    Good Points: It's small, compact and takes excellent pictures and is so simple to use - a genuine point and shoot. Its so small and light that its easy to carry inm your pocket and has a built in flash. Very sturdy and reliable. Quality olympus lens - despite iots small size, Takes a reasonably 'wide abgle' shot.


    Bad Points: Very occasionally it gets the white balance wrong. Digital zoom - lacks optical zoom. Doesn't work with my picbridge printer.


    General comments: The Olympus C-150 is one of the easiest point and shoot digital compacts ever. It's quality is better than 2 mega pixels would suggest. The quality of its images are often on a par with a digital SLR. Comes with a good selection of s/w for a pc.

    Love the camera but disappointed in its battery use. Have to buy the really expensive batteries to keep it going. Even bought a recharger to power the batteries and still takes only a couple of shots before the battery is drained.

    The Olympus C-150 camera is brilliant if you don't like faffing about with buttons here there and everywhere. With the screen open or closed the buttons have different functions. I got the hang of this camera within hours, and I've got some brilliant photos off of it!!
    On the other hand, it does lose power quite quickly, and the flash does wash out pictures in very low light. In moderate light it's best not to use the flash, you can just enhance the picture with a program on your computer af ...

    The Olympus C-150 camera was purchased just before Xmas for only A$80 which is an absolute bargain. Applications are easy enough to use once the instructions have been perused. However, the only complete instructions on how to use the much vaunted 'panorama' feature are printed in Japanese. Bugger! Even the official Olympus site does not disclose how to use the aforementioned feature. Any ideas guys? Otherwise I agree with previous comments on the need to get a battery charger and the problems w ...

    I bought an Olympus C-150 as my first digital camera one year ago. I should have saved some more and bought a more expensive model. The picture quality is ok in bright light conditions but in low light levels, quality drops dramatically. Its realy bad point however is the flash. It is useless. At anything more than a few feet the pictures are dark and muddy. It is practically impossible to take an indoor flash picture without redeye. Battery life is extremely poor. Its one saving grace i ...

    Olympus C-150 - David C2 must be a voracious reader if he finds the instruction manual too short: it runs to 148 pages! Patience is rewarded though, because it covers every feature in minute detail. Since it has in common with the menus the drawback of small print, it's just as well it's viewable in Adobe Acrobat with the zoom-in facility.
    On the whole this is an excellent camera for someone just starting on the digital trail; and unbelievably cheap. I agree that it's a shame there's no optical ...

    This Olympus C-150 is a perfect intro to digital photography. The camera is a *really* nice compact design, it's pretty simple to operate, and generally the quality of the images are very good.

    You get the best results out of it when you override some of it's own settings and compensate exposures etc.

    It only has a digital zoom and if I was starting again I'd go for one that had an optical zoom.

    The manual is short (a bit too short?) but adequate and it comes with a foldy out start here ...

    I bought one of these Olympus C-150 and at first found it to be a fairly decent digital camera on the whole.
    When I started taking more serious photographs the C150 simply could not handle it. On close ups you are OK at about a foot, anything less than that starts to get fuzzy, a real close up of about 5cm was terrible. Still at the price it is not a bad camera, I would not recommend it for anything more than an every day snapshot camera.
    Photo quality was OK, but a little hazy/fuzzy around th ...

    I bought the Olympus C-150 camera from "Cameras2u" who i had never heard of before and so i was a little weary. However, they offered exceptional service and the camera was delivered just two days later and it was very well packaged. It took me approximatly one day to master the cameras functions, features and controls and inclueded with the camera I received a quick start guide which was very conveinient. Inclueded with the camera you get a 16MB XD card which holds 32 pictures on the second bes ...
