Olympus CAMEDIA C-700 Ultra Zoom
Today, it isn’t good weather, and it’s end of the year, so I clearned house as year-end cleaning.
I bought a new digital camera this year.
I bought some replacement this year. Television, laptop … (This is a pretext that I couldn’t saving money 🙁 )
This is the digital camera I have used for about 10 years.
Olympus CAMEDIA C-700 Ultra Zoom
[amazonjs asin=”B00005B6UF” locale=”US” title=”Olympus Camedia C700 2MP Digital Camera w/ 10x Optical Zoom”]
Optical 10 times zoom lens, 2.11 megapixel. Launched in April 2001. 10 years past…. oh…
Big lens, good picture ,so I like it.
It’s heavy, so I bought a new one by mail-order before, but I couldn’t like that. That had not much zoom, not good picture.
So I parted with that camera.(My mother use now)
Though it’s heavy, but I continued to use it.
But there was something trouble with me recently.
I come to take much much picture than before.
Storage media is SmartMedia.
Do you know SmartMedia???
And, this is 8 megabyte.
SmartMedia, at most 128 megabyte.
And, Smartmedia already went out of production.
I seeked used Smartmedia at the net auction, but it is at a high price.
I thought it’s better for me to buy a new camera.
So I bought a new one. “Fuji film”. I bought gold one.

It’s small, and light. 15 times zoom.I think it’s ok.
At first I tried to buy a Olympus’s 25 times zoom but, it’s very heavy, so I gave up to buy.
I’ll hold dear this old camera.
I won’t throw away as refuse.
By the way, when I went to the shop to buy a SmartMedia at first, a young male clerk asked me what is a SmartMedia…
He was serious…:'(
