The Olympus Camedia C-50 was my first compact digital camera. Although a bit bulky, I was very happy with the results. Picture quality never let me down and the camera allows full manual settings. Unfortunately the screen is too small and difficult to check the results especially in bright sunlight. Also, quite annoying the fact that one has to close the lense to review the pictures taken. On the whole I think it's very good quality camera.

Olympus C-50 Zoom - My first digital, but didn't last more than a year.
Took reasonably good shots, although shutter delay very frustrating. Let me down on a holiday in Cuba - electronic fault prevented display from working. By the time I'd got home & contacted Olympus, the guarantee was up and they wanted to charge me £129 to fix (for a software fault!!!).
Suffice to say Olympus will never have my custom again.

I find this Olympus C-50 Zoom digital camera very impressive for such a small unit. Everyday subjects are tackled with ease but low light and fast moving subjects prove more than challenging. The results are more than satisfactory and enlarge easily to 10x8 and beyond.Colour balance is good in all aspects especially skin tones.A slow start up and no sound to mpeg movies are two major flaws to this camera but I would still reccomend it to a newcomer or eager amatuer.

I've had several cameras, both normal and digital, but none of them (even if more expensive) have had as good picture quality as this baby. The 5 Mpix of course helps but the real bonus is in the colours - they are really, really good - and when given time to focus the crispness of the pictures is of very high standard.
To mention the camera's downsides:
You have to close the lense cover to review images, the autofocus takes slightly too long to make the camera a real point-and-shoot (though I ...

The Olympus C50 was a BIG disappointment after my C40.
The camera is well made, a great size and shape, and has a decent zoom lens. The wireless remote is a nice touch too.
However, in comparison to my C40, the lack of the top LCD panel means the color screen has to come on every time you want to check the resolution, number of remaining shots, flash status etc.
The C40 has a mic and speaker for the quicktime movies. OK, so the quality of the movies is pretty poor, but it's just a nice touch ...

Comparing the C50 to my existing C40, I am not impressed. The 3x zoom is just that little bit better than the 2.8x on the C40, and the shape is better.
However, you lose the top LCD of the C40 that lets you know so many things. The colour screen has to come on every time you want to check the resolution, number of remaining images, flash status, battery life, plus the C50 has no built in noise reduction for those night shots.
The C40 has a microphone and speaker to capture sound on quicktime ...

Very poor manual. Olympus told me they would sell me a user manual for the RM-1 Remote Control. For $10 ! WoW what a deal they sell you a camera then sell you a manual to teach you how to use it. The RM-1 remote is not in the basic manual that comes with the C-50Z. The basic manual is poorly written and very hard to follow. The Li-10B battery is over priced! $70 is outrageous!

This camera is the one I have waited for for quite some time. The size, ease of use and picture quality is unreal I would recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for xcellent quality photos with the ease of carrying the camera with you wherever you go. If your looking for just plain photos without tremendous detail and true color get something else This is a true perfectionist camera.
RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!
