Olympus announce C-370 ZOOM

The Olympus C-370 ZOOM is stylish but functional, with easy-to-use controls offering straightforward point and shoot photography. Using this camera could not be easier, even the four programme modes are supported by a special help function, which describes the selected mode on the LCD monitor.

With 3.2 million pixels, the Olympus C-370 ZOOM doesn't stint on performance. Definition and image clarity is further enhanced by a 3x optical zoom lens (equivalent to

38114mm on a 35mm camera), which incorporates three aspherical elements. A 4x digital zoom provides additional magnification power.

The C-370 ZOOM delivers great versatility. A Super Macro mode means subjects as little as 2cm away can be captured easily. Meanwhile video sequences are limited in length only by available memory. Image data is saved to the 12MB internal memory or on xD-Picture Cards of up to 512Mb.
