Old camera, new to me. C7000Z
2

On a whim, I bought an old (2004) Oly Camedia C7000Z. 7MP, 1/1.8" CCD. XD card storage. Newer cameras are easier to shoot. 2" LCD is hard to see in sunlight. As an optical viewfinder, but wasn't able to use it for these shots as low to the ground as they were.

JPEGs SOOC. In-camera settings were SHQ, Sharpness -1, Contrast +1, Saturation +1.

Probably not a "classic" Oly compact, but can still offer pleasing results if you're willing to deal with some of the inconvenience.

Very nice shots, Dave. Yes, these older Olympus compacts have wonderful color and can have nicely sharp lenses as well. I bought a C-7000 a year ago and it is one of my favorite "old timers".
