C-2020 Z Manufactured by: Olympus

The new Olympus C-2020 Zoom is the first Olympus digital camera to shoot color or black & white images and the first Olympus camera with the capability to shoot up to 60 seconds of QuickTime movie.

The C-2020 Zoom is more than just a run of the mill digital camera. The C-2020 Zoom is also an advanced camera, for advanced photographers. The unit is based on the design of the original C-2000 Zoom. The C-2020 Zoom has a high-resolution 3x zoom lens which is equivalent to a 35-105mm zoom on a 35mm film camera. The camera has a 2.11 megapixel lens for capturing beautiful full color photos.

The C-2020 Zoom offers fully automatic or true manual controls for focus, white balance, and exposure. Photos can be preview with a 1.8” LCD which doesn't wash out in direct sunlight. You also get a wireless remote control in case you want to take pictures of yourself while there is no one around.

The biggest thing I like about the C-2020 Zoom is its size. It's really small and fits nicely in the hand. I also like the fact that it doesn't look like a digital camera. As a matter of fact, if there was no LCD screen on the back you would think it's a normal film camera.

During the time I got to play with the C-2020 Zoom, I've grown to like the unit so much I decided to replace my Epson Photo PC 750 with it. This is without a doubt one of the best digital camera I've ever used. Its picture quality is top notch and so are its features and ease of use.
