        5 out of 5 stars Best 15 inch lcd monitor around.......2003-11-20

        After shopping everywhere for a sub three hundred dollar monitor with speakers, this one takes the cake. It looks good in bright light or in the dark and matches nicely with the Logitech Navigator cordless mouse/keyboard. This is a beige monitor even though there is no picture. Go to benq dot com for more info, just make sure you buy the 567S model, not the older 567.

              1 out of 5 stars Crapola.......2005-10-25

              Bought this camera and it died on me 13 months afterward. Not covered under warranty. The CPU went out and they want $150 to fix it. My local camera shop says they can't do the work here and that it must go to Olympus. NEVER BUYING OLYMPUS AGAIN.

              5 out of 5 stars Easy to use and great photos!.......2005-01-22

              I bought this camera almost a year ago. I have used it constantly since. They battery has a great life... I don't have to charge it very often. It's relatively simple to use and master. I love the black and white setting. Overall, this camera takes excellent pictures that look like studio quality.
              I'm planning on buy the underwater housing (PT-019) before our next vacation.

              2 out of 5 stars DIED.......2005-01-13

              my olympus c-5000 died exactly a year and 10 days after owning it. I didnt use it that much and it worked fine, but when i started using it alot about 2 weeks ago, the thing died and when i charged the battery it still didnt work, then i gave it one more try and it started beeping loudly and i smelt burning rubber coming from my camera! it fried after about a year of owning. never buying olympus again

              4 out of 5 stars after 1000 shots so far.......2004-10-26

              this is my second digital camera. my first is a refurbished 3 megapixel from Canon that was great at taking the instant snapshot. i had no exposure problems for that one for some reason. this Olympus on the other hand is great after some practice.

              In my case, I got this to shoot my school portfolio shots. i'm a graphic design student with okay photography skills but not a pro. So I required a bit of patience for composition and lighting. Its good enough to print big tabloid sizes on an epson at 200dpi (heavyweight matte) at the maximum tiff file size. The colors are great especially after you fight to get the right exposure at non-optimal conditions. But it took me like 1000 shots to get over the muddy exposures. (crash course in photography - lighting is king)

              On a sunny day its great. I like the manual controls though you can't save the settings completely and have to reprogram the thing. With the timer and tripod, the slow shutter speeds help for dark to night shots. I tried the nighttime mode and it was remarkable compared to say playing around with a manual film camera for the first time. the flash is adjustable and having a hot shoe helps for the glamour shots.

              Scrolling through all the menus and submenus are okay. I use a Canon G5 at work and its numerous buttons at first is intimidating but seems quicker access than this Olympus. Yet the scrolling on the C5000 is okay to use unless you are freaking out and rushing. Its better than the Canon in that it seems more logical as I didn't really study the manual in detail.

              Back to the controls, it has some good adjustable controls to hot rod your shots. I just wish it could stop down (or is it up?) to smaller aperature than F/8. The zoom is average range. But for some reason the super macro has great shots - probably because all the light is up close - compared to regular shots.

              Sometimes when you shoot dark shots there is some noise and speckles in the image dark areas even when you use noise reduction. And there is a somewhat vignette phenomena as well.

              Other good things about the camera: the various white balance controls helps alot; the camera starts fast. the controls are fast.

              Not so good things: transferring files is not so fast as the Canon G5 and its software. the included 16mb Xd card is a joke. waiting for the camera to reload after the 15 mb tiff file is saved is tedious. you have to have a spare proprietary Olympus battery if you get carried away and run out of juice. no included hand strap.

              4 out of 5 stars You cannot record movies with sound!.......2004-08-23

              I thought my camera was faulty after the first video taking, never had I thought that anybody would like to record videos without sound. Yes, it is mentioned ONLY in the reference manual. The camera is very good overall, except that there isn't any built-in microphone, therefore, when you record video clips, they become silent movies! DON'T buy this unless you don't mind silent clips.

              Usually, batteries in the camera will be taken out after use to avoid leakage, but the date setting will have disappeared when it is used again. So far, I have not seen any camera comes with small battery that can keep the date setting after the big batteries have been taken out.
