When the Olympus C-2000Z was announced
it surprised some people, everyone was expecting
Olympus to release a 2 megapixel 3x zoom digicam
to match Nikon, but most expected it to follow
along the lines of the popular D600/D620L (C1400XL)
digital SLR.
Instead Olympus went all traditional,
going for a compact camera look and a viewfinder
instead of the SLR "through the lens"
of the previous Olympus model.
We now know of the C-2500L which
promises to be a 2.5 megapixel SLR, although little
more than that is known.

The
specifications, however were impressive, the standard "2
mega" resolution of 1600 x 1200, a small compact size
(only 4" / 10cm wide), fast response and processing times,
good build quality and importantly a big fast F2 - F2.8 (35mm
- 105mm equiv.) zoom lens.
Other interesting features include automatically
adjusting ISO (the camera automatically boosts the CCD output
to gain sensitivity and thus reduce blurring from camera shake
in low light circumstances) and manual features such as aperture
and shutter priority.
Most
people considering a 2 megapixel digicam have the C-2000Z
somewhere either first or second on their list (along with
the Nikon Coolpix 950).
