    Product description

    Olympus Camedia Digital Camera C-2020 Z.

    Amazon.com

    An upgrade to Olympus' respected (and discontinued) C-2020, the C-2040 incorporates all of its predecessor's features plus a faster lens, easier connection to your computer, and improved image processing. The fast f1.8-2.6 lens is clearly the central feature of the new model. According to Olympus, the lens lets the C-2040 shoot in lower light conditions, which allows you to shoot flash-free in more situations and increases the effective range of the flash. The 2.11 megapixel CCD in the C-2040 captures images at a resolution of 1600 x 1200, in both the JPEG and uncompressed TIFF formats, and an 8 MB internal buffer allows you to shoot at 1.4 frames per second at high resolution and low compression levels. Additionally, the camera can record short QuickTime movies with sound.

    The camera can be operated in several modes: in programmed-auto mode, the camera does everything for you; in aperture- and shutter-priority modes, you get to set the aperture or priority, and the camera does the rest; in full manual mode, you have control over all camera functions. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via the included USB cable, or viewed on your television using the included video cable. The camera includes USB storage class connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000 and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software. The C-2040 also ships with two CR-3V long-life disposable lithium batteries (four AA batteries can also be used), an 8 MB SmartMedia card, strap, and software.

    Many will wonder why I wanted this camera now, with only 2.1mp when there are cameras out there with HUGE resolution and lots more bells and whistles. The answer is easy--I had this camera and lost it, and HAD to have another one like it (I actually bought TWO through AMAZON!!!)
    This little camera comes with a 1.8 "super-bright" lens which permits me to take wonderful photos in very low light, without the flash. It takes crisp, lovely pictures, and for my purposes, has all the bells and whistles I need. I'm usually taking pix to be seen on the internet, or for small (4x6in) prints. If I were taking pictures for HUGE prints, or for reproduction into a magazine (ha!) then the better resolution available with higher megapixel count would probably be better.
    I think I bought the only two available on Amazon, but I recommend it to anyone who can find one. MAKE SURE that the camera includes both the download cable, to import the pictures from the camera to your computer, and the AC connector cord, so that you don't have to waste your batteries downloading pictures using the camera's batteries.
    In case you are unaware of this, downloading your pictures uses much more of your battery's charge than picture taking, too. If you use a card reader, of course this wouldn't even come into play. But if you DO download from your camera directly into your computer, be sure the seller includes the AC adapter cord.
    This is, as far as I am concerned, "The Little Camera that Could" and I heartily recommend it.

    I found the installation of this Olympus camera on my home pc to be a technical nightmare. After I obtained the camera I found the fine print announcing that the driver permiting my Windows 98 operating sytem to recognize the device had to be downloaded from the Olympus website. Easy enough. The very complex procedure to install this driver required very-slow-in-coming e-mail explanation from Olympus Technical Support. After hours of struggle(and help from some very computor savy friends) I finally got it going, only to find the Camedia software very awkward and difficult. There are far more user friendly and home pc combatible systems available at comparable prices.

    3.0 out of 5 stars 1st time set up started an argument
    Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2001
    The camera comes with an easy set up extra instruction sheet. Easy? Sounds good. First the Olympus batteries wouldn't fit. Wife says "Take it back" Finally a VERY hard push got them in. Second the SmartMedia memory card wouldn't connect. Wife says "Take it back" Finally a hard push got it in. Third was setting the time. This was a major production due to the very complex menu. "Wife says "Take it back" Finally it's time, maybe, to take a picture. Turned camera on. No picture on the back screen. Hmmmm, this is not good. Re-read the easy set up extra instruction sheet word for word. Wife says "Take it back, it doesn't work" Finally in very tiny print we find that there is a "monitor" button. Take some snaps. So far this was the easy part. Installed the Camedia software on PC which comes with virtually zero documentation. Plugged in the USB cable and camera. Win98SE sees camera but doesn't find a driver. Easy set up instruction says nothing about software or drivers. The thick, mostly foreign language instruction book says see driver instructions on the Camedia disk. I look and look and look. No driver instructions could be found on the disk. Based on previous PC experience I point Win98SE to the Camedia disk sub sub directory for drivers. Win98SE finds driver. Whew. All is good, so I think. Boot up Camedia and attempt to transfer pictures from camera to Camedia. NO GO. Camedia can't find camera. Call a friend for help. Friend tells me actually the camera is now just another hard drive. Shut down the worthless Camedia and let Windows98SE go find the new Olympus hard drive. FINALLY I find the snaps on the Olympus drive and insert the snaps into some family email. Time to call it a very long night.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely piece of work
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2001
    This camera was a birthday gift. I had asked for a digital point-and-shoot but my husband, a photography instructor, thought better and bought a camera with manual modes. The camera is a joy to use and takes beautiful photos outdoors and in, with the default JPG format of 1200x1600 pixels. This is fine if the biggest you want to go is 5 x 7 (8 x 10 if you're not picky). If you're an amateur, like me, turn the blasted flash off and go with natural light, but remember to adjust the ISO "film" speed up accordingly (the default is 100). All compact flash units are a pain, though this does have an option for a separate flash. Yes, rechargable batteries and an AC adapter are must-haves. Leave the camera plugged into AC while the batteries recharge so you don't lose the date/time settings you've entered.
    The parallax distortion in the viewfinder is different from what is described in the instructions -- if doing closeups, use the monitor to center the composition.
    The nested menus to control the various functions are confusing, my only real complaint about this camera (other than the "lens cap of doom" that you MUST not leave on). You will live with the manual for a while. Laminate the flimsy paper covers, it gets dogeared fast.
    The Camedia Master software is confusing -- you click on the "download pictures" menu and get a message that there's no communications with the camera! Obvious this feature must work with some other Olympus camera. Same message if you click on the little "my camera" icon. The software sees the camera up as a removable drive, and you have to drill down two levels to get to the pictures. Once there, you can just drag and drop the pix like any other file in Windows. For that matter, you can just drag and drop in Explorer, if you don't want to look at the thumbnails. A serious amateur will need to get better editing software, like Photoshop, to manipulate the captured images. Make sure you program the camera with date and time, otherwise all images are given a date of 01/01/00, very confusing, and the default names will overlap (default names include the date it was taken).
    All in all, a very nice camera.
