Olympus's 2011 entry compact, US twin of the VG-110 — 12MP CCD, 27-108mm equivalent 4x zoom, SD storage
The D-700 was the North American name for Olympus's VG-110, a budget V-series compact introduced in 2011 — the two share a single instruction manual and are the same camera. It sat at the entry point of Olympus's late compact range as digital point-and-shoots gave way to smartphones.
It carries a 12-megapixel 1/2.3in CCD with ISO 80-1600, behind a 4x wide-angle zoom equivalent to 27-108mm (f/2.9-6.5). A 2.7in LCD handles framing, video tops out at VGA resolution, and Olympus's Magic Filters and digital image stabilisation are built in. Storage is SD/SDHC and power comes from the small proprietary LI-70B lithium-ion battery, rated around 170 shots.
It is a simple, pocketable snapshot camera now riding the CCD-compact revival; the wide 27mm end is genuinely useful, but the slow tele aperture, digital-only stabilisation and VGA video mark its budget position.
Used examples live or die by the LI-70B battery — cells are third-party only now, so check charge retention and that a USB charger or adapter is included. SD card support keeps storage painless. Confirm the lens extends without grinding, and note that eBay searches for this name surface Nikon D700 SLR accessories, so listing photos matter.
