Olympus C-5060 out of drydock.....
2

Hi everyone,

Have been using my Olympus C-5060, I know its an old camera... Almost 20 years to be exact..... but I seem to always get great photos from it... I am a photographer, almost pro, I would say... but I have my handy Olympus C-5060 always with me. I do wish it had a 5X or more zoom, However 3X is great... Its a heavy camera though, compared to cameras these days.... But its built like a tank though whereas, newer ones, you drop them and say goodbye to it. The image below is of a closeup of a palm leaf, straight out of the camera... NO Photoshop, or Polarr, or anything else.... I think it does a great job even by todays standards in point and shoot cameras... But even today it a great camera for an beginner Pro photographer who are not ready to advance to a DSLR... Well enough for now, Hope you enjoy my nostalgia...

Take Care...

Great shot, and well positioned for composition too. I have had both the C-5060 and the C-7070 and I agree they they are really good cameras, unfortunately as you say somewhat oversized by today's standards
