
I now have rechargeable batteries 2000mAh and they last for ages! So are highly recommended!

This camera is really cheap at the moment, 79.99 on amazon with a free leather case, so thats another great reason to get it! Also you can pick up smartmedia cards pretty cheap so a 128Mb will store hundreds of normal quality images!

This is my first digital camera and I would say it is at least as good as if not better than cameras my friends own which cost twice as much, it has the same features and produces the same quality pictures.
