Olympus C-1 (D-100)

Opinion: I send this comment to eopinions.com, now I want to share with
newsgroup people:

I bought this camera 13 months ago, I soot a more than 2000 pictures,
very good images, but three weeks ago, after I changed the batteries,
the camera did not turn on. I thought it was batteries, but were not.
I took to Olympus repair center, they took 5 days and they call me
with the price to fix (my warranty was 12 months (ah ah looks like a
clock bomb). They ask me US$ 150 to fix the camera. They are crazy. A
camera like this one in Brazil (more expensive than other countries)
is less than US$180, so I decided to buy a another camera. They told
me that they need to change the internal circuit. They do not know
what happened. Incredible no. I am very angry. I loved this camera, it
was very good but for only 13 months...a short life. Now I cannot
believe in Olympus camera anymore.

Opinion: Good entry level camera, except of image quality. the lens is really bad! whats more, it often need very long expositure times.

Opinion: I was looking for a pocket cam in order to carry it everywhere. I found this model and bought it on line. It does it job perfectly, if you consider it to be just a pocket cam. No complaints at all, it´s a very good companion for trips.

Opinion: Good entry-level camera. Point and click. Good performance in low-light conditions. Fairly reliable at taking reasonable pics (probably due to uncomplicated P&S design). Certainly one of the better entry-level models. The 35mm equivalent is prob the best fixed equivalent you can have in the most situations. AA batteries is handy when desperate. Is a good camera for the main benefits of digicamming (loads of pictures and instant viewing on LCD). Viewing pics on the LCD is slow as it gradually draws the pics from top to bottom, but at least it has an LCD at this price! :-)

Opinion: I borrowed this camera for three days and I took my very first picture, here is an exemple http://w1.498.telia.com/~u49816524/Bilder/best/stor1.htm
I was really impressed! so now I´m in que e for Olympus C-200. ( I had to through away some of the longdistance zoomed ones, so I guess big brother will be worth a hundred more.) The linscover gets an extra +

Opinion: Except for the small screen - and some rather annoying trouble with the usb driver for Windows 98 - this is a perfect camera for snapshots and photos for web-use.
I just bought it for appr. 200 US$

Opinion: Very easy to use camera with great color images. Quite easy on batteries as well and fits well into the pocket.

The limitations of this 1.3megapixal camera show up sometimes and make me wish I had a 3megapixal camera sometimes. Love the value though and glad for buying this well thought out and easy to use and carry camera.

Opinion: Great pocket camera. A joy to use and the pix look good for the price I payed. $280 CDN I have taken this camera on sking and mountain biking treks. Wonderful as photo email camera.
