Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Combining great performance, ease of use, appealing design and affordability, the CAMEDIA C-350ZOOM is a great way to enjoy 3.2 megapixel quality. It boasts a 3x zoom lens and image optimisation functions such as Pixel Mapping and TruePic, as well as several precision photographic modes. While impressing with its practicality and easy operation, the C-350ZOOM also features an elegant new design in a small, compact body, so that users can take it virtually anywhere. The camera's multi-language menu is available in four different languages and the integrated 1.8 inch LCD monitor is particularly convenient for picture framing and viewing. Both inside and out, the C-350ZOOM is a prime example of the Olympus commitment to quality, design and value.
Offering 3.2 megapixels and a high-performance 3x optical zoom lens, the C-350ZOOM produces stunning prints, even in larger formats. In addition, it has a wealth of features which will appeal to users looking for more than just a point-and-shoot digital camera. Four scene programs (portrait, self-portrait, landscape and night scene) are pre-defined with the optimal settings for each type of shooting, so that users can capture beautiful photos with little effort. And for clear images when using the night-scene mode, the camera automatically engages the noise reduction function. Besides auto white balance, this model offers four preset options for different conditions: daylight, overcast, tungsten and fluorescent light. In macro mode, it is possible to focus on objects as close as only 20 cm away.
In order to achieve bold effects without sacrificing ease of use, the CAMEDIA 350ZOOM provides a number of digital editing functions. Shots can be changed to sepia or black and white photos, and a convenient re-sizing option allows reduction of the data’s file size. The image rotation feature is particularly useful when viewing photos originally taken in the portrait format, on a TV. To further enhance creative possibilities and practicality for users, the camera also includes: the recording of 15 frame-per-second movie clips in the QuickTime Motion-JPEG format, a panorama and 2-in-1 shooting function, as well as a built-in flash with four flash modes. For storing the data, this model uses the ultra-compact storage medium xD-Picture Card, and a 16 MB card is supplied with the camera.
The CAMEDIA C-350ZOOM supports the new EXIF 2.2 standard as well as PIM II, enabling compatible printers to apply the saved data to produce optimised image printouts.
With the USB AutoConnect interface, images are quickly and easily downloaded to a computer. Thanks to the Olympus CAMEDIA Master software that comes with the camera, the user is able to process, edit and archive the photos.
Offering a range of impressive features, the C-350ZOOM is perfect both for the experienced photographer and the cost-conscious newcomer to the world of digital zoom photography.

I really like this Camera! I have upgraded from a 1.3MP Konica. I find that it is very good for me as I like to just point and shoot. Using NiMh Rechargable batteries I get a good 50+ photos before I'm getting low. I also purchased a 128MB xD card which can hold 160 High Quality pictures on it, which is ample for a full holiday if you ask me. That is about 4 and a half rolls of 36 exposure 35mm film in something that is just over the size of your thumbnail!!! The xD type of card is probably the fastest digital storage I have ever seen with 5MB/Sec Write 3MB/Sec Read. So no more waiting around for you pictures to download on to your PC. Oh and when the pictures are on your PC you can print on A4 paper and have a good crisp print, depending on your printer of course!
I have had the Camera for only a week now, but if I find anything drastically wrong with it I'll update this review.

This is my first digital camera, so I can't compare it to others. However, as a "newbie" to digital photography, I found this an excellent starter camera.
The on-screen menus are fairly simple to follow. I managed to work out what I was doing without much reference to the manual.
The resolution is very good - even linked up to my 28" television, the pictures look perfect. The optical zoom is a bonus - it gives much better results than a digital zoom, where you loose resolution.
The enclosed 16Mb memory card soon gets full - I'd recommend buying at least 64Mb.
I'd have preferred it to be able to record sound as well, but hey, this is a camera, not a camcorder!
A warning - buy some rechargeable batteries!! It may be this camera, it may be all digitals, I don't know, but it EATS batteries!
Otherwise, a feature packed camera, for a really good price! I'd recommend it! As a bonus, Olympus enclosed a free 2 year subscription to "yellowtag" which offers the finder of a lost camera a reward if they return the camera to you! Can't be bad!

I bought my C-350 zoom 3 months ago and am very happy with it apart from one thing... what you see through the viewfinder is not what you get. An object can fill the frame through the viewfinder but be smaller on the resulting shot. OK it's not a problem to crop but it should be calibrated to show what you will get. Using the LCD to shoot is fine but with all LCDs it is difficult to see when there is bright sun behind (which is where the sun is most likely to be when you are shooting).
People have commented on the batteries but I find rechargeables last very well so carrying a spare set or two will do you well. The fact that it takes AAs means you won't be stuck... in an emergency you can buy these common batteries almost anywhere.
At first I was annoyed at overuse of the lens motor when I would have to retract the lens in order to view the photos on screen but then my friend bought one and saw a bit in the manual I had missed. Double press the button to go between shooting and viewing so no need to use power to keep shutting the lens!
In all, a very good buy - excellent value for money and great quality shots in all modes. The light weight and compact size mean you should never get into the 'I wish I had a camera with me' situation when you see the photogenic or unusual! Another 3 people in my work bought the same after seeing my shots and they are all happy.
