Editors' Comments

The impressive Olympus C-5060 Wide Zoom is Olympus' most versatile C-series camera to date (as of 11/11/03). With a lens that offers both wide-angle capability and a 5x optical zoom (translating into the film equivalent of a 27 - 110mm focal length), the Olympus C-5060 is just as good with landscapes as it is with close-up shots.

This camera is sure to satisfy even the most demanding of users (Steve's Digicams - 12/19/03)

The Olympus C-5060 Wide Zoom is an impressive photographic tool, offering more than enough controls and options to satisfy advanced photographers. A large finger grip makes the 5060 easy to hold. read original review

4.7 out of 5

The C-5060 Wide Zoom is one of the best Olympus cameras in recent memory (DC Resource - 12/17/03)

On the downside, the 5060's images can be a little noisy at the default camera settings, and the controls can be confusing for less-experienced operators. read original review
