Olympus C-211 Zoom Digital Printing Camera
This is the best of the old and the new, the Olympus C-211 Zoom combines Olympus digital-camera technology with Polaroid's half a century of experience with instant photography. The result is a large but well-balanced device that works, shoots, and saves like a digital camera, while providing the capability to output baseball-card-size prints on Polaroid instant film. Image quality, both digital and print, is excellent. Each image shot and saved to the camera's SmartMedia card can be uploaded to a computer, printed within the camera, or both. Though the $1-per-print cost isn't cheap, you save by outputting only those you need on the spot. The C-211 is a very useful business tool with a wide range of applications.

Olympus C-3030 Zoom
The Olympus's reputation for image quality and versatility, the Olympus C-3030 Zoom melds an impressive array of features with a 3X optical zoom lens and a 3.34-megapixel CCD. On the solid, conventional-looking chassis, all the important controls are conveniently placed. The C-3030 Zoom has a wide array of settings and modes, including auto-bracketing, slow shutter-flash sync, auto and manual exposure, selectable shutter speeds, auto and manual focus, multipatterned white balance, and QuickTime movies with soundshadow detail, vibrant color, and great exposure. The virtually identical Olympus C-3000 Zoom produces the same superb, photo-quality images, but it can't shoot as quickly in burst mode and doesn't come with Adobe Photoshop Limited Edition 5.0. If you can live with those performance compromises, the C-3000 Zoom translates into quite a bargain.

Olympus C-3040
This new Olympus C-3040 digital camera ($999 list) has the same 3.34-megapixel sensor as its predecessor, the Editor's Choice-winning C-3030, but adds a better lens, more flexible controls, and a USB storage-class driver that streamlines image downloads.
The C-3040's only shortcomings are its paltry 16MB SmartMedia card and use of nonrechargeable batteries. Olympus includes two 3V Lithium cells with the camera, but although these batteries have excellent life and don't lose their charge during storage, they are expensive and hard to find.

Olympus C-700 UZ
This camera resembles the popular Olympus C-3000but it runs out of oomph on telephoto shots.
The C-700 UZ offers preprogrammed shooting modes for beginners but also provides a high level of manual control for more advanced shooters. The camera's menu system offers fewer options in the preprogrammed modes and more options in the manual shooting modes

Olympus C-740UZ
The new Olympus C-740UZ ($450 street) packs a powerful 10X zoom lens into a compact, lightweight camera body that's not much larger than many cameras with 3X zooms. The lens on the 3.2-megapixel C-740UZ is equivalent to a 38-mm to 380-mm lens on a 35-mm film camera. At just 10.4 ounces, the C-740UZ weighs just a fraction of the roughly 4 pounds a 35-mm film camera with a comparable lens would weigh. If you've been toting a big, heavy zoom lens around to get close-ups of birds, animals, or your kid's soccer matches, this may be the digital camera for you

Olympus Camedia Brio D-100
It is a small, slim, and stylish would most accurately describe the Olympus Camedia Brio D-100 ($250 street). This point-and-shooter has a limited feature set and a resolution of only 1.3 megapixels, but its convenience, price point, ease of use, and nice image quality will appeal to anyone who wants a low maintenance, take-everywhere digital camera. The D-100 ships with an 8MB SmartMedia card, USB and video cables, a strap, pocket-sized documentation, and Olympus's Camedia Master 2.5 utilities and image-editing software.

Olympus Camedia C-4040Z
Olympus currently offers more than 20 digital cameras that range from simple, inexpensive point-and-shoots to pricey, full-featured prosumer models. Both the Olympus Camedia C-4040 Zoom and E-10 are 4-megapixel cameras, but because they use different Sony CCDs (1/2- and 2/3-inch, respectively), they have different lenses, DSPs (digital signal processors), and ADCs (analog-to-digital converters) and take different images
