General Comments
I have had an Olympus C3020Z digital camera for five months it is the third digital camera I have owned. I use it professionally taking marine/boating images. The print quality at anything up to 16" x 12" is generally excellent however depending on lighting high contrast areas in the corners of the image show signs of abberation in the form of a blue/purple fringe. Battery life is pretty short anything less than 1700 mah batteries are really a waste of money. I can get 34 to 40 images on a 64 meg card in SHQ. If the camera is used only on its fully programmed setting results can be disappointing, I normally use aperture priority.
