The Olympus C-5000ZOOM.

Hamburg, 29 August 2003 – Creativity knows no bounds. That is why the photographer’s main tool – the camera – must not impede any impulse to compose even the most imaginative of motifs. The five megapixel CAMEDIA C-5000ZOOM is such an instrument. Whether the glistening ripples of water gently lapping on a shore at sunset or the interplay of light and shadow on a portrait shot, it lets you express your photographic ideas with confidence. With its silvery, ergonomically contoured body, the very attractively priced C-5000ZOOM also gets top marks for a distinctive design that underlines the user’s artistic flair.


The provision of features that support photographer’s creative impulses is central to the C-5000ZOOM concept. That’s why an emphasis has been placed on enabling a high degree of manual control options. Virtually all camera settings can be adjusted. Focus, exposure, white balance and ISO to name but a few. The result: complete freedom to create a composition limited virtually only by your imagination. Photos can be captured from as close as 4 cm in Super Macro mode and extended exposure times of up to 16 seconds guarantee superb versatility.

Sure, you can also utilise the multiple automatic shooting modes to take fast snapshots and play with the 3x optical zoom to enlarge a scene, which combined with the 4x digital zoom enables even 12x magnification. But for real lovers of photography the CAMEDIA-5000ZOOM allows for the necessary individuality which makes the difference between a good and a great composition.

While a built-in flash lets you get optimal illumination for most situations of low and challenging light conditions – and offers room for experimentation with 1st and 2nd curtain slow synchronisation – the C-5000ZOOM does not set its limits there. A hot shoe connection allows external flash units to be clipped on. In this way, photographers are not only provided with the possibility to obtain greater flash power. They are also bestowed with considerably more flexibility to create a wider range of moods by using bounce flash techniques, for example. And in a camera of this price segment, this feature is almost unheard of.

Several function shooting modes such as two-in-one, panorama, B&W and sepia enhance the creative potential of the new camera model. The precision optical system is comprised of seven glass lenses which are arranged in six groups. Power supply is ensured by an ultra-small rechargeable lithium-ion battery, for which a quick-charger with a maximum recharging time of two hours is supplied with the camera.

Its many adjustable photographic features and sensational ergonomic design make the C-5000ZOOM a true object of desire for users demanding a camera that keeps up with their compulsion for creative expression. Sales of the camera are expected to commence in autumn 2003.

丑完全正常。
C的G5，N的5400，M的A1已经让O够心烦的了，S又出了个野兽级的828。
奥吧肯定不服气拉：我恁个多年※※的厂家会被你索尼吓倒，你以为家能泥糠
怕你我就虚拉，老子就和你卯上了。
比CCD，这个...这东西你索尼是强项，我的东东还用的你的呢，较真不是给自己过不去吗？算了，给自己面子，不比了。
比镜头，这个...这东东是菜丝的又不是你的，你得什么意呀！算了，给菜丝面子，不比了。
那比什么呀，对了，你不是公认的最丑吗，靠！丑你能丑过我？看看什么才叫丑......
               于是5000突然降临。
怎么，索尼？不服气呀，好再来
                于是5060粉墨登场......

外形象近日再欧洲发表的 5060 ，不过5060是 27-110mm 的

看样子，价格会不错。

样子是有点怪，不是很接受。

我faint，样子奇怪的到了极点，既sony828以后最难看的照相机，估计可以命名为olympus宇宙款

这还是O记的相机吗？简直太难看了。性能没有根本上的提升，样子也太怪异点了吧！

恶形恶相，天外来物！？

大图：

花里胡哨的，取景器看着别扭，LCD好像还不能反转吧？

得，除了500w象素外，我看还不如c4000z呢！样子也难看，还有用宝贵的XD卡。

估计没什么意思

模样丑怪，身大镜头小。模样抄袭CONTAX G2。
