Olympus Press Release Excerpt:
Affordable Style for Beginners
Introducing the new Olympus C-315 Zoom
London, 1st July 2005
The new Olympus C-315 Zoom is a stylish
and attractively priced camera. Building on the success of its
predecessor the C-310Z, pronounced ‘Best Digital Budget Compact
Camera’ by TIPA in 2004, the new Olympus C-315Z boasts the same
special blend of design, performance, handling and
affordability. It’s resolution has also been significantly
increased to 5.1 million pixels to provide exceptional picture
quality but what won’t be changing is the camera’s great value
for money.
Available from the end of July, the
Olympus C-315Z comes highly recommended for first-time digital
camera buyers and all those who are budget conscious yet still
demand high-quality results.
The C-315Z is designed to make digital
photography accessible and affordable for ambitious beginners.
Its predecessor’s winning combination of ease-of-use and
high-quality has now been crowned with the additional advantage
of 5.1 million pixels, enabling large print-outs and detailed
image cropping. The new resolution complements other features,
such as a bright 2.8x optical zoom lens and together with the
3.5x digital zoom brilliant close-ups are possible. The C-315Z
also offers a Super Macro mode, enabling successful shots from
as close as 2cm from the subject. Five automatic scene
programmes are available to help compose the best image and
provide added convenience and for those valuing even greater
versatility, a movie recording function has been added so movies
can be recorded and conveniently reviewed on the camera’s
integrated 4.6cm LCD.
As you would expect from a user-friendly
camera, the C-315Z supports PictBridge, removing the need for a
PC to print from the camera. Just connect straight to a
compatible printer, such as the Olympus
P-10, to instantly print glossy photographs. Alternatively,
effortless, one-touch printing is also possible with printers
that incorporate
ImageLink print system. Images are saved onto removable xD
memory cards (a 16MB card is supplied with the camera but these
small, fast and durable cards are now available in capacities of
up to 1GB). For users without printer access or those on the
move, xD cards can also easily be taken to any photo dealer to
obtain first-class prints.
