›  See more technical details

Manufacturer's Description
Are you looking for a digital camera with a range of advanced features, zooming flexibility and great image quality at a moderate price? Look no further. The 3.2 million pixel C-360ZOOM makes quality shooting a snap. With a 3x optical zoom for close-up fun, this camera really brings your shots to life. You can even focus down to 7cm for truly eye-opening detail in the camera's super macro mode or record video clips with the integrated movie function plus sound.Whatever your particular locations, conditions or subjects may be, five special scene programs make sure you master every photographic situation. For example, the landscape setting is often handy when on holiday. And for capturing the beauty and atmosphere of the bay after sundown, simply switch to night scene. Even the tiniest details, such as the intricate pattern of a shell on the beach, can be recorded in Super Macro mode, which lets you shoot from just 7cm away.There are times, however, when a static image just can't convey the magic of the moment like video. For instance, that one-off moment on the summer holiday when dolphins came to play alongside the boat. Don't worry, the C-360ZOOM can record the spectacle in a video sequence with sound.Digital technology of course makes it much easier to share these special moments. The image and video files may be effortlessly downloaded to the computer and emailed to friends and relatives anywhere in the world. Printing is child's play too. Since the camera supports the PictBridge communication standard, you don't even need a PC for printing. Just connect the camera to the PictBridge compatible printer CAMEDIA P-10. This produces laminated prints that really impress with their stunning photo-realism. Alternatively, you just need to take the xD-Picture Card containing the data out of the camera and bring it to your photo dealer. The store will be able to provide you with first-class prints in no time at all.The CAMEDIA C-360ZOOM is also compatible with the Olympus Software Development Kit (SDK). This lets you control all the camera's functions from a computer, such as zoom, exposure and camera release.The C-360ZOOM delivers ease of use, an attractive, compact design and high quality photos you'll really want to keep - all at a truly modest price.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing item, 28 Jan 2006 By A Customer I am confused as to the negative review that this camera has recieved. I am 110% pleased with it. I have had it for well over a year now and have used it non stop. There is no point complaining about the 3x optical zoom, as it is advertised as this and if you wanted a camera with a better zoom then this was not the right choice for you. I have friends who have bought cameras with a higher resolution than 3.2mp, but my camera produces much higher quality images than theirs does, and the digital screen is larger and clearer than theirs. The photos are always bright and detailed, never out of focus and never blurred. It is very robust, as has been to many events with me and has taken quite a few bashes. The only fault I find with it is that it uses up the batteries quite quickly, but as it only has space for two at a time, you can't expect it not to. This is an amazing camera which has and continues to serve me well. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Do you buy a middle of the road digital camera for the video? I think not! The only reason I give this camera four stars is for the zoom lens operation which is a bit fiddly. For what this camera costs today (and I have had mine for a while now), it is extremely good value and the quality of pictures is excellent. I am delighted with my camera and think that if you want better, go better and spend more money!! Thank you! Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

However now that I have become experianced when using this low quality camera I can state that this is a waste of money! What would appear to be 'stunning looks' (as was the title of my previous review), is simply the beginning. Through time the camera can easily pick up scratches on the plastic feeling body and smudges - mainly on the screen. The 3 x Optical zoom looses its novelty quickly and soon enough it becomes appaling when compaired to other digital cameras. Also, the battery time is dreadful and flys its way though at least a new set of batteries after one long lay out, which all adds up $$!!!. The memory card, which in my opinion is almost a necessity due to the hopeless 16mb memory which is supplied also contributes to the overall price. Please, take advantage of this advice before money is wasted. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
