Olympus C5000Z - Makes wonders and disappointments as well!
(Karl Glanville - 9/10/08)I used this camera for several types of photography...from the usual point and shoot photos to some rather professional methods as night photography with tripod. Honestly, and this might sound rather ambigous, i prefer this camera to take some serious night photography than usual holiday photos. Day light photography is quite straight forward as in most cameras, but i found the C5000Z to be a bit noisy, and is a real pain to get the correct focusing. Sometimes, the focusing led, simply blinks meaning that is still out of focus, and sometimes it lights up showing that frame is in focus, but when downloading pics to your PC, you find out that pictures is simply out of focus.
The night photography sessions i made were really satisfying, having, sursprisingly enough, little noise and a real true-black pictures.
I am giving way to this camera since now i bought the Fuji Finepix S1000fd....hope it`ll better this camera in focusing and daylight photography, but honestly, i doubt if it can better the night shots i took with the C5000z.
