Olympus's 2004 4MP Camedia compact — 3x zoom, TruePic Turbo, 7cm super macro, xD storage, AA power
The Olympus Camedia C-460 Zoom del Sol was a 4-megapixel compact announced in 2004, its 'del Sol' suffix pitching it as a sunny, user-friendly travel camera. In North America the equivalent model was sold as the D-580 Zoom, so listings under either name refer to the same camera. It sat a step above the 3.2MP C-370 in the entry Camedia range.
A 4-megapixel 1/2.7-inch CCD sits behind a 3x optical zoom, with Olympus's TruePic Turbo processor handling images. A Super Macro mode focuses from just 7cm, and unlike cheaper Camedias of the year it records movies with sound. It supports PictBridge direct printing over a USB AutoConnect interface, stores to xD-Picture Card, weighs about 165g and runs on two AA batteries.
It makes sense for buyers wanting a slightly better-specified early-2000s CCD compact than the base models: more resolution, sound in movies and a genuinely close macro mode, still with foolproof automatic operation and AA convenience. Low light remains a weakness, as with all small-sensor compacts of the era.
Check the xD-Picture Card slot and try to buy with a card, as the format is discontinued and cards sell at collector prices. Confirm the lens extends cleanly and the Super Macro mode focuses, test flash charge and LCD condition, and open the AA compartment to look for corrosion from cells left in storage.
