Olympus's 2004 entry Camedia compact — 3.2MP CCD, 38-114mm zoom, xD storage, AA power; D-535 Zoom in the US
The Olympus Camedia C-370 Zoom was an entry-level digital compact introduced in 2004, sitting near the bottom of the Camedia point-and-shoot range. In North America the same camera was sold as the D-535 Zoom, so UK listings under both names describe one product. It was aimed at first-time digital camera buyers moving up from film compacts.
It is built around a 3.2-megapixel 1/2.7-inch CCD behind a 3x optical zoom equivalent to 38-114mm, with three aspherical elements and 4x digital zoom on top. Images go to 12MB of internal memory or xD-Picture Cards up to 512MB, at a maximum 2048x1536 pixels, and it records 320x240 video clips. Power comes from two AA cells, and the body measures roughly 88x63x39mm at 140g.
As a simple family snapshot camera it favours ease of use over control: there are scene modes rather than manual exposure. The small CCD limits low-light ability, but base-ISO daylight shots have the dense colour many buyers now seek out in mid-2000s CCD compacts. AA power makes it easy to keep running today.
Check the xD-Picture Card slot works, since xD cards are discontinued and now cost real money second-hand — a camera bundled with a card is worth more. Confirm fresh AA cells boot it, the lens extends without error messages, the LCD is unmarked, and the flash charges. Corroded battery contacts are common on AA-powered compacts stored with cells inside.
