 Olympus C7070 Wide Zoom digital camera review : Olympus' leading digital compact cameras are the Olympus C5060 Wide Zoom and the C8080 Wide Zoom. Beginning of 2005 the Olympus Camedia C7070 Wide Zoom joined in, and this camera may be looked upon as the successor of the Olympus C5060. The cameras have their own special style with a nice zoom range, from a true wide-angle to a reasonable telephoto. If we compare it to a 35mm camera, the Olympus C-7070 Wide Zoom has an f/2.8 - f/4.8 27-110mm lens. It might not be an ultra zoom, but it still is an attractive range. Olympus is also aiming at the professional market with their solid build C7070 Wide Zoom digital camera.

 C7070 - Professional ambitions
The Olympus Camedia C7070 Wide Zoom definitely has professional ambitions. It features a sturdy and beautiful housing, a unique dual auto focus system and more than sufficient settings to meet the requirements of the demanding photographer. The resolution of 7.1 Megapixels delivers excellent A3+ prints. A high quality lens, a high bright and a nice zoom range add to the camera's possibilities and versatility. This means that already on paper the Olympus Camedia C7070 Wide Zoom performs greatly.
Olympus C7070 Wide Zoom - Improved auto focus
One of the many functions found on the Camedia C7070 is the improved auto focus, existing of a dual system. An external sensor is used to detect a subject's movement, and to adjust the focus accordingly, a so-called predictive focus system. The internal sensor incorporated in the C-7070 offers a 143-point auto focus system to enable focussing on almost the entire image area.
Olympus C-7070 Wide Zoom - LCD monitor
Also the new monitor will appeal to many users. It can be swivelled around in many directions thanks to the special construction. You don't have to tie yourself in knots to capture a unique and original image. A large amount of users will definitely appreciate the fact that the images can not only be stored on a CompactFlash memory card, but also on an xD-Picture card. Especially when the C7070 is used as a second camera, besides a digital SLR, the CompactFlash memory card will be preferred.
Olympus C7070 digital camera - Adjustments
Despite this sometimes awkward interface, the Olympus Camedia C7070 Wide Zoom certainly can't be ignored. The 143-point focus works extremely well. The lens delivers fine results, most surely if you open the aperture a little. On the whole no comments can be made about the image quality; however it doesn't stick out either. Or maybe it's the noise sticking out; because it's visible very quickly above ISO 100.
