Olympus D-540 Zoom (C-310 Zoom) review

One of the best 3.2MP cameras for image quality the C-310/D-540 offers easy
operaytion, a innovatibe on-screen mode dial offering access to:
Program Auto, Portrait, Portrait-Landscape, Landscape, Night Scene, Self Portrait,
and Movie.

Movie mode records in 320x240 resolution in MOV format and the menu system is
easy to use with quick access to white balance settings from the top menu and
exposure composition can be adjusted through the main menu, accessed via the
OK/Menu buton .

A super macro mode is available for close-up shoots-focusing as close as 2cm/0.8"
and a panorama mode avsailable when using a Olympus xD card.

Usefully, the D-540/C-310 has a optical viewfinder-which is missing on later models
(eg. D-545 zoom).

Image quality is impressive with great detail.
The D-540 Zoom is also called the C-310 Zoom in some countries.
