Olympus's 2002 flagship Camedia compact — 5MP 1/1.8in CCD, f/1.8-2.6 zoom, RAW, dual CF and xD/SM slots

The C-5050 Zoom of 2002 topped Olympus's Camedia compact range, a 5-megapixel enthusiast camera aimed at photographers who wanted SLR-style control in a pocketable body. It remains one of the better-remembered CCD compacts of its generation.

A 5-megapixel 1/1.8in CCD sits behind a 35-105mm-equivalent 3x zoom with an unusually fast f/1.8-2.6 aperture. It records RAW, TIFF and JPEG, offers ISO 64-400 and shutter speeds from 16s to around 1/2000, and has a 1.8in articulating LCD. Storage is notably flexible: one slot takes Type I/II CompactFlash including Microdrives, the other SmartMedia or xD-Picture Card. Power is four AA batteries.

Its fast lens, RAW support and tilting screen make it one of the most usable early-2000s compacts today, popular with CCD-colour enthusiasts and street shooters; burst shooting reaches about 3.3fps for short runs, though autofocus is leisurely in dim light.

Used buyers should test both card slots — CompactFlash keeps it practical even if xD and SmartMedia are obsolete. AA power means no charger worries. Check the articulating LCD ribbon by cycling the screen through its range, verify the pop-up flash rises and fires, and look for the mode-dial and jog-dial wear common on heavily used examples.
