WOW. It's Amazing. [Posted on 2002-06-15]
Hello, This Olympus C-211 is one of the best cameras I have ever bought. It's really a good and beautiful Camera. Why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5! Well, coz its big size but it's ok when u have 2 cameras in one. I just say Wow.
I love this camera!! [Posted on 2002-08-18]
I have used many digital cameras--mostly high end products. I have never been able to achieve the color clarity as well as the detail that this camera can produce--even in ambient lighting situations that are not so camera-friendly. I have uploaded pics to my pc as well as taken the smartcard to the camera shop to have them printed out. It was really easy and took only a minute for either function. At the camera shop, I selected the views that I wanted and had them printed to CD since I knew their equipment was color calibrated far better than mine! (you can tell I'm obsessive about color--for an amateur). The quality of the print was so excellent that my photographer husband thought that it was taken with a 35 mm. Ya' gotta' love it. I also used the polaroid print function and found the color to be excellent in that respect as well. The nice big preview screen on the back is great and can also be used for framing shots.
Since I prefer a "sturdy" camera, the relative bulk of this camera doesn't bother me a bit! The super light cameras tend to "fly away" on me, and I'm never sure that what I wanted was what I shot.(Guess I'm getting old!) Very nice camera with excellent optics. I sold my other fancy digital camera to buy this one...Good move on my part!!!
Good camera but software problems. [Posted on 2002-10-30]
This is a very good camera and it is easy to use and takes great pictures. The problem I have with it is that it won't communicate with my PC. I have installed all the software that came with the camera as instructed but when I try to install the USB Driver it says that it can't be found. I am operating with Windows 98, 30 gigs hard-drive, 128 megs RAM at 800Mhz. Has any one else had similar problems?
This camera is AWESOME!! [Posted on 2003-04-22]
I bought this camera about month ago...and I use it alot. Its so versatile... I love Polaroid 500 pics anyway...so this was neat because it is a digital cam along with the OPTION of polaroid *quick* prints. Yes it IS larger size...BUT ...I still love it. On the polaroid part... you can take 4 to 9 pics (which you have taken on the camera) ...and put on ONE polaroid print... it's SOOOOOO cool. One thing I havent been able to do yet is download... for some crazy reason...my computer isn't picking up the cam... BUT... I still love the camera....I RECOMMEND it... Its a fun camera :-) ITS AWESOME!! Go for it :-)
Love it and it will love you back [Posted on 2005-01-01]
This was my first digital camera purchase, two and a half years ago and I have hardly put it down since. Yes, it looks like a suitcase, and just try whipping one out now next to a guy with a digital camera the size of a microchip, but the heck with them! This camera is a modest little workhorse, and has been churning out crisp and beautiful photos for me since the moment I picked it up. Considering it's age, it even has a few bells and whistles, including a nice little zoom, a short movie mode, a neat white board and black board effect, and a decent macro mode for it's class. And most excellently, though I had had precious little experience with digital cameras before, I did not even have to glance at the manual to figure it all out.
The polaroid pictures are not of the best quality (it's the digital pictures that show the c-211 to it's best advantage), but it's a handy feature, especially if your job requires documentation, and immediate hardcopies of documentation. Or just to impress your friends and justify the fact that your camera is the size of a lunchbox.
As point and shoots go, particularly ones that were introduced so long ago, this kid was all I wanted, up until I dropped it, and it skidded across some concrete for a while--which I don't recommend. It's a great choice for a beginner with a limited amount of money to spend who wants to make sure they have decent quality photos. A used or refurbished camera (mine was) won't set you back very much (mine was @160.00 almost 3 years ago). Yes, it's a little on the heavy side, and people may laugh, but the C-211 will work it's little heart out for you.
Until you drop it...
