Olympus C-211 2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom description
Think of the Olympus C-211 as either the best Polaroid instant camera you could ever own or as a quality 2-megapixel digital camera with a built-in printer. Olympus designed this camera for on-the-job use by realtors, insurance adjusters, law enforcement personnel, and anyone else who needs both the flexibility of a digital camera and the ability to instantly print photos.As a digital camera, it's similar to the popular Olympus D490, with 1,600 x 1,200 pixel output, 3x optical/2x digital zoom, self-timer, macro, multimode flash, and movie mode. Users compose and review images on the camera's 2-inch LCD screen (the camera lacks a traditional optical viewfinder), and pictures are stored on SmartMedia cards. To quickly transfer files to your computer, the camera features a USB port. The printer can be used to make instant Polaroid pictures from any file in the camera's memory. Simply choose the photo you want to print, zoom, crop, brighten, and sharpen it as you see fit, and press the big green Print button. In about 20 seconds, the photo will pop out of the camera. The image begins to materialize almost instantly, and takes approximately two minutes to finish. The camera uses standard Type 500 Polaroid film. |

Love it and it will love you back

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...
