Bad Points

No optical zoom, Eats batteries, slow serial downloading


General Comments

For the price, the Olympus C860 is an excellent digital camera. I have had this camera for a month now (after purchasing it through Internet Cameras Direct) and I am using it constantly and am consistently impressed with the quality of the results. The pictures I have taken are very clear, even at large picture sizes. So far I have mostly been using High Quality mode where I can store up to (approximately) 36 superb pictures on a single 8MB card.

There are quite a few options with this camera, and I certainly haven't been able to try them all as of yet.

Unfortunately there is no optical zoom, the camera does tend to eat batteries (rechargeables are a must!), and downloading to a computer can take a while with the relatively slow serial connection. But the overall quality of this camera definitely outweigh these few negative points.
