Olympus's 2001 original Ultra Zoom bridge — 2.1MP CCD, 10x 38-380mm equivalent f/2.8-3.5, SmartMedia

Released in May 2001, the C-700 Ultra Zoom launched Olympus's Ultra Zoom bridge-camera line, cramming a 10x zoom into a compact SLR-styled body at a time when such reach was rare. It was followed by the C-720, C-730 and later UZ models, several of which are already catalogued.

A 2.1-megapixel CCD outputs JPEG or TIFF up to 1600x1200, fed by an aspherical 5.9-59mm glass zoom — 38-380mm equivalent — with a bright f/2.8-3.5 aperture across the range. Framing uses an electronic viewfinder or rear LCD, standard focusing runs from 0.58m to infinity with macro down to about 0.1m, and images store on 3.3V SmartMedia cards from 8 to 128MB.

It suits collectors of early superzooms and CCD enthusiasts wanting long reach cheaply; there is no image stabilisation, so the long end demands bright light or support, and the EVF is coarse by later standards, but the lens itself is impressively fast for a 10x design.

Used checks: SmartMedia is the limiting factor — cards are long out of production, so a working card in the box is a real bonus. Test the whole zoom range for motor hesitation, check the EVF as well as the LCD for faults, and inspect AA battery contacts for corrosion from stored cells.
