Olympus Camedia C-50 Zoom

The Olympus Camedia C-50 Zoom is a 5.0-megapixel digital camera featuring a high-quality 3x optical zoom lens. At its launch, it was one of the smallest 5-megapixel cameras available, featuring an all-metal body and a sliding lens barrier. It offers a range of manual controls usually found on larger cameras, including aperture and shutter priority modes, making it a versatile tool for enthusiast photographers seeking a pocketable device. Check the sliding cover for smooth operation, as sand or grit can easily jam the mechanism. The small control dial on the rear can sometimes become unresponsive or skip settings. SDS verifies the integrity of the xD-Picture Card slot and tests the zoom motor for any grinding noises. As it uses a specific LI-10B battery, the condition of the contacts and the battery's ability to hold a charge are thoroughly assessed.
