LOL I feel much better now
No worries, Dwight, Michel just had a heart attack, felt down andShoot, I am sorry. I could have sworn the 3030 was 28mm. I goofed,
I just looked it up in my manual and it is 32. Sorry. It is better
than 36 though
broke the E100RS and one leg, and I (his wife) am typping the
answer from the hospital web café ;=)
No, really, Dwight, no problem, and thank you for the help.

know something about that sport..but you don't
expensive bike are the lighter, and the more light they are and the
more expensive they are...that goes for the backpacking equipement
too. So it depend where are your priority.
If i would have bought a c2100 i would have paid 169$ more to get
the extended warranty for SDS...because i would be really worry

Hi Roberta,
I kown some c2100 have vigneting without any filter and i wknow many have vigneting with the PL filter alone. The one we have at work has quite strong vigneting with a PL filter, i have checked. withouth the filter it is acceptable and only appear in total wide angle, especially with blue sky.
Read the forum and you will see how many people have this problem...maybe you don't but some have. I said that not all seam to have this problem.
As for the SDS...there is plenty of documentation on people getting that to ignore it but its not in my spec..should i put it?
de toute facon...moi je serais tres inquiete et je prendrais la garantie!

hmmm je n'ai jamais dis que je pouvais tenir la caméra a 1/4 au zoom complet..j'ai toujours spécifié que ma limite était 1/10 au zoom complet et que a moins de 1/30 c'était difficile. Que la plupart des gens peuvent tenir plein zoom a 1/60 comme limite. C'est épouventable comment cet épouventaille ment.
Enfin...ecost.com vend des garanties Olympus pour 69$...je vais attendre un peu car ma caméra est toute neuve et je vais en prendre une...Je farais pareil si j'étais vous...on sait jamais, car ce probleme peut survenir apres un an ou plus d,apres ce que je peus voir.
La caméra de Forrest est aussi brisée mais je sais pas quel était le probleme la.
Aussi j'ai entendu parlé que d'enregistrer sa caméra sur le site d'Olympus donne droit a 3 mois de plus de garantie...je vais faire ca pour la mienne.
bonne chance

Hi Terry.
I hate to admit this since I do think the 3040 is a terrific camera, but I would have to say that 9 out of 10 times I take the 2100 with me. I do prefer the better detail you can get with the 3040 but the 2100 wins out because of:
1. The zoom (no need to elaborate)
2. The IS (again no need to elaborate)
2. The viewfinder- although not perfect I LOVE being able to look through the viewfinder and see what I'm going to get. I almost never have to use the LCD with the 2100.
3. Ease of use- Like having more buttons on the camera rather than having to dig into the menus as much as one has to with the 3040.
4. I prefer the "feel" of the 2100. Comfortable- Good balance- Good weight (feeling of solidity).
I do a lot of printing (8x10) and very often, when looking at the prints, I can't tell which were from the 3040 and which were from the 2100. I stayed away from the 2100 because of its 2.1 megapixels but the zoom was irresistable and I was thrilled to find the quality of the photos exceeded all my expectations.
LOL- you asked a simple "yes" or "no" question and I'm going on and on. So, summing up, the answer to your question is No- I have not been using my 3040 much since getting the 2100.--Olympus 3O4O and Olympus 21OOUZ http://www.pbase.com/ro2001
The point I was making is that it was a problem with older cameras. Doesn't seem to be problem with those issued later.
As for your question- in all honesty I think you should keep your specs to yourself since they're not quite objective. I believe it would be infinitely more helpful, when people inquire, to direct them to the Olympus site for technical info and to various experienced reviewers sites for comparisons. There they would get more accurate and more unbiased FACTS.
I do think its fair, if you own a particular camera, to tell what you like or don't like about it. I do NOT think its fair to tell people what you've heard or read about a camera. All of us, being human, are prone to misinterpreting or misunderstanding things we've read or heard. Liken it to our court system- "hearsay" is not reliable or acceptable.

It's no lie!
Terry was quite right about you using that claim as soon as you had the opportunity. It has long been recognized that you search and grab onto anything that can be construed in a negative manner against the C2100UZ . Why deny it? No one ever knocks your camera.Why not leave others alone? JD

No, I actually did send John the email on Sunday at 11:35 AM as soon as I saw Dennis' post and here it is...
"John,
I want you to do me a favor. Save this email. The reason for it is that I want proof. I'm going to make a prediction. Now that this guy, Dennis Daugherty, claims to have taken a handheld shot at 1/4 of a second with the C700, Daniella is going to claim either SOME people or MANY people can do this whenever the topic of IS on the 2100 comes up or the discussion revloves around the capabilities of the C700. She will multiply this one instance. Just keep it around awhile if you don't mind.
Later...
Terry"
I knew you'd do this and now that this ONE PERSON has APPARENTLY had an SDS with his camera, you'll multiply this too. You're very predictable. Oh by the way, you said you were ignoring my posts. Also, here in this topic you stated that you knew people who spent $$$ to remove 1/2 pound of weight from THEIR mountain bikes but earlier, you said that YOU paid $1000 to remove 1/2 pound from YOUR mountain bike. Here's the link...

No need to apologize... I know exactly how you feel. Your experiences and feelings almost mirror my own. I also never looked at the 2100 because of the cost and the 2.1 MP but when the price dropped to $399, I couldn't resist. Actually, I wasn't even looking at it then. One of my co-workers asked me about it and I decided to check here for some user info and that's when CompUSA had that sale. I bought it as a "second camera" but, after using it and having the same reactions you did, it immediately became my primary camera. I still carry them both around though but I just took my rechargeable batteries out of it and put regular batteries in it. By the way, which printer are you using?Hi Terry.

Thanks, but no thanks. I've already run down the Uzi to 0 on the
batteries a couple times w/out incident, and as I don't download
from the camera I might never have the problem even if my
unit is in the "suspect" batch. I probably stand a greater chance of
the camera hitting pavement than falling prey to SDS after more than a
year of use anyway. Besides, $169 for an extended warranty on a
$399 camera? I don't think so. That's a B-300 or some other accessory
I could have instead.

I use the Epson Stylus Photo 870. LOVE it. I get really fantastic prints from it.
After lots of experimenting I find I get the best results using Epson's SemiGloss paper and Epson's Heavyweight Matte.
I took three pics and printed each (8x10) on a few different papers (Epson's Glossy, Premium Glossy, and a few other Epson papers, and then printed on some other brands of paper too. In the end the SemiGloss and Matte won by a landslide. Colors come out more vivid- get better contrast and brightness.
SemiGloss is sometimes difficult to find in local stores (CompUSA has it sometimes) so I've started ordering it online.
For 4x6 prints I like Epsons 4x6 roll paper- both gloss and semi-gloss. (The printer comes with roller attachment). With this paper you can print one picture after another and they print edge-to-edge. Of course you have to cut them apart but that's only a major annoyance when I print 20 or more pics at a time.
BTW- I use a Mac.
(the only forum threads that bring out as much emotion as the "700 vs 2100" are the "Mac vs PC" ones. I tend to avoid both unless someone gets me really riled up. ;-)
See ya

Hi Roberta.
I'm a long time PC man myself but the Powerbook G4 really got me thinking. Titanium lightweight, long battery life, powerful processor, large 15.2" screen, etc. I'll still need to run a lot of PC applications so I started looking into Virtual PC 5 which supposedly runs all operating systems smoothly including Win XP. You can even have a Mac OS X, a Win XP, and a Win 98, f.ex. running at the same time. The only thing I haven't been able to find is how fast PC applications run in Virtual PC as opposed to say a 1GHz Pentium 3 Mobile processor. Do you know anything about this?

Hi Daniella.
In the case of Forrest's camera it was just the dial knob that came off. I can't remember if he dropped it or what happened.

Again, our experiences are very similar. I've been using an 870 for about a year and it's been doing a great job for me. My favorite paper is the Heavyweight Matte but I haven't tried the Semi-Gloss yet. I may give that a shot upon your recommendation.
Oh well, nobody's perfect. ;-)
