Olympus C-7000 Zoom -- Smallest 7.1-Megapixel Camera

The new Olympus C-7000 Zoom is proof that good things do come in small packages.





The world's smallest and lightest 7.1-megapixel, 5x optical zoom Olympus C-7000 Zoom digital camera [review] packs numerous advanced technologies for ultra-high image quality into an incredibly compact body with a convenient, easy-to-carry size.

The Olympus C-7000 Zoom includes a newly developed 5x optical zoom lens (f2.8/f4.8 - f8.0, 38mm - 190mm equivalent) that is specifically designed to maximize the imaging potential of its high-definition 7.1-megapixel CCD sensor. United with Olympus' exclusive TruePic TURBO Image Processor that suppresses noise and boosts image definition to ensure sharper, clearer images, the sensor and lens capture high-resolution images that deliver excellent color definition, clarity, and high contrast. With a fast startup of less than one second and a fast shutter release time, the C-7000 ensures high-speed response that allows users to enjoy high-quality imaging the instant they place the camera in their hands.

Measuring just 4"(W) x 2.3"(H) x 1.7"(D), and weighing a mere 7.7 ounces, the Olympus C-7000 Zoom is the smallest and lightest 7.1-megapixel, 5x optical zoom digital camera in the world. Destined to become an instant classic, the camera's metal body is finished in a sophisticated Premium Titanium color that has a retro look reminiscent of earlier Olympus digital cameras. While offering the high mobility of a compact camera, the body design assures a level of functional operating ease that is appropriate to a high-performance model.

Incorporating two lens elements that are aspherical on both sides, the Olympus C-7000 Zoom captures images of such high quality that they produce beautiful prints in sizes as large as 16 x 20 inches. In addition, the 5x optical zoom lens can be combined with 6x digital zoom to achieve up to 30x total zoom capability that can beautifully capture distant subjects without sacrificing image clarity in the final result.

The camera's Super Macro mode with an extremely shallow depth of field enables users to shoot from as close as 0.8", filling the frame with truly dramatic close-up images.
