Olympus C-50 Zoom Details

Editors' Comments

The 5-megapixel Olympus C-50 offers the relatively rare combination of high resolution and compact size. Though it should appeal to those in need of a simple, 5-megapixel camera with both an auto and a manual mode, the C-50 does have a number of drawbacks for a camera of its price, including no manual white balance and difficulty focusing in low-light conditions. The Canon PowerShot S50 may offer a better alternative.
