Olympus C-2100 UZ review

I bought this camera when it first came out and loved it then, but things move on and I upgraded regularly over the years so eventually 2.1 megapixels seemed insubstantial and I gave the camera to a friend who was studying photography. Now in 2010, even though I have a number of great cameras ( my main D-SLR is a Canon 7D ) I always missed my UZI and just this week I managed to find a mint condition model on ebay which I now have in my posession, I will not be giving it away or selling it again. This camera truly is set to become one of the classics of the digital age and I have absolutely no concern over it's 2.1 sensor. The UZI has acquired something of a cult following among photographers over the years and I'm very happy to add myself to the long and growing list of admirers of this fantastic camera.

Problems:

None when I had it before and none so far with the new ebay model which looks and feels like it has just come out the box.
