Olympus C-150 (D-390 in North America)

Olympus announces the launch of its latest entry level digital camera, the C-150. The perfect model for those who want to explore the world of digital photography, this compact 2 million pixel digital camera is available from end of April with a RRP of £139.99 (inc VAT). For stockist information call freephone 0800 072 0070.

Following on from the C-120, the new C-150 features a redesigned body that is 15% smaller than the current model. Couple this with a bright lens (f2.8), 4x digital zoom and a host of automatic features, means this autofocus model guarantees great results while remaining incredibly easy to use. The introduction of a large 1.8" display means capturing your digital moments is even easier.

For those new to the world of digital imaging, the C-150 is exceptionally easy to use. Just insert the batteries and 16Mb xD-Picture Card, capable of holding 165 images in low quality mode, and away you go. Everything else is built in: automatic systems for exposure, focussing, ISO, white balance and an integrated flash, as well as a high quality 38mm AF lens (equivalent to a 35mm camera).

With four scene programs and four pre-sets for white balance, users can change the setting of the camera to suit the picture they want to take. Options cover every eventuality from overcast conditions to landscape settings.

Other functions include a panorama mode, 2 in 1 shooting, Black & White or Sepia modes and the ability to record short movie sequences in QuickTime Motion JPEG format.
