Although the Olympus C5000 has the metal body typically associated with
Olympus designs, its shape is a departure from past models. The Olympus C5000
has a rounded design making it very ergonomic and is a combination of metal and
silver-finished plastic parts. The lens retracts into the camera body and comes
with a plastic cover for added protection.
The Olympus C5000--The Perfect Midrange Digital Solution
The amount of mega-pixels in a digital camera relates to the power of its chip
and how many pixels it can process. The greater the amount of mega-pixels, the
greater the resolution and the sharper the picture. The Olympus C5000 has a five
mega-pixel chip, making it an excellent choice for demanding photographers on a
tighter budget.
The only real problem with this camera stems from its battery design.
Although the lithium-ion battery that comes with the Olympus C5000 has a decent
lifespan, the camera requires the use of these proprietary batteries. This means
that once they die, you cannot simply replace them with AAs, but must recharge
them or purchase a brand new replacement.
