The performance features of the C60 are as impressive as its stylish metal exterior. In addition to a 6.1-megapixel resolution, the compact, durable C60 features Olympus's new TruePic TURBO image processor, a dual autofocus system usually found in SLR-style digital cameras (like the C-8080), and sunshine LCD technology that makes it easy to review your photo shoot even in bright daylight. The C60 also offers a 3x optical zoom lens, USB 2.0 connectivity, PictBridge compatibility, and movie mode with audio.
Optics and Resolution The C60 has a maximum resolution of 2816 x 2112 pixels, which will produce 30 x 40 print enlargements. It also offers these lower resolution modes: 2560 x 1920 (5 MP), 2288 x 1704 (4 MP), 2048 x 1536 (3 MP), 1600 x 1200 (2 MP), 1280 x 960 (1 MP), 1024 x 768 (SVGA), and 640 x 480 (VGA). The 3x optical zoom aspherical glass lens has a 35mm equivalent of 38mm-114mm. It also features a 4x digital zoom, for a 12x total zoom.
Movie Mode In addition to still images, the C60 can record video with sound at two resolution modes: 320 x 240 and 160 x 120 (both at 15 frames per second). Movie length is only limited by the size of your memory card. The included 32 MB XD card will record approximately 80 seconds of high-resolution video.
More Features The C60 is one of the first Olympus models to feature TruePic Turbo, a new image processor that sharpens image clarity, contrast, and color for life-like results. This feature also makes the camera 30% faster in processing images and is combined with a super-fast shutter release time. Other features include:
Thirteen shooting modes give you the flexibility to capture amazing images for various situations
Full aperture and shutter control in Manual mode
Built-in multi mode flash and Dual Auto Focus system is designed to ensure your subjects are properly lit and in focus quickly
Stitch up to 10 images together to create a single panoramic with an Olympus-branded XD memory card
Olympus' new Sunshine LCD technology enables you to review your shots even in direct sunlight. An optical viewfinder aids in composing shots.Olympus Sunshine LCD Technology Olympus' new Sunshine LCD technology enables you to review your shots even in direct sunlight. A standard display reflects sunlight from its surface and therefore in bright sunshine it is difficult to review an image. The Sunshine LCD, however, has semi-transparent layers which enable the sunlight to penetrate a few layers into the panel. This light is reflected by the underside of the liquid crystal layer, and images are clearer and brighter thanks to this additional "back light." The display also adjusts its brightness to cater for the surrounding light conditions, whether it be on a beach or in a brightly-lit room.
Storage and Transfer Images are stored on tiny XD memory cards, and a 32 MB card is included with the C60. You'll be able to store 7 shots of SHQ (or 14 HQ) 2816 x 2112 pixel images on the included card. The C60 transfers images to Macs and Windows-based PCs via a speedy USB 2.0 connection.
Direct Printing The C60 is PictBridge compatible, which enables you to transfer pictures from your digital camera to a compatible printer (such as the Olympus P-10), without a PC or image-editing software. All PictBridge devices share three basic features: camera-to-printer connecting, single-image printing, and uniform error messages (in case something goes wrong).
Power and Size The camera is powered by a proprietary rechargeable lithium-ion battery (LI-12B). The C60 measures 3.9 x 2.22 x 1.6 inches (W x H x D) and weighs a lean 7 ounces without batteries or recording media.
What's in the Box This package contains the Olympus C60 digital camera, 32 MB XD memory card, rechargeable lithium-ion battery (LI-12B), battery charger, remote control, wrist strap, USB and AV cables, and CD-ROM with Camedia Master software.

First let me say, I am a longtime devoted customer of Olympus and have owned several of their pocket cameras, going way back to the original XA-2 model in about 1979-80. I have found my older Olympus digital a pleasure to use, it gives me surefire results, and it has been reasonably reliable despite less than optimum working conditions (two small children in the house.) I decided to replace it with something smaller and more powerful, and since I had Amazon gift certificates to use, I purchased it through Tiger Direct/Amazon.
The first frustrating thing was that in the 10 days or so it took to receive this camera, it went down in price by $40 through another vendor featured on the site. It has gone back up, but still--this left a bad taste in my mouth!
I thought I had researched pretty well before purchasing this camera. Initially, I was very pleased with the ease of operation. It is (naturally) faster and more powerful than my 4-year-old C-2020. It shares the same basic commands and setup, so the learning curve was minimal. However, I was expecting the photos to be dramatically better. I would say they were about the same, and some were more blurry than I would have expected. Maybe I had finessed the focus on my old camera, or maybe there was something wrong with this one, I don't know. I was not blown away by the image quality, and as others have mentioned, the flash really is weak. This camera performed best for me in natural light, where I was able to get good closeups as well as scenic shots.
More distressing, it didn't even last a month! On the last day of preschool, I dropped it--gently--from knee height. The shutter button popped off, never to be seen again, and the door to the USB port would not shut. (Sadly, I did not realize the extent of the damage until kindergarten graduation, which I therefore didn't get on film--BOO HOO!)
Now, I realize this was completely my fault and I take the blame for dropping the camera. However, these point and shoot models do take some abuse, and I've seen other models survive much worse. This was a relatively minor bump, and the camera is virtually totalled. It is obviously not covered under warranty, and I can't return it. I sent it to Olympus and was quoted 2/3 of the purchase price to fix it. I don't think that will be happening! My next camera may still be an Olympus, but I'll definitely buy locally with a generous extended warranty, as I have in the past. Seems to be the only way to go with more delicate items, particularly those which are carried in purses, backpacks or diaper bags! :)

The colors are strange. I have other digital cameras, including another Olympus and they take excellent pictures. But the C60 colors seem to be overenhanced. I tried various settings, etc and nothing made a difference. The other thing I don't like is it takes a special battery pack. The other cameras take NiMh AA batteries and I've got a bunch of those so I can carry a lot of spares. If I kept the C-60, I'd have to buy 1/2 dozen spare batteries. But I'm returning it because of the odd photo coloration. If it wasn't for that, this could have been a great camera.
Strengths: Very compact & light, quick startup (slower with bigger XD Media cards), lots of great features (like continuous shooting mode and red-eye reduction), long battery life. Weaknesses: Weak flash, red-eye reduction not available in continuous shooting mode, slow startup with big XD Media cards. Summary: This is overall a great camera (see list of main strengths above). My biggest complaint is that the flash is pretty weak, and cannot be brightened in "auto" mode. However, if you switch the camera to one of the manual modes, you have more control over the brightness of the flash -- but I've found that increasing the brightness washes out the subjects too much. So you're stuck between a rock & a hard place. The perfect flash I ever used was on a Nikon Coolpix 995 camera, but that camera is big & bulky & slow compared to this camera. So if you're going to be doing a lot of daylight shooting or outdoor shooting that doesn't require heavy use of a flash, this camera is for you. If you're doing a lot of nighttime or indoor shooting (like me), you'll be hard-pressed to get rid of this spritely little camera that's chock-full of features, and instead you'll find yourself turning on lots of overhead lights to flood more light into the room.
Oh heavens. I bought this thing in 2005 while I was deployed to replace a 3MP camera I had at the time. It served extremely admirably, allowing for some excellent photos to be taken while overseas. It was easy to use, the adjustable settings were easy to operate, and it was just a wonderful camera.

This is the third Olympus camera I have owned, with the last one being a C50. Overall, I am very pleased with the camera.
PROS:
1. Great metal body. Very sturdy and fashionable 2. Takes great pictures for a point and shoot. Bright pictures and the color is very good 3. Nice size. Can fit in a pocket, but you will notice it, but easy to carry around at parties and family functions. 4. Simple point and click if you want, or you can customize almost all aspects of a shot. It's the best of both worlds. 5. Great camera for the price. A ton of value at 300 bucks.
CONS: 1. Load time when turning camera on with a large memory card is very slow. Plan on waiting 5 seconds for the camera to enter "ready mode" with a large memory card. 2. Could do better at taking wide angle shots. Canon is better in this area.
Overall, I recommend this camera for those looking for a great point and click camera.
This is an excellent value for the price. It has very little shutter delay, is compact, and very good to stop action (excellent for animal photos). It can pick up amazing detail and one can do severe cropping in a graphics program with very little reduction in quality to the photo. Sample photos taken with this camera at: [...] I intend to keep mine for a very long time.
I bought this camera last month and my husband loves it. He loves the 2:1 feature, the 15 second movie bit, and the ease to look at pictures already taken without having to close the camera. I bought an extra battery and larger XD card. These items go a long way to a better experience. All Olympus cameras have very similar menus to work with so it is easier to navigate through the menus if you are familiar with Olympus cameras. This is an easy camera to operate.
