Olympus's early compact — the Camedia C-40 Zoom with 4MP and 3x optical zoom.

The Olympus Camedia C-40 Zoom is an early compact digital camera from 2001 featuring a 4-megapixel sensor and 3x optical zoom. Part of Olympus's early digital Camedia line. A piece of early digital camera history. The 4MP resolution was considered good for 2001. The Camedia brand preceded Olympus's modern PEN and OM-D digital camera ranges.

Basic early digital image quality — 4MP adequate for small prints and web use in 2001 but thoroughly obsolete by modern standards. 3x zoom provides minimal versatility. The early CCD sensor provides pleasant colour rendering. Built-in flash. Automatic and manual exposure modes. A functional snapshot camera from the dawn of consumer digital photography.

Fixed 3x zoom — non-interchangeable. CompactFlash storage. Weight varies. Build quality typical early 2000s consumer digital. No viewfinder on most models — rear LCD only. The early 2000s compact digital camera represents a now-obsolete category. Modern smartphones dramatically exceed this specification in every measurable way.

Essentially no value. 4MP from 2001 is thoroughly obsolete. A piece of digital camera history. Only for collectors of early digital cameras. Any modern smartphone is dramatically superior. Not recommended for any photographic purpose whatsoever in the current era.
