While not without its flaws, the Olympus C-5000 Zoom does what it's supposed to: take quality pictures (DC Resource - 11/19/03)

Though it is a fairly unattractive camera, the Olympus C-5000 takes good quality pictures and has a well-designed body that is easy to hold. Slightly noisy images, a movie mode that lags behind the competition, and noticeable redeye all lower its score, however. read original review

All in all, a very nice digicam with great functionality, at a very good price (Imaging Resource - 11/19/03)

A very positive review of the Olympus C-5000, which offers almost all the features of the more expensive C-5060, and produces impressive images. Image noise levels are low, and its low-light shots are impressive, but slower-than-average shutter lag is an inconvenience. read original review
