Olympus C-7000 Zoom Review

by Laura Blackwell

- Next to the massive cameras typical of its class, this sleek metal model looks positively petite. It's a mere 4 by 2.3 by 1.7 inches, and weighs in at only 7.1 ounces, less than half the weight of most advanced cameras.

User Reviews for Olympus C-7000 Zoom

Reviewed by: esstek

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Metal body is attractive, durable. The ability to set everything from aperture, shutter speed, focus, expo. comp, flash comp, is very rare with P&S cameras. Li-Ion battery holds charge for weeks.

Weaknesses: A bit large by mid 2007 standards. Plastic tripod socket threads.

Overall Evaluation: This is a very capable camera for use by advanced amateur photographers! It can perform almost anything you care to manually adjust it to do. Or, you can simply set it to AUTO focus and PROGRAM mode and use it for snapshots. Very versatile with extremely good images when handled properly. Also rare is the ability to fire from a small, hand-held, infrared remote control (Olympus model RM-2, RM-1) Great MACRO modes, too! One of my absolute favorite cameras for almost any use. Better than many newer cameras, in many respects.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: The high zoom was definatly a plus for me, plus the rechargable battery helps it to last longer

Weaknesses: To take a clear picture, most times the camera would have to be on a certain setting or in a certain environment

Overall Evaluation: I really enjoyed this camera except for the fact that it was hard for me to get clear pictures. I recieved the Olympus C-7000 zoom for Christmas/ Birthday gift last year and just this past week I seemed to have misplaced it. As I look for new cameras it is hard to find any with the same zoom compatibility as my Olympus C-7000 'zoom' had. Through my search of a new camera I can't help but compare every other cameras' zoom to this which makes it hard to find a good quality new camera with the same size and zoom compatibility.
