Olympus CAMEDIA C 4000 Zoom 4.0 Megapixel / 7.7 Megapixel (interpolated)

Be careful how much you bid on an Olympus CAMEDIA C-4000 Zoom camera because Olympus no longer services or repairs this model. I've had 2 of them, 1st one was stolen and the 2nd one I just sent back for repair to find out that they will no longer repair it. Even though Olympus still auctions refurbished units on ebay. Olympus will offer to upgrade or trade up on camera's, but they are little help in trying to find a newer model that is compatible with the $400 in lenses, etc. that you may have for your C-4000. Otherwise this is a good camera!

I purchased this camera a few years ago and have been very pleased with it ever since. Although I owned other digital cameras before and after buying the c-4000 i must say that i prefer using it instead of the pricier models. It has a semi-rugged lightweight construction, nice zoom lens, great macro feature and photo quality and it's also very easy to use. I highly recommend this camera !!

Great pictures and functions, seems durable also. Easy to use on automatic, or you can be very creative on manual. Olympus should put this one back on their product line up!

This was the second camera I bought as the first one did not survive my grandson. The purchased camera was the replacement and the same brand and model. The size and the picture results that are obtained with these cameras are excellent. I have yet to use all the features available as there are many. The large LCD screen is also great. Even though this is an older model, for the costs,ease, and flexibility of use it is an outstanding buy. New cameras do offer higher pixels, but usually you don't use this higher horsepower, nor need it.

The C4000 is a very handy, easy to use, relatively compact camera that takes excellent pictures. The functions are pretty straight forward, as far as turning the flash on and off, or setting the macro feature. Battery life is good, especially with rechargeables. Unlike a lot of digital cameras that feature digital zoom, the C4000 makes use of a very good optical lens- which by the way, no matter what you spend on a digital camera or how many mega pixels, the lens is what ultimately determines image quality. I bought this particular camera because I have access to the same model at my workplace. Of course, they bought theirs brand new for a couple hundred bucks more. In the scant months that I've had the C4000 it's paid for itself. The 64mb media card will hold more pictures than I could possibly take (well, not really) and the screen is easy to see even in bright sunlight. Like any other manufacturer of electronic equipment, no single design or model stays current for long, which is kind of a shame because this is one great little camera.

Purchased for my 10-year old daughter. Excellent photo quality. Zoom is great. We both find it easy to use.

I was a previously owner of the camera, and lost it when it fell into the ocean while on vacation. I think the prices are extremely high for a camera that is over 8 years old. Would tell a buyer to check on the new technology first before making a final decision.

This is a good camera for first time digital users. Decided to by because of reasonable pricing and features. Had researched before buying.

olympus has a very nice functional digital camera in the camedia c-4000 zoom. the features are great and i like most everything about the picture taking ability of it technical functions. i am disappointed that they no longer offer repairs on it. if one can find a camera that is still like new and working i recommend it.

This camera is great. I love it! The picture quality is awsome! Whatever you want. .

I bought this camera abou a month ago, and I have received it a week ago. Overall, it's good but only things that make a littke disapointed is the memory capacity and how hard to get smart media memory. But I can still buy media traveler to keep the photo. So, if you want a great camera with unexpensive price (without thinking about the memory media), choose this stuf.

I have this camera and I love it because it takes really good pictures and makes ME look like I know what I am doing. I purchased this one to give to a friend who lost his camera and does not like the new one he purchased to replace the lost one. This is the first camera I have felt comfortable using. Not sure why Olympus quit making it. Not all people need the latest greatest newest camera. Most of us just need a camera that works great every time we use it. If anyone needs a camera ... you will not find one that takes better pictures or works easier then this one. Happy eBaying fellow eBayers.

I have been able to take great pictures with the camera. What I dislike is,the smartmedia cards are very hard to buy in your everyday electonic store. The cards are very expensive plus 128 mb is there largest card they havce to offer. Because of the added expense of the smartmedia card, I would not recomemd purchasing any Digital Camera that used that type of media.

This model of Olympus is a bit dated considering rapid advances in technology, but for use in a classroom -- it is fantastic. This camera operates on 4 AA batteries, which is a convenience in a setting where running to the store is not an option. In addition, the camera is lightweight, yet durable enough for students to use with their assignments, too. Additionally, Olympus software appears to be universal within the Olympus family. This is the third similar Olympus purchased!

I bought this camera brand new in 2005 and recently while I was photographing my 5 year old curious little niece, she reached out and pulled on the telescoping lense. :-( I was not surprised that the lense no longer worked. I purchased a used one on eBay since I cannot find one that compares with the quality and ease of use. It is quicker and sharper than any other point and shoot camera I've had. The only negative I have to share so far is that the telescoping lense is a bit too fragile. Specailly if you have a curious little niece like mine. :-)

I purchased this camera to replace the Olympus Camedia C-3020 3.0 megapixel camera that I have used and loved for the last 7 years. I didn't want a big upgrade (no need for a 7-megapixel or more) and I like a little bit of bulk in my camera -- I hate having to squint through a window on a camera that feels like a credit card.

Another consideration was that I didn't want to have to relearn controls and menus on a new camera. I used many features on my old one and I liked knowing where they were. I also loved the quality of my Olympus Camedia photographs.

I was so pleased when I received the C 4000 -- it works the same as my old camera but with the added bonus of an extra megapixel.

However, one very big difference that I didn't notice when I made the decision to buy was that on the C-3020 there is a window on top of the camera showing me the number of photos I have left on the card and the lighting setting, so I do not have to turn on the LCD display while taking photos.

But the C 4000 doesn't have this small display window!! In other words, in order to see the flash setting or the number of photos I have left, I have to turn on the LCD screen, which will use a lot more battery juice and almost force me to use the LCD display when taking photos. I can live with this, but wanted to make other potential buyers aware of this difference.

I love this camera so much that I now have 2 of them. Fun and easy to use. Very user friendly. The quality of the pictures are outstanding. A great camera for both the amateur or the advanced photographer. Don't think twice if you have the opportunity to purchase this camera. You will love it. Great quality and I have never had a problem with this camera.

I used this camera for years. I moved up to a Nikon D80 and we gave the Olympus to our grandson for Xmas and he loves it. My wife missed this camera so much that we bought another one for her.

Well I got it for my better half and and she absolutely loves it. She had another top brand with 7 Megapixels,and this cameras picture quality is far superior to the other . Most definately a great buy.

I bought it because I needed one for less money at the time. I don't like the size of this camera, it is too big. Sometimes the pictures are very very bright and I have to ajust the flash to a different one. I am not sure if I would pay a lot of money for a new one like this. I bought it used and very cheap so I am not comlpaining...

I've owned an Olympus C4000Z for years. This was a consumer reports "best buy" when introduced and I've thoroughly enjoyed mine. It has a high quality lens and the ability to shoot in many different modes....it's fun, and inexpensive, to experiment.

Although a rugged camera, mine didn't survive a two day trip pinned against the roof rack of my vehicle. I was thrilled to find (and buy) 2 of them on ebay at a HUGE saving over the new price.

Full featured, fun and easy to use, this camera is a fantastic value at current prices!

The Olympus C-4000 Zoom is the perfect camera for the ebay beginner seller or the experienced ebay seller. Shoots perfect pictures everytime that easily edited for your advertisement. Built very solidly and economical use of battery power. Great camera all around. It may be the last camera you need to buy. I have three and think very higly of all three. Buy one now!!!!!
