The Olympus C-3020 is designed to be the most affordable 3-megapixel model in Olympus's C series of digital cameras. Its key features include a 3.3-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom lens, and SmartMedia storage.
As its model number implies, the C-3020's list of features fits between those of the discontinued C-3000 and the current C-3040. Compared to the C-3000, the 3020 adds USB direct connect--no driver software is required to transfer photos to most computers. In addition, a new noise reduction system improves image quality in low-light situations. Stepping up to the C-3040 gets you a faster, brighter lens, a larger internal memory buffer for faster shot-to-shot performance, movie mode with sound (the C-3020 records silent movies), external flash connector, remote control, and long-life disposable lithium batteries.
Like all models in the C-3000 series, the C-3020 is a powerful performer, featuring aperture priority, shutter priority, and full manual modes, plus movie mode and uncompressed TIFF shooting.
The C-3020 comes with a USB cable, carrying strap, lens cap, and retainer cord, four AA alkaline batteries, a 16 MB SmartMedia card, and a manual.
Packing a wonderful combination of optical and digital features, the C-3020ZOOM assures total shooting enjoyment. It is the ideal choice for those looking for a high-quality, trouble-free start into the world of treble megapixel photography. Experienced photographers will appreciate the creative scope offered by this 3.2 million pixel camera. An ergonomically styled body with elegant aluminum front complements the superb top-performance characteristics. With this addition to the award-winning C-3000ZOOM series, Olympus proves once again that state-of-the-art technology and good looks do not have to cost the earth.Optical precision and digital excellence are the hallmarks of all Olympus CAMEDIA cameras and the attractively priced C-3020ZOOM is no exception. With an effective resolution of 3.2 million pixels and a bright (F2.8), 3x zoom lens (equivalent to 32-96 mm on a 35 mm model) consisting of eight elements arranged in six groups, it provides the perfect optical and digital basis for dazzling image results. An impressive zoom factor of up to 7.5x is possible when the optical capabilities are joined by the seamless 2.5x digital zoom.
