2002 to 2007 AND THIS OLYMPUS IS STILL GOING STRONG

It's going on 2008 and this Olympus 2100 is still going strong. It is not a camera that's been on the shelf waiting to be used. It's been in at least half of ths U.S. taking pictures the whole way from Disneyworld to the back woods of Maine. If this camera is an example of Olympus quality, I am waiting for the equivalent of this camera to come out today. I see lots of cameras out there but when you get down to it, this old camera does everything they do. If anybody can suggest it's equivalent, please add on to the messages on this page.

Great pictures, great features

The only negatives that I have found are heavy battery consumption and the old memory card.

The picture quality is terrific, and it is obvious that this is a camera designed for SLR enthusiasts- all kinds of control, or just set it all on auto and fire away.

The image stabilization makes the 10x zoom useful, and the video mode was an unexpected bonus.

If you have to have the next best thing, this is not it. If you love having top of the line N-1 technology, you'd be hard pressed to beat this camera for the money.

Incredible camera

I now use an Oly E-500 dSLR. I have more money in filters and toys for my slr than the original C2100 cost me. And i'll admit there are times im still tempted to break out the c2100. This camera will do everything from ultra closeup macro's to extreme handheld zoom out of the box. Toss in a few filters et al and you have an entire system. The lens quality is just plain excellent and the image stabilisation makes it possible to shoot at max aperture with addons (i rigged a 2x video camera converter to it). With the rigged up 2x i was getting 1000mm. Handheld. My dslr wont do that. Period.

The 2 megapixels is a drawback but 2mp is plenty for a 4x6 and acceptable for 8x10's with a very good printer (I use the hp8750 and the canon ip6700d). If they had come out with a 5mp version of this within a year or two of my purchase id probably be using it instead of my slr. The camera is that good. But oly decided to put out a cheaper knockoff consumer camera next. You will not go wrong with this camera. The secret is in the lens and you simply arent going to find a fixed lens camera with a better lens period (ask a professonal photographer he'll tell you the lens is the whole ball game). I'll admit suprise at it still being priced at 150 for a 2mp camera. But thinking about it , it is a more capable camera at 2mp than most of the consumer p&s's are at 10mp.

Brings back great memories

The Olympus C-2100 was my first digital camera, and boy was it fantastic. I eventually sold it and "upgraded" to a camera with higher megapixels because, as great as the C-2100 is, 2.1 megapixels is paltry these days. But even the newer cameras I've tried pale in comparison to the C-2100's ability to take pictures in low-light situations. I captured absolutely stunning photos of sunsets and extremely low-light scenes at night by the fireplace with no lights on. I've never even come close to getting pictures like that with my newer cameras. I'm actually thinking about buying a used C-2100 so I have that capability again. They're dirt cheap now compared to when they were introduced many years ago, so if you get a chance to buy one, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. It's a real shame that Olympus never followed up by releasing the same camera with higher megapixels, because I certainly would have bought it, and I'm sure a lot of other people would have as well. I'll never understand why this camera went out of production and why Olympus essentially walked away from a segment of the market that it completely dominated.

This Camera is the Greatest!

I bought this camera a few years ago after doing weeks of homework. It was the best camera I could find at the time for the price... Let me just say it was one of the best purchases I've ever made. This camera has crossed half the states in the US, and a handful of countries in Europe and I've never been disapointed in a single shot. The zoom lets me take pictures of animals accross lakes and then later zoom in on the details. I have the most amazing pictures from going to watch the bald eagles in Illinois thanks to this zoom. If you are looking for a digita camera I'd strongly encourage you to purchase this one.

Who do you wish you could get closer to? Your soccer star kids? A family of squirrels? Just sling the Olympus C-2100 Ultra Zoom over your shoulder, and away you go. The C-2100 Ultra Zoom features a 10x optical zoom (equivalent to 38 - 380mm) and 2.7x digital zoom, to bring you the equivalent of 1080 mm closer to the action. Optical stabilization ensures your pictures are sharp and jitter-free. And 2.1 million megapixels make for exceptionally clear 8"x 10"enlargements. Take a look at the C-2100 Ultra Zoom. If you're looking for perfection in a full-featured zoom camera, you won 't get any closer.
